How to Achieve a Natural Neck Lift?

 

Age has its repercussions on the human body; however, we may say that age is just a number, but it does impact the body. The neck in the human body shows signs of ageing. Fine lines and wrinkles on the neck, drooping jawline, and a double chin are some of the issues associated with ageing. Apart from ageing, even obesity can cause a double chin which disrupts the beauty of the neck.

Apart from ageing, sun exposure can also have multiple damaging impacts on the skin. It can age your skin, Your skin loses collagen with time and sun exposure only accelerates the process. You lose skin elasticity leading to sagging skin in the neck area.

Why does the neck sag?

A drooping neck is mostly caused by alterations in the platysma muscle, which covers the neck like a lining and connects to the shoulders and jaw. With age, the muscle thins and splits, allowing fatty tissues to creep forward allowing the neck to sag. The muscle's margins also draw up, highlighting the cords running down the sides of the neck.

There are cosmetic procedures for lifting the neck. But if you do not want to travel that path, then going natural is the best way. Though it is a great thought to accept your body as it is, you can achieve good results naturally too. So, why not think about a neck lift by adopting natural techniques? So, what are these natural techniques? A combination of exercises, a nutritious diet, skincare, and lifestyle changes can give amazing results and help you achieve a natural neck lift.

Exercises That Can Lift the Neck

1. The Chin Wave

Look straight ahead and tilt your chin slightly downward. Bring your chin over to your left shoulder. Continue to look in this direction while lifting your chin to the sky. Hold the position for five counts. Then repeat the same position on the right side.

2. Smiling Exercise

Engage your neck muscles, hold your lips softly together, and gradually begin to smile. Start with a slow smile extending it to a large grin engaging the muscles. Repeat five times.

3. Tongue Exercise

Tilt your head back slowly to stare at the ceiling while seated in a chair. The muscles beneath your chin will contract when you bring your tongue to the top of your mouth. Lower your chin to your chest while keeping your tongue up. Do 20 repetitions.

Skincare to Lift Your Neck

1. Dry Brushing

After cleansing and before moisturising, gently massage the skin on your face and neck with a small, soft natural bristle brush. This promotes lymph fluid circulation and drainage and helps to regenerate the skin's collagen layer. A facial roller, which is comparable to a tiny textured paint roller and stimulates the tissue in the same way as a dry brush does, is another alternative for creating a similar appearance.

2. Neck Massage

Oiling your skin with your favourite luscious greasy moisturiser is an excellent approach to combat dry skin problems that also impact the ageing of the neck. Nutritious oils like apricot kernel and almond are great for the skin. Tilt your head slightly to the left and back, then use your left hand's fingers to softly rub along the muscles on the right front of your neck.

Nutrition for a Natural Neck Lift

Citrus fruits, green tea, carrots, olive oil, onions, and kefir help to generate beautiful skin.
