The Ultimate Beauty Guide

Most of us often fail to take proper care of our neck as the focus always stays on the face and hands. We even opt for expensive spa treatments for our back, shoulders and legs. Did you ever really notice that the neck is being left out in all these ‘indulgences’?

The result of this is sagging skin or fat deposition in the neck. A sagging skin in the neck region can look really bad. Fine lines can also start appearing if you fail to take care of your neck. Here we are providing 10 wonder beauty tips for the neck blackness.

Beauty Tips for Neck Care:

Tip 1: The direction of massage for the neck skin is a very important thing to remember because a nice massage in a wrong direction or with wrong movement over the neck skin can damage the skin. Neck skin is very thin and delicate. It is more delicate than the skin of your face. The proper direction to massage the skin of the neck is by moving both your palms from lower to upper region in vertical movements. Never massage your neck in circular motions or from top to bottom.


Tip 2: Oils help the neck skin to rejuvenate. Not just any oils though. You have to be careful when it comes to selecting the right kind of oil. Select those oils which are not extremely heavy.

Below some oils are mentioned which can be used for neck massage therapy in their pure form. Coconut oil is heavy oil but it can be used in very little amounts or you can mix it with a little water on your palm and then use it. Olive oil, sweet almond oil, chamomile oil, eucalyptus oil and rose oil are also good options.

Tip 3: Do not over massage you neck. A neck massage should last from 10-15 minutes maximum with a possible break of 1 or 2 minutes in between. Over massaging can strain the neck skin.

Tip 4: Masks also work wonders for the neck skin just like the skin of the face. Use fruit masks on the neck for best results. Fruits like apple, ripe banana, avocado and plums can work wonders for the neck skin.


Tip 5: A very important point to remember while using packs on the neck skin is never allow any type of pack other than fruit packs to get dry on the skin of the neck. Packs of clay, gram flour (besan), whole wheat flour (atta), or any other kinds of mud packs should never be left to dry and crack over the neck skin.

Tip 6: If you can get a spa treatment for your neck, then nothing better than that once in a while. Make sure that your body position while taking massage is correct. If you are taking a massage for relaxation purpose or to get rid of spondylosis pain, then a sitting position can be quite good; but if you are taking a spa polishing or smoothing treatment for the neck then the best position would be to lie flat on your back and take it.


Tip 7: Exfoliation of the neck skin is important too. Use only mild exfoliators for the skin of the neck. Use upward strokes only for exfoliating and do not extend the time more than 2 minutes to 5 minutes.

Tip 8: Apply face wash on the neck while taking a bath. Avoid harsh soaps on neck skin. Shower gels which are pH balanced are fine though.

Tip 9: Apply toner on the neck skin with a cotton ball when you use a toner for your face. Use sunscreen on to neck in same upwards strokes like usual. Keep a special Vitamin E enriched moisturizing skin cream for the neck. Apply cream or lotion in the same way with upward strokes with your palm.


Tip 10: This is a very important and parting point of this whole article. Remember to remove makeup from your neck while removing your face makeup. Neck’s skin is no different than the skin of the face. It also contains pores. Makeup blocks the pores and obstructs the skin of the neck to breathe properly. The result is dull and sagging skin. Next time, remove makeup from the neck skin too, with a cotton ball dipped in makeup remover with upwards strokes only.
