Many people neglect skin care in their youth, but taking the right precautions and developing healthy habits from an early age are key to aging gracefully. The face and neck, in particular, are always exposed to the sun, and as such, are especially vulnerable to developing wrinkles and discoloration. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep your skin radiant now and for years to come.

3 Easy Skin Care Solutions

1. Use Sunscreen

People who live in warm-weather climates enjoy the sun and outdoors all year round. While most know to avoid the damaging UV rays when it’s hot and sunny, it’s just as important to stay protected on mild or overcast days, too. Choose sunscreen with a high SPF to avoid brown spots, mottled pigmentation, and the risk of skin cancer. 

2. Get a Face & Neck Massage

A professional face and neck massage rejuvenates your skin. Using pure oils, like olive or rose, hydrates your skin and gives it a healthy glow. A massage also increases the blood and oxygen flow to those areas, increasing the production of collagen, which makes your skin look youthful. As an added perk, it will also relax you and ease the stresses of your day.

3. Make a Face Mask

Face masks are great for hydrating and cleansing your skin. You can use the same treatments on your neck, too. A common solution usually involves a mix of ripe bananas, olive oil or egg whites, and honey to nourish the skin on your face and neck.
