The neck and chest area is often exposed when you wear clothes. And that is also the area that people look at when they see you. Therefore, if there are many wrinkles on the neck and chest, your smooth face may not look appropriate.
So, alongside keeping your face smooth, you also need to know how to take care of your neck and chest area.
Habits like sleeping positions, massage techniques, and aging in general… contribute to the formation of wrinkles on the neck and chest. Especially, sleeping on your side or belly can also cause wrinkles on this area of the skin.
Advice to avoid wrinkles on the neck and chest area:
Sleeping posture
Sleeping on your side makes the skin on the chest and neck more saggy, just like on the face. To prevent wrinkles, you should sleep on your back. However, some people may not be used to this position. You can put pillows under your arms on both sides of your body. These pillows support your arms and shoulders, preventing you from rolling back and forth during sleep. After a week, you will feel more comfortable with this new position and won’t need pillows under your arms anymore. Sleeping on your back helps the skin maintain its natural position, thus avoiding wrinkles on the neck and chest
Use moisturizer for the neck and chest area
When applying moisturizer to your face, you should also pay attention to your neck and chest area. Moisturizing cream helps keep this area hydrated, increasing elasticity and reducing wrinkles. The moisturizer for this area is similar to the one for your face. You can use body lotion or facial moisturizer. Use a serum that cares for the face in the same way to care for this precious area of the skin.
Massage the neck and chest area
Massage helps improve blood circulation and makes the skin on the neck and chest area whiter and more beautiful. Note that when massaging the neck, you should stroke from bottom to top to prevent sagging. Remember to massage the chest area to both sides.
Avoid restrictive postures
When wearing a bra, you should avoid choosing a too tight bra that squeezes the chest area and causes the skin to wrinkle. You should also wear a properly fitting bra to support and prevent sagging of the breasts.
Limit bending the neck to avoid wrinkles on the neck. Keep your body posture comfortable. When sitting, keep your back and neck straight, facing forward. The same goes for moving around. Constantly bending and tucking your neck inward creates more wrinkles on the neck.
Diet
The overall diet affects the skin on the entire body, including the neck and chest area.
Sun protection for the neck and chest area
When going out, we sometimes apply sunscreen to our faces but forget about the chest area. When wearing sunscreen or face masks, we often don’t pay attention to the neck and chest area. This area is frequently exposed to sunlight, so you need to protect it from wrinkles.
