Thanks to our laptops and phones, “tech-neck” is a real thing… but don’t worry, there are ways to protect and rejuvenate the neck and chin!

“Girl, the skin around my neck is starting to sag… is there anything I can do to tighten it that actually works, besides some kinda surgery?” I get this kind of question a lot and the answer is yes! There are several things you can do to protect the skin of your neck as well as enhance the muscle tone of the whole area. Lots of products claim they have a ‘tightening’ effect but even if these do offer any kind of enhancement it is always temporary. Relying on topical treatments is the equivalent of putting a scarf over your skin disguising the issue without getting to the root cause of it. Here are some easy rituals to add to your day to improve muscle tone, stimulate skin regeneration and improve the overall look and feel from your chin down:

Incorporate a Gua Sha practice into your skin care routine- Gua Sha is an ancient practice that utilizes a smooth stone to stimulate lymph flow, tone muscles and flush the skin with nutrient rich oxygenated blood. You can literally iron out your wrinkles and fine lines with daily use.
Apply a cold compress to the area every day- The application of a cool/cold compress stimulates an immediate drawing response activating the piloerector muscles improving muscle tone to the area.
Always bring your skincare down the neck and chest- All those luscious ingredients will benefit and support the skin of your neck and chest as well as your face! And don’t forget the SPF.

Start doing these rituals every day and watch the tone and feel of your skin improve! You got this!
