Age can turn your skin into a roadmap, revealing the beautiful journey of your life.
Dark spots from years spent outside, cheering from the sidelines; laugh lines from joyful time spent with family and friends; decades of late nights, study, hard work and, above all, the passage of time, eventually begin to manifest on your face, hands—and neck.
Then we wake up one day and there it all is, staring back at us in the mirror. The changes you might notice, like crepey, saggy skin or heavy lines, are natural and normal. But that doesn’t always make it easy to accept.
Luckily, your skin is resilient and strong. With just a few adjustments to your routine, your skin can rebound to look and feel softer, smoother and tighter.
1. Vitamin A in your skincare routine
If you have crepey skin, products containing vitamin A can help. Skin is “retinoid responsive,” which means it easily converts topical vitamin A to active forms of retinoid in your skin. Retinoids help stimulate collagen production, promote cell turnover, improve elasticity, even out discoloration and blunt the damage that occurs with aging.
During your evening routine, smooth a single pump of Boom Nectar®, our face and eye serum, on your neck. The vitamin A in this liquid moisturizer comes from organic plant ingredients, including hemp seed and rosehip oils, to revitalize your skin without damaging or drying it out.
2. Moisturizer for maximum hydration
Layering a liquid moisturizer under an occlusive barrier provides deep hydration that plumps the skin, reduces the appearance of lines and protects against further moisture loss.
First, apply Boom Gold™, our lightweight facial oil. It’s made with sandalwood, frankincense and seven other organic botanical oils brimming with vitamins and minerals to support collagen production and gentle hydration.
Then top it with Boomsilk® with organic beeswax to create a breathable barrier that keeps moisture in your skin for long-lasting softness.
3. Sunscreen to protect your skin
Your neck is exposed to nearly as much sunlight as your face, but most of us skip it when using sunscreen. Apply sunscreen to your neck whenever you’re in the sun to reduce UV damage, leading to destroyed collagen, dark spots and lines.
4. Neck exercises to encourage tighter skin
Exercises involving the face, chin and neck can help tighten the skin on your neck to reduce sagginess and improve elasticity.
Try this easy one:
Raise your chin and look up towards the ceiling. Then, make an exaggerated kissing sound and motion. Repeat this ten times a couple of times a week.
5. Apply products upwards (never downwards) to reduce sagging skin.
Gravity is constantly pulling on your skin—it doesn’t need help. After you exfoliate, apply sunscreen or moisturize your neck, work upwards to reduce sagging skin. Start at the chest or base of your neck and smooth products up to your chin.
6. A facial roller to boost lymphatic drainage
A gua sha tool or facial roller can help drain puffiness and stimulate circulation and collagen production in your neck.
First, apply a lightweight oil, like Boom Gold, to help your tool glide more easily across the skin.
Then, place the edge of a gua sha stone or facial roller perpendicular to the skin at the base of your neck and gently stroke upwards to the chin, working against gravity. Repeat this gentle motion 5 to 10 times daily to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Following these tips will help make your neck softer, smoother, and tighter so you can embrace every part of your skin.
