The daily routine for skin care on our face can also be applied to the neck area. However you may want to consider a cream rich in moisture neck and cleavage area, also known as the V zone, has very few glands to produce the natural oil as the face does. The general principles for a good skin care regimen for the neck and the face are to cleanse tone and moisturize. Additionally a gentle exfoliate once a week should be in your skin care routine.
Furthermore, just as you protect your face from harmful UV rays you should also be applying sun screen to the neck and decollet area. Because the skin in the V zone is so thin, UV rays play havoc on the skin in this area causing unsightly brown spots. Your daily moisturizer should contain at least a SPF of 15 to prevent sun damage to the face, neck and d?collet?.
So throw away the turtle necks and scarves and treat your neck and decollet with these simple homemade skin care recipes.
