Since the summer months have passed, the evidence of sun
damage to the neck may be popping up.
Fine lines and wrinkles will appear along
these areas and that’s something every woman wants to avoid. With the holiday
parties and gatherings in the not too distant future, many may need to hydrate
and nourish these areas to look extra special in their festive couture.
Anyhow, treating these zones should still be part of a daily
anti-aging skin care routine. If that hasn’t been the case, then it’s time to
get started because it needs “TLC” attention.
The reason why the neck and chest are delicate is that there
is a limited amount of sebaceous glands, melanocytes and lipids. This leads to
thinner skin and its structure is defenseless to the sun. And that means a
sagging neck and lines on the chest.
There are some wonderful products, however, to return the
skin to a more youthful state.
Anti-Aging
Technology: As some may already know, LED light therapy has been available
in clinical offices, but now, it can be done at home. But before making a purchase,
be sure to double check that the product is FDA cleared. The cost of a quality
product runs about $300 so do some homework in choosing the right one. And buy
a device that’s gentle enough to use every day and can be applied on the face,
neck, chest, hands, and more.
Locate one which offers red, amber and infrared LED lights. Each
light has its own way of promoting collagen and elastin; they all work together
to reveal more beautiful skin.
Users of LED light therapy have seen so many benefits such
as:
- Firms slack areas
- Helps treat sun overexposure to the skin
- Hydrates and softens skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Promotes even skin tone
- Treats hyper pigmentation

Creams and Serums:
As far as topical treatments, they must be used as directed otherwise skin will
return back to its original state. Look for a topical that encourages collagen,
replenishes elasticity, and lessens signs of sun damaged skin including hyperpigmentation.
While shopping around, find a treatment which addresses
skin lightening for
those freckles and age spots while the other ingredients offer maximum
anti-aging properties to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Other tips to stimulate more lovely skin in these delicate
zones are:
- Use a non-soap facial cleanser
- Don’t forget to apply daily sunscreen even on overcast
days
- Always use a moisturizer
