Neck Care = Skin Care

You may not realize, but our necks have oil glands that are subject to breakouts like our faces. Makeup debris alone can lead to breakouts and ‘dark neck’. Check out our steps for a perfect neck care routine!

You should be treating your neck to the same love and care you show your face. You may not realize, but our necks have oil glands that are subject to breakouts like our faces. Makeup debris alone can lead to breakouts and ‘dark neck’.

‘Dark neck’ is where debris from makeup, sweat, dirt and bacteria build up on your neck. This causes the skin on your neck to become a shade or two darker than the skin on your face.

Beyond that, did we mention that your neck skin is even thinner than your facial skin? That means you're more likely to deal with sagging skin and fine lines on your neck.

Our Tips For Proper Neck Care

Cleanse your Neck

As simple as this step may seem, cleansing with a gentle cleanser a few times a week is super important to prevent debris, dirt and bacteria build-up on your neck. Our creamy Aloe Milk Cleanser is gentle and effective, which makes for the perfect cleanser to keep the skin on your neck clean yet moisturized.

Exfoliate your Neck

Just like the skin on your face, dead skin cells on your neck will build up without a little gentle exfoliation. A simple way to add this into your skincare routine is by exfoliating your neck at the same time as your face (or even in the shower). Our Bamboo Charcoal Sponge is the perfect tool to use for a gentle exfoliation that is easy to use. Feels good too!

Moisturize your Neck

The skin on your neck needs moisturization just like your face does. Moisturizing your neck helps prevent dryness and flaking, and maintains healthy, nourished skin. Plus it's easy to bring your moisturizer down to your neck as you're applying it to your face. Likely, skin concerns you're targeting with your face moisturizer are the same concerns you have for your neck and will work well in that area, too.

One of my favourite moisturizers to use on the face and neck is Phyto Clear. It contains botanical retinol alternatives that help with improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as firms skin. Phyto Clear also includes protective ingredients like broccoli seed oil and chlorella that will shield your skin from future damage.

Protect your neck from the elements

It’s easy to forget sometimes that your neck will age too with sun and elemental exposure. It's important to care for your neck and protect it from the sun the same way you'd protect your face. Slather on that SPF and protect your skin from everyday pollutants and UVB rays!

 These 4 simple steps will make neck care just as simple as your face care ;)
