Dermatologist goes over how to take care of your neck skin

The skin of the neck does not have the same amount of sebaceous, or oil glands that the face does. This means that it is easily exposed to the environment and gravity. The neck can age faster than the face. We sometimes forget to put sunscreen and skincare on our necks, and with all the devices we use, including tech neck- the neck is sometimes a huge age giveaway for some people. It is imperative that we continue to use our skincare and beauty products on our faces and neck.

The same skincare products can be used on the face and neck- but the neck requires more moisturization and constant sun protection. We require more moisture there as there are less oil glands there to protect the skin. 

Loss of collagen and fat over time as well as UV damage and wear and tea, causes the neck skin to get looser so you want to look for skincare ingredients to tighten and bring back moisture. Visha Skincare RejuVenating Moisturizer was formulated to address the loss of collagen that happens as we age.  It tightens and brings back moisture caused by estrogen loss due to key ingredient Unicorn Root. Unicorn root has estrogen like properties and can help counteract the effects of estrogen loss in the skin when used topically. This helps keep collagen and moisture in the skin. Retinols can be used on the neck, but due to the neck bending/occlusion they can be rather irritating, they must be used with moisturizers such as RejuVenating Moisturizer as well to get the collagen thickening results without irritation. It is important when using neck skincare to gently rub the product in going in an upwards direction from the decolletage to the jawline. This motion does not pull on the neck skin and promotes absorption as well. Other neck  treatments include Ultherapy, which is an ultrasound tightening device that heats up the collagen in the skin to thicken it and helps lift and tighten sagging necks and jowls. Kybella is a fat busting injection and cool sculpting are non invasive procedure that are used to address the fatty loose waddle under the neck- they help with the fat and sometimes tightens the skin. Visha Skincare RejuVenating moisturizer has unicorn root extract and is a potent emoillient for the face, neck, chest and vaginal skin. They can be used in combination skin all over the body.

Prescription strength retinols, high concentration serums and benzoyl peroxide should not be used on the neck, skincare products tend to settle in neck lines, and strong formulations can cause redness and inflammation in the area of occlusion (where the neck folds over itself, esp. when sleeping with the product on your neck. 

Visha Skincare RejuVenating Moisturizer is formulated for the neck, face, decolletage and vaginal skin! areas that loose moisture over time, and that need the extra collagen support to prevent sagging.
