Good question! We created this product primarily because the skin on your neck behaves differently from the skin on your face. So, we wanted to ensure we deliver a product that is specifically designed for these skin concerns. Ever wondered why the skin on your neck feels or behaves differently to the face? This is due to a few factors:
1. Thinner, More Delicate Skin: The skin on your neck is naturally thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dryness, fine lines, and crepey texture. Without as much natural moisture, it can feel less supple than the face, and may show the visible signs of aging sooner.
2. Constant Sun Exposure: Unlike the face, which gets plenty of SPF love, the neck is frequently exposed to the sun but often forgotten when it comes to sunscreen. UV rays can contribute to the appearance of sagging, fine lines, and uneven skin tone over time. According to the TGA, the recommended amount of sunscreen for your face, neck, and ears is 2.5ml of sunscreen (1/2 teaspoon).
3. Frequent Movement: The neck is constantly moving - think looking down at screens, turning side to side - which can contribute to the appearance of horizontal lines over time..
4. Less Collagen Support: The skin on the neck has less collagen and fat than the face, meaning it can look less firm over time, with fine lines becoming more visible as skin matures.
5. Skincare Neglect: The neck is often neglected in skincare routines compared to the face, meaning it doesn’t always get the same level of hydration, SPF, and anti-aging ingredients as the face.
