How to deal with a flabby neck

7 rules for restoring elasticity and tone of neck skin at home

The three most obvious telltale signs of a woman's age are the neck, the area around the eyes and the arms. So, ladies?

In order not to have a flabby neck... Some of us will rush to the mirror and nod with satisfaction to our reflection, while others will only smile sadly.

While we were young, we were more concerned about beautiful eyelashes and luxurious hair, and we didn’t even think about our necks. But the skin of the neck is so soft!

Due to its structure, it loses elasticity and firmness faster than facial skin.
Add to this our forgetfulness to take care of our neck, age-related dehydration of the skin, cervical osteochondrosis and an incorrectly selected pillow, “irresistible gravity” and neglect of gymnastics.

There are many misfortunes on our beloved neck, but there is only one solution.
And you will be surprised! This is self-discipline.
Every day, persistently and methodically do everything in order to improve the condition of the skin of the neck, not to bring it to a flabby state - that’s what is necessary.
By the way, be sure to add treatments for the décolleté to your neck care.
So what to do?

1. The enemy of a flabby neck is correct posture.

Watch in this video how to develop royal posture. Train this posture until it becomes yours, natural.

.
When you sit, stand or walk, remember that you are a queen! Posture, nose slightly up (just a little), back straight - and immediately beautiful breasts.
Who says “wrong age”.
Okay, let’s remember how old Queen Elizabeth II of England is.

.
Now watch the video and feel the magical posture! And then you will take up a beautiful gait.

2. Neck care at home

Please remember - caring for the skin of your neck and décolleté is just as important as caring for your facial skin. As one of my clients says, “All my skin is cleansed, moisturized and nourished.”

.
And it doesn’t matter whether your neck skin is toned or fading, or someone might say aging, flabby. At 40 years old or 50 or over 60 years old.

The main thing is daily proper care!

.
And also remember that neck skin is always dry or normal. But with age it becomes more often dry.

Therefore, choose cosmetics for all stages of neck skin care or folk recipes - for dry and/or normal skin!
Use gentle scrubs, also labeled “for dry skin.”

Anti-aging care for neck skin, flabby or in good tone – is the same. The only difference is the number of masks during the week.
Write down:

1. Cleansing (washing), toner, day/night face cream or special neck cream - daily morning and evening;
2. Gentle scrub 1-2 times a week;
3. Masks (nourishing, moisturizing, restoring, anti-aging, lifting and others - all for dry skin) 3-7 times a week!

How to use cosmetics correctly, how to apply them, how to remove them see below in the series “Facial care after 40-45 years”.

Here “face” means: FACE = face + eye area + neck + décolleté area.

The series is suitable for women of any age: from 40 years to 65 years and older.

.

3. Self-massage for neck laxity

The third most important rule is self-massage.

Many famous cosmetics houses have even come up with exclusive types of massage for the face, neck and décolleté. But the essence is the same everywhere - patting and pinching, as well as pressing on certain acupuncture points.

.
In addition, massaging the back of the neck is effective - along the vertebrae and vertebral processes separately, which stimulates proper blood circulation.

1. Thanks to good blood circulation, the skin cells of the face and neck, as well as the brain, actively receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen.
2. With good blood circulation, your cosmetics work more effectively and you get the desired results.

The stronger and healthier the spine in the neck and so-called collar area, the longer the neck skin will be protected from sagging.

4. Exercises for a healthy neck

Another rule for neck care is gymnastics.
During the day, you also need to slowly bend your neck left and right, back and forth. The amplitude of movements should be small, no sudden jerky movements. The neck, and the whole back, in fact, don’t like this.

Remember, have you seen Chinese qigong gymnastics somewhere, how slowly and smoothly all the movements are performed. This is a more physiological approach than classical European gymnastics with their sharp swings and lunges.

.
This exercise is useful:

1. Sit up straight, tilt your head towards your left shoulder
2. With your left hand over your head, grab the area of ​​your right ear and tilt your head lower and lower, while pulling the muscles of your right shoulder to the side.

This stretch is simple and very effective. Blood circulation in the neck, back of the head and shoulders improves and normalizes. It is useful for both those who work while sitting and those who spend the working day on their feet.

5. Orthopedic pillow for a beautiful and healthy neck

It doesn’t depend on whether you are prone to neck problems or not, but it’s better to sleep on flat, low orthopedic pillows.

Try how comfortable it is, and how well you get a good night's sleep, and you will never go back to using other pillows.

6. Exercises against neck laxity

Also useful for keeping the neck in good condition. gymnastics for the face (these exercises are sometimes called facial yoga, fitness, face-building, shaping, etc.).

c. Then lower your tongue, as if trying to reach your chin,
d. and also swing it in different directions.

2) The second exercise is to pronounce the sounds “I”, “U”, “O”, “A”, while actively articulating with your lips.

When caring for your neck at home, use essential and vegetable oils.
Masks with oils or oil compresses are very good at revitalizing aging neck skin.

For example, such a compress as a wrap:

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of almond, sesame or jojoba oil slightly in a water bath,

A flabby neck, or “turkey neck”, “turkey goiter” is a soft tissue condition where the skin under the chin sags in the form of a drop. A typical problem not only for women, but also for men.

It occurs most often with age and goes through different stages. In especially advanced cases, the angle between the chin and neck - the so-called “angle of youth” - disappears, and the skin of the chin literally flows down onto the neck.

You can improve the appearance of your neck at home only at the very beginning stages flabbiness. In the middle and severe stages, only cosmetology and plastic surgery will help.

However, the initial stage already is a very worrying sign. Imagine an iceberg. What we see: fading, wrinkles and sagging skin is its tip. Such manifestations indicate deep and large-scale changes in fat and muscle tissue.

This is a fairly serious defect that requires immediate action. The longer you delay solving the problem, the stronger the symptoms increase, the more difficult it is for loose skin of the face and neck to be corrected.

Expert comment:

“If you notice that the skin on your neck has become loose, you should literally today Call and make an appointment with a cosmetologist at your next appointment. Because one stage flows into another very quickly: in a matter of months the skin becomes wrinkled, folds form on the neck and a bag under the chin.

The so-called “turkey neck” is a late stage. With this development of events, a sagging chin and neck are difficult to correct even using Hollywood platysmaplasty methods and require a masterly combination of several techniques from the surgeon.”

Loose skin on the neck occurs for various reasons

With age, the skin and muscles (mostly the neck muscle - platysma) lose tone. The muscle fibers separate. A double chin forms, and the skin of the neck begins to sag unsightly.

This process is accelerated by the weakening of subcutaneous tissue due to a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin with age.

Excess fat also contributes. Loose in its structure, it gives the neck looseness and, with its heaviness, additionally stretches the skin.

There are other reasons too.

1. Sharp weight loss. First, fat accumulates in the neck area. After losing weight, it disappears, but the skin remains stretched.

Whatever the reasons for a sagging chin and neck, it does not add attractiveness and grace to the face.

How to tighten your neck at home

Does skin care help tone your neck? These tips will help you tighten your skin and muscles in the initial stages.

1. To eliminate sagging neck skin, you need to drink at least 2 liters a day of ordinary clean water - it maintains hydration and increases the elasticity of soft tissues.

After exercise, throughout the day, you should take short minutes of rest.

Moisturizing and nourishing creams that suit your skin type should be applied not only to the face, but also to the neck. On the front and back surfaces of the neck, the cream is applied from bottom to top - from the collarbones to the chin. Along the sides of the neck - down, from the ears to the shoulders.

As for physical strength loads, you should not overexert the platysma and lift weights. Platysma is a delicate muscle. You will be able to pump up your neck, but at the same time there will be problems with cords - vertical lines on the front surface of the neck.

Straining the neck, for example when lifting weights, leads to the development of unsightly vertical bands

How to get rid of loose skin on the neck using cosmetic methods

At initial signs of sagging can be helped by mesotherapy, biorevitalization, mesobotox, lipolytic injections, placement of mesothreads and thread lifting. Myostimulating procedures have a good effect.
