Your Necks Best Personal Trainer
NEW! Neck Fit Contour Serum
Think about it, what gives away your age? Is it the face, is it the eyes,
is it the back of the hands? As much as these areas can indicate your age, the
truth mainly lies in the condition of the skin on the neck.
Facts about Ageing and the Neck
Why the neck you may ask? Well, let’s do an experiment so you can see
firsthand why the skin of the neck is prone to ageing. First, feel the skin on
your cheek, then move to the skin around your eyes, and now feel the skin on
your neck. Do you notice a difference? These areas all differ greatly in their thickness.
In fact, the neck skin is approximately half the thickness of the cheek skin. Consequently,
this delicate, thin skin is at risk of damage from sun, pollution and most
importantly neglect.
Neck Neglect
Ask yourself, do I give my neck the care it needs? Many skincare users
dote on the skin from the jaw, up the face, to the hairline. But the neck and
chest are either completely excluded or limited to leftover product from the
face. Over time, this neck neglect adds years to the perceived age of the skin.
New terminology: Tech Neck!
Not only can neck neglect age us, but there is a new term used by both
the professional skin and body industry and the medical community. And it’s
called Tech Neck. This modern-day condition comes from our prolonged use of electrical
devices. Become aware of your posture right now reading this blog – shoulders
slouched, chin tilted down. It’s this repetitive stress which affects not only the
neck muscles, but accelerates the formation of lines on the neck, adding even
more years to the perceived age of the skin.
Injectable Treatment Restrictions of the Neck
Many women and men seek injectables such as Botox or Fillers to address
signs of ageing on the face. However, the neck is subject to injectable treatment restrictions,
due to the biological features of the neck muscles. We need its full capability
for bodily functions such as swallowing, talking, expressions and even kissing!
Only small amounts of Injectables can be administered to the neck area, leaving
topically applied products the most viable option for treating the neck.
Introducing NEW Neck Fit Contour Serum
A first for Dermalogica: an innovative high-performance serum for the
neck which immediately tightens skin and firms over time. Introducing Neck Fit Contour
Serum…this dynamic treatment comes with next generation technology and is accompanied
by a unique roll-on massage applicator.
The immediate tightening effect of Neck Fit Contour Serum is due to the
Flex Lift Contour Technology which forms a weightless, invisible mesh over the
skin. When dry, it not only smoothes and tightens fine lines and reduces wrinkle
depth, but also forms a pollution shield, safeguarding the skin against
premature ageing.
Other Key Actives
- Rye Seed Extract, Novel
Palmitoyl Tripeptide 42 and Rambutan Extract – a potent
fusion of actives with Retinol-like results, which visibly smoothes, firms
and tones skin. - Resurrection Plant-Inspired
Polysaccharide – mimicking the drought resistant desert plant, it
acts as a powerful moisture magnet to plump and smooth, increasing
hydration of skin on the neck. - Griffona Seed – native to
West Africa, this highly resilient plant defends itself against UV induced
damage, providing highly potent antioxidant defence to the skin.
How to use Neck Fit Contour Serum
Neck Fit Contour Serum can be used daily, both AM and PM. Apply to the
neck and chest after cleansing and toning the skin. Simply remove cap, twist
applicator to the “ON” position. Tilt chin up and gently squeeze the tube to
dispense the serum, while rolling over the skin in long upward strokes, from
chest to jawline, moving from one side to the other. After rolling over
the neck and chest once, twist applicator to the “OFF” position so no more
serum is dispensed and continue to roll up and down to provide massage benefits
to the skin and muscles. Hold the pose with chin tilted up until the serum is
dry. Follow with your Dermalogica moisturiser and SPF in the daytime.
Our favourite daytime treatment to partner with the Neck Fit Contour
Serum is Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF50. This 2-in-1 moisturiser is packed with
peptides to firm skin, Hyaluronic Acid to plump, and antioxidants to defend, resulting
in heathy, radiant skin.
