Beauty Tips for Necks

Beauty tips for necks can help to maintain the youth and beauty of your neck. Although the neck area is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, it is often neglected. In addition to regular exercise and good posture, apply sunscreen to your neck when you venture outdoors. Wash your neck daily because pollution, dust and sweat collect on your skin. Use cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers and masks made from inexpensive products to care for your neck.

1. Cleansers

   • Pound three strawberries to a paste and blend it with milk. Take advantage of the rich amount of antioxidants in strawberries to create this homemade cleanser. Apply the cleanser to your neck and rinse with warm water to help tighten the skin. Extract the juice from some raspberries, a source of vitamin C, and stir in 2 tsp. of cucumber juice and 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar. Apply this toner after cleansing to enhance the texture of your neck. Cleanse your neck with rose water if you're in a rush, and also use rose water to wipe your face and neck when outdoors. Use milk, or even add rose water to milk, to make another effective cleanser for your neck.

   Exfoliants

   • Blend lemon juice, turmeric powder and salt into a smooth paste. Apply this mixture to your neck, and gently rub the salt-based paste to remove dead cells. Sprinkle fresh cream with a dash of sugar and tea to create another exfoliant. Scrub your neck with the mixture for about two minutes, and then wash it off. Apply moisturizer after exfoliating to prevent premature aging.

   Moisturizers

   • Use cream as a moisturizer to rejuvenate your neck. Extract juice from cucumbers and mix with tomato juice and cream. Apply this mixture to your neck for about 15 minutes, and then rinse off. Use bananas to create a moisturizing mask that outperforms expensive neck wrinkle creams. Mash one ripe banana in a bowl. Add 2 tsp. of flax seed oil and five drops of rose water. Apply the paste to your neck for 20 minutes, and then rinse off with water. While the banana tightens your neck, the flax seed oil contains omega-3 fatty acids that nourish your skin.

   Massage

   • Massage your neck with olive, almond or coconut oil to nourish the skin. Use cold cream if you don't have one of these oils on hand. Lay your head down on a low pillow so your body is almost perfectly horizontal. Use light finger pressure and massage your neck in a soothing upward motion to activate your lymphatic glands as well as remove dead skin cells. Take deep breaths while performing your neck massage.

   Posture

   • Practice correct posture, keeping your neck in an upright position. Strengthen your carriage by balancing a book on top of your head while standing against a wall. Move away from the wall, and try and walk without dropping the book. Avoid unnecessary neck strain by using the appropriate parts of your body to lift or push objects. Do neck stretches and exercises throughout the day to keep the muscles in your neck firm and flexible.
