JAKARTA - When using skincare every day, it is not uncommon for someone to only focus on the face and ignore the skin of the neck area. In fact, neck skin must also be given skincare because it is prone to sunlight and exposure to other things.

Quoted from Women's Health, the neck skin is thinner and smoother than other body skin parts. This makes it easy to experience wrinkles and sagging, especially if it is not treated properly.

The neck is thinner and smoother than in other areas of the body. With thinner dermis and fewer fat tissues below the surface, it makes it more prone to wrinkles and sagging," said dermatologist Marisa Garschik.

The oil glands in the neck kulti are also less than in the face area, which makes the neck skin more prone to drought. The neck muscles are also actively moving continuously which increases the risk of wrinkles.

We always have wrinkles on our necks, but now it becomes more prominent. Especially in the younger generation because everyone keeps using their cell phones," added dermatologist Alexandra Bowles.

Therefore, it is important to perform the same neck care as facial treatments. Starting from moisturizers and sunscreens must also be applied to the neck, so that the skin remains tight and does not loosen quickly.

You don't need to invest in separate neck creams. Just apply the same product as the one you use on your face to your neck, said Garschik.

Retinoids such as retinol serum are very good for the neck, because they can add collagen to the neck so that the neck skin gets tighter. However, in wearing it enough once or twice a week, because if it is excessive, it can cause dry and irritated skin.

Not only that, you can also use skin care specifically for neck skin. For further treatment, you can go to a beauty clinic to perform LED light therapy that can stimulate circulation, increase collagen, and tighten the skin.
