Are Neck and Chest creams necessary?
A woman's neck often gives away her true age, even if she has been extremely conscientious about taking care of
her facial skin. Aside from all the sun damage the neck gets (we tend to forget to use sunscreen there) the
neck is in fairly constant motion (moving every time you turn your head, swallow, or speak), and such movement
eventually generates deep lines, much as movement of the forehead can do. Many people do not apply sunscreen as
carefully or thoroughly to the neck, chest, and upper shoulder as they should. It, too, requires careful,
liberal application of a good quality sunscreen.
You may find that your facial moisturizer is adequate for your neck area. However, we believe that there are
several good reasons why using a cream specifically designed for the neck and chest area makes sense.
The sensitive skin on your neck, decollete and throat may be irritated by some of the ingredients in your facial
moisturizers. Products designed for acne may not be appropriate for this delicate area.
Reflections’ Choice offers a fabulous firming cream specifically for this area. Ultra Marine Neck and Chest
lifts and tightens the neck and decollete area with innovative laboratory produced peptides and advanced skin
hydrators. This state-of-the-art lifting enhancement creme also contains antioxidants and botanicals that help
strengthen skin's elasticity to firm crepey skin while promoting smoother and healthier skin in the neck and
chest area. We suggest that you experiment to find if you need a special moisturizer for this area.
In addition, AHA and BHA peels may be performed on the neck, and discolorations may be treated with
skin-lightening products containing 2% hydroquinone (higher concentrations are available by prescription only).
Eventually, however, gravity will take a toll beyond the reach of the products we offer, causing neck skin and
the platysma muscle to sag, and facial fat to creep down into your neck or under your chin. At that point, you
might consider cosmetic surgery, including a neck lift, which serves to remove excess skin and fat while
repositioning the platysma muscle. Liposuction is a less invasive but still an effective option to deal with
the beginnings of a sagging neck or jaw line. However,
with any luck, and depending on the rate at which your skin ages and your diligence about using sunscreen, the
need for such procedures may be many years away.
