The skin of the neck and décolletage is thinner and more vulnerable to the ravages of ageing. The skin of the neck also has a different collagen content than that of the face. As we age, we tend to focus on the skin of the face and neglect this delicate area. The neck is in fact particularly vulnerable to environmental damage, being one of the most UV-exposed parts of the body. My top 4 tips for treating the neck at home are as follows:
Extend your moisturiser
Extend your daily and evening treatment moisturiser to your neck. Products like Synergie Skin Elastense have peptide ingredients designed to firm and promote collagen production.
Skincare routine
Cleanse daily and apply skin serums, particularly Vitamin A retinol (Synergie Skin Ultimate A), Vitamin B niacinamide (Synergie Skin Vitamin B) and Vitamin C L-ascorbic acid (Synergie Skin SupremaC+ or Pure-C crystals). These cosmeceuticals are essential for maintaining ageing skin. At Synergie Skin, your long-term skin health is our priority and our skincare range combine active ingredients to create a biological and visible change to the skin. Offering some of the best face serums for dry skin and pigmentation, our mission is to enhance skin clarity and luminosity to give the skin and your confidence a healthy boost. Don't forget your neck! Never neglect your neck area when applying your daily sun protection or UV protective mineral makeup. Mineral sun protection using zinc oxide is preferable over chemical sunscreens.
Sleep with the right pillow
Do not sleep with your head elevated on high pillows as this can contribute to the appearance of a slack jawline. Improve skin firmness and fight the signs of ageing with a range of high-performance formulas from Synergie Skin. Through the ultimate blend of anti-ageing active ingredients and innovative scientific technology, founder and cosmetic chemist Terri Vinson has created a brigade of age management products to combat visible ageing from the inside out. Designed to tighten and hydrate the skin, there’s a science behind every individual ingredient in each formula. Using hero ingredients and topical vitamins such as Ultimate A, Vitamin B and SupremaC+, you’re guaranteed visible results with this highly active skincare routine. Promote collagen synthesis, deeply hydrate the skin layers, improve damage to collagen and elastin, and revive dull and lacklustre skin with three of the best anti ageing serums in our Daily Delivery System value pack. This pack also included a biocompatible micro-needle roller designed to enhance the penetration of your serums as you apply them to the skin.
