JAKARTA - You have done various treatments to keep your facial skin youthful. Complete skincare products are used every day, from serums to the latest moisturizers. But how much treatment has been done for the neck area?

Yup, the neck area is often forgotten in beauty care rituals. Do not let the youthful skin of the face and neck look unbalanced. While it's not too late, let's start treating the neck area as special as the facial skin.

Horizontal lines that often appear on the neck are normal, but several factors can make them appear more pronounced. One thing that is often experienced by today's generation is the "tech-neck", which is an expression line on the neck that appears or becomes deeper due to keeping your head down for too long when viewing social media on your smartphone. Oops! Do you do this every day? If so, try changing positions while playing with your phone by lifting it at eye level so you don't have to look down.

Another factor that causes the neck area to age faster is a lack of maintenance and not getting enough protection against daily external aggressions such as sunlight, free radicals, and pollution.

Start applying and sunscreen until it covers the entire neck area. Like the skin around the eyes, the skin on the neck also tends to be thinner and more sensitive. Therefore, choose a moisturizer with a gentler formula to be applied to the neck area to avoid redness or stinging itching. Face oil or body oil made from natural ingredients can also be a brilliant solution.

If the neck is starting to show signs of aging, try treatment at a trusted beauty clinic. For the neck area that has started to sag, you should do Ultherapy treatment, a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of new collagen so that the skin will be firmer and softer again.
