YOGYAKARTA - Surprisingly, the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of premature aging. Compared to the face, why is the neck aging faster?

In this article, we will explore scientific reasons behind a faster aging neck and provide complete guidance to care for it to look healthy and youthful.

Reporting from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there are several factors that cannot be controlled over neck-feeding cases, one of which is genetics. However, there are also bad habits that accelerate it, namely excessive UV exposure, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.

All the factors mentioned above can have an impact on skin conditions and soft tissues around the face and neck over time.

"As we age, we lose volume on our faces which makes the appearance look young. The skin is also running low and becomes more transparent, so that light can penetrate and show the dark shadow of the muscle and blood vessels below," explained Doctor Karen totaling, a plastic surgery specialist.

Doctor Karen added that an aging neck has a thinner layer of soft tissue above the neck muscle. Dredging is formed due to persistent muscle contractions and is exacerbated by damage from sunlight and environmental influences.

In addition to the general causes above, many of us sometimes forget or even deliberately ignore neck skin care.

"We are all diligent in wearing sunscreen and good quality skin care products on the face, but sometimes we don't move on to the neck. So, don't be surprised if the texture of our neck skin actually leaks out," said Doctor Anureet Bajaj, another dermatologist.

Reporting from the Skin Sense page, there are several good habits that you can apply daily so that the neck skin and chest area remain strong and young, including:

This is very important! Make sure you wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with the SPF every day to protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays that trigger premature aging. So, don't just face it, okay!

Serum, moisturizer, and your favorite anti-aging products? Don't stop at the jawline! Also apply these products to the neck and chest area. The skin there also needs the same nutrition.

Drinking enough water is not only good for the health of the body, but also for the skin. Sufficient fluid needs so that the skin remains smooth and moist from the inside.
