It is said that hand is a woman's second face, so women tend to love their hands. But in fact, the neck is as important to a woman as the hand, because the neck is the easiest to reveal a woman's real age. Even if she wears exquisite makeup, she still can't hide the "annual rings" of the neck. If you don't pay enough attention to your neck and don't do effective maintenance in time, don't blame it for revealing your age secret. It may even make you look older than your actual age. So, how to maintain your neck? Let's listen to the advice of cosmetic medicine experts-

Neck lines reveal the secret of your age.

People often say "a man with a neckline at the age of five", which is vivid but not unreasonable. At ordinary times, we can see that many elderly stars are still blushing after maintenance, but often a neckline reveals their true age.

Ma Changhua, deputy director of the Plastic Surgery Center of the Armed Police Shanghai Corps Hospital, said that with the increase of age, the content and arrangement of collagen fibers in the skin itself have changed, resulting in delicate skin. In addition, ultraviolet rays, long-term bowing and irregular work and rest will accelerate the aging of neck skin, resulting in poor skin quality, loose skin, pimples and other problems. When the naked eye sees signs of aging in the neck skin, it is already too late.

Neck lines can be divided into dry lines and expression lines.

Experts say that the neck lines of the human body can be roughly divided into horizontal lines and vertical lines. The horizontal stripes are mostly related to the posture of leaning forward or the pillow is too high when sleeping. Especially sedentary office workers, due to lack of exercise, weight gain and other factors, horizontal stripes will appear early. With the increase of age, the horizontal stripes will get deeper and deeper. With the increase of age, vertical stripes will appear, mostly along the lines of muscles. Especially the elderly, or very thin people, because of the reduction of subcutaneous fat, it is easy to appear a few vertical stripes on the front and neck, which affects the appearance. Moreover, this vertical pattern is also called "turkey neck" in medicine because it is similar to the neck pattern of turkey.

However, both horizontal lines and vertical lines can be divided into two categories: dry lines and expression lines. The so-called "dry lines" are mainly formed because the collagen in the skin is gradually lost due to sun exposure and aging, so that the water in the cells cannot be retained; "Emblem" is caused by small actions in our daily life, such as working with our heads down, hanging a telephone receiver around our neck, sleeping with a pillow too high, and so on. And spinal muscles and fat will wrinkle easily over time, gradually forming expression lines.

5 strokes a day to protect your neck

Zhou Qun, an associate professor in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Beauty Teaching and Research at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that in order to keep the neck skin young, some small details in life should not be ignored.

1. Sun protection. The neck skin should also be protected from the sun like the face. Sunlight will accelerate the aging of the neck skin, make the skin quality worse, produce spots and wrinkles, and the sunscreen work of the neck is generally not in place, which needs to be paid attention to. When applying sunscreen to the face, the sunscreen work should also be done in the neck in the same detail.

2. Moisturize. There are few sebaceous glands in the neck, which makes the skin dry easily. Like the face, the moisturizing and skin care work of the neck should be carried out in an orderly manner. There are also skin creams specially for the neck on the market. In fact, facial essence can also be used to improve the firmness of neck skin. In addition, you can also try to use natural olive oil or avocado oil and apply it directly on your neck to lock dry skin.

3. Massage before going to bed. It is also important to stimulate the production of collagen by massage after applying essence cream to the neck. Experts suggest that neck-necking massage can be performed 5 times 10 minutes before going to bed every night.

The massage method is as follows:

Step 1: Take a proper amount of cream, neck cream or massage cream and gently push it away from the bottom to the ear root;

Step 2: Raise your head slightly, push up from the collarbone with your fingers, and do 10 times with your left and right hands;

Step 3: Push the neckline with your thumb and forefinger, and do it 15 times when pushing up. Step 4: Put the index finger and middle finger of both hands on the lymph position below the cheekbones and press for about 1 min to promote lymphatic circulation and play a role in detoxification.

4. The neck moves autonomously. Neck muscle recession, it is easy to make the neck skin slack, resulting in neck lines, so we should pay attention to sitting posture, sit up straight, and do appropriate neck exercises in leisure, so as to promote the contraction of neck muscle groups and prevent neck lines from deepening. For example, after sitting up straight, slowly lift your chin, stretch your neck muscles for 5 seconds, then slowly return to your original posture and repeat stretching 5 times a day.

5. Choose a pillow that suits the curvature of the neck. Sometimes bad skin is caused by environment and habits, such as wrinkles on the neck, which is probably related to the pillow that sleeps every day. Using a pillow that is too high is prone to wrinkles. Experts suggest choosing suitable bedding. The most suitable height of the pillow should be about 8 cm, and it should be placed in the depression of the neck. At the same time, be careful not to curl up and sleep on your side for a long time, so as to prevent double chins and wrinkles due to the high pillow, and dullness and pigmentation due to poor blood circulation in the neck due to poor sleeping posture. It is best to sleep on your back. When using the computer, pay attention to keep the head parallel to the computer, and rotate the head counterclockwise every 1 hour to relax the skin and nerves in the neck and prevent wrinkles from accumulating in the neck.

If you seriously affect your appearance, you can consider plastic surgery.

Usually, women begin to age at the age of 25 and lose collagen, but by the age of 40, they can obviously see loose, rough, wrinkled, rough, dull and mottled skin. Experts say that most skin care plays a role in delaying aging. In order to achieve the effect of "reverse growth", corresponding cosmetic surgery is needed.

For example, if the neck skin relaxation is not serious, it is generally recommended to carry out laser rejuvenation treatment first, which can promote the proliferation of collagen, and with proper care, the skin can quickly return to a young state. It is suggested that 1 time laser treatment can be performed every year for 35-40 years old, 1 time every year for 40-50 years old and multiple times every year for people over 60 years old. Experts said that laser treatment should not be too frequent, and the parameters and times of its use should be decided by professional doctors.

In addition, if the neck lines are too deep, hyaluronic acid injection can also be considered, but because the neck skin is too thin, it can only be used as an auxiliary treatment.

Neck cleaning should not be sloppy every day.

For elderly women, if the neck lines are too many and too deep, it is easy to "shelter evil people from evil." So every time I look in the mirror, I feel that there is some neck scale on my neck. In fact, it is the evil result of not exfoliating for a long time. Therefore, daily neck cleaning should not be sloppy.

Associate Professor Zhou Qun said that the neck skin is thinner and more fragile than the face, so women must choose mild cleaning products when cleaning the neck. "If you are used to washing your neck with shower gel and soap when taking a bath, stop it quickly, because it will only make your neck skin drier and accelerate the aging of your neck skin. The correct way to clean the neck should be to gently massage the neck skin with mild cleanser and then rinse it with warm water. " At the same time, the neck should be exfoliated 1 2 times a week. It should be noted that when using scrub exfoliating products, you should choose products with smaller particles, otherwise it will easily hurt the fragile skin of the neck. Of course, if conditions permit, applying "cervical membrane" before going to bed can also help to remove wrinkles in the neck. The essence in the tunica cervicalis can penetrate into the bottom of the skin, achieving the functions of moisturizing, soothing and anti-wrinkle. However, it should be noted that the neck skin is soft, so you must not use the torn neck membrane, otherwise the skin will be pulled more loosely.
