Why Your Neck Looks Older Than Your Face

By now, if you are 30 years or older, you have noticed you have more lines on your neck than on your face. Your observation is not a fluke; it is very real. Everybody’s neck looks older than their face. We do not have to spend much time establishing that fact. What we need to address is why your neck looks older than your face.

The reasons why your neck looks older than your face fall into two categories: The medical reasons and the cosmetic ones

Medical reasons

The blood supply to the skin on your neck is not as rich as that to your facial skin. Why is that important? Blood carries oxygen round the body, and the more blood circulates to a particular organ, the more oxygen that organ receives. The more oxygen there is anywhere, the healthier the organ.

You may have heard of oxidative stress. It not only affects your skin, but it is also often associated with cancers.

The second reason is also related to blood flow.  if the flow of blood to a part of the body is less than enough, toxins will build up in that part. 

So, you might find toxins build up faster on your neck skin than on your face.

Cosmetic Reasons 

We now come to the other class of reasons why your neck looks older than your face. While you may not be able to do much about the blood flow to your neck, the cosmetic reasons are those you can affect.

The main cosmetic reason your neck looks older than your face is that you buy fancy, super-expensive, highly-advertised face creams. Guess who pays the cost of advertisements. That’s right. You. Or, in this case, your neck skin.

If your facial cream is so expensive that you cannot afford to extend it to your neck, it is too expensive, period.

The second reason is the presence of chemicals in your face cream. If you apply your face cream to your neck, because of its lower blood flow, the effect of your cream’s chemical contents on your neck is far worse. 

In other words, you may be actively harming your neck skin. It is the reason those who love natural skin care products prefer them – no chemicals.

Our friends at Lovelier Shea Butter not only produce 100% natural creams for your skin, but also have a reasonable price point. 

In our view, it is a win-win situation. You get a natural and safe product that is not too expensive. That way, you can afford to use some of your Elifte Anti-Wrinkle Cream on your neck as well.
