It has long been noted that a woman’s age can reveal the condition of the skin on her hands and neck. And if everything cosmetic procedures We perform facial treatments regularly, but we remember that our neck and décolleté area need the same attention only when elasticity decreases and transverse wrinkles appear.
To prevent the neck from showing our age, it is necessary to care for it just as carefully as for the skin of the face: regular cleansing and toning, moisturizing and nutrition, massage, masks and gymnastics will help keep it smooth and young.
After all, the skin of the neck loses elasticity much faster - this is due to the increased load on the muscles, and the fact that very often our work involves keeping our heads down for a long time. As a rule, it is more prone to dryness than the skin of the face, more delicate and vulnerable - when excited, it is the first to become covered with red spots. Therefore, it needs careful care after 35 years, just like the décolleté area.
First of all, you need to monitor your posture and get used to controlling the position of your shoulders and head, throwing your shoulders back, straightening chest for deeper breathing. When the head is often lowered, the neck muscles gradually lose their elasticity, wrinkles appear, and the chin becomes flabby. In addition, a woman with an athletic posture always looks younger.
Can lead to deterioration of skin condition bad habits: sudden movements of the head, sleeping on a high pillow, which leads not only to deepening of transverse wrinkles, but also to the appearance of a double chin, unnecessary movements - tilting and turning the head, the habit of walking with the head down.
Basic rules of care.
Rule 1.
Conduct daily cleansing neck and décolleté as thoroughly as you cleanse your face. Cleansed skin rests and recovers more effectively during sleep, absorbs everything faster useful material from night cream or masks.
Rule 2.
To maintain elasticity, choose the right care products: special and nourishing creams. The fact is that the condition and type of skin on the neck may differ from the type of skin on the face. All high-quality cosmetics series now produce special care products for the décolleté and neck area. If your face is dry, you can use your usual cosmetics and regular masks and massage. If your facial skin is of normal type, then special creams can be used 1-2 times a week. And it is necessary to use care products for the neck area if the face is fatty type and you are using .
Rule 3.
To keep the neck skin elastic, special gymnastics have been developed, which is recommended to be performed in the same 10-day courses as this. This will help not only restore elasticity, but also correct the oval of the face. But it is advisable to perform 2-3 movements every morning.
Rule 4.
In order for creams and masks to have the greatest effect, it is recommended to apply light pinches along the neck, over the entire surface, without affecting the area where the thyroid gland is located. This micromassage will improve blood circulation, and all nutrients will be absorbed faster.
Rule 5.
Masks for the neck and décolleté area, if you prefer “homemade” cosmetics, must be prepared from fresh vegetables and fruits containing biologically active substances and fruit acids: juices of orange and lemon, grapefruit and apple, kiwi and bananas, strawberries and apricots, potatoes containing starch, tomatoes, the juice of which has a nutritious and slight whitening effect.
Rule 6.
If appeared double chin or the skin under the chin has lost its elasticity, a simple procedure performed in the morning will help restore it and the oval of the face. Soak the middle of a terry towel in cold salted water. Using stretching movements, apply a few pats under the chin, 10-20.
Wet the towel again and apply it to the décolleté and then to the neck, holding each position for 2-3 seconds, from the chest to the chin. Then you can moisten your face with a decoction of herbs or wipe with an ice cube. Make a few light patting movements with your fingertips - a small vibration massage and the moisture will be absorbed faster. After 10-15 minutes, you can apply daytime cosmetics.
Oil compress and contrast procedures.
After 35, for prevention age-related changes, it is recommended at least once a month, in a 12-day course, to carry out procedures in the evening oil wrap, which alternate every other day with contrasting compresses.
Almond and apricot oils have an excellent effect in pure form, jojoba oil mixed with base oil.
The skin of the neck must first be thoroughly cleaned and warmed with a compress: moisten a terry cloth in warm, but not hot water with the addition of 1 tsp. sea salt per liter of water. Apply for a couple of minutes to feel that the skin has become more flexible and warm.
Then, using a cosmetic disc or a wide soft brush, apply the oil to the neck area, including the area under the chin and décolleté. Place a rectangular piece of soft polyethylene or tracing paper on top. Straighten thoroughly so that there are no wrinkles. Secure the compress with a wide bandage or scarf.
Since it is advisable to lie down for 20-30 minutes so that the muscles are completely relaxed, you can prepare it for your face and cover your eyelids with cosmetic pads dipped in chamomile or green tea.
Blot the remaining oil with discs, rinse off all masks with warm water and finish by rinsing with cold water with added salt or lemon juice. Then wipe your face with an ice cube made from an infusion of rosemary, linden or sage, depending on your skin type. Allow any remaining moisture to be absorbed by applying a light finger “shower” and patting the chin area with the back of your hand.
Grasp the neck area with your hand and, using light pressing movements, lift it from the collarbones to the chin, first on one side, then on the other. After this, press your palms just above your chest and with the same pressing movements, maybe a little circular, moving the skin a little, not your hand, lightly massage the décolleté area. Finish with stroking movements from the chest to the chin. Straighten your shoulders, tilt your head back a little. Let this become habitual for you.
Contrast compresses also help restore the elasticity of the neck and décolleté area, as well as the face. You will need 2 containers: with moderately hot water and cold, 2 linen or terry napkins. Start with a hot compress and end with a cold one. A hot compress is applied for 1-2 minutes, and a cold compress for 20-30 seconds. After compresses, apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream.

Masks for nourishing and moisturizing the skin of the neck.
Basically you can use recipes nourishing masks for the face, for dry and normal skin. Therefore, I will give only 3 recipes, the most effective for nourishing and moisturizing the neck and décolleté area.
Oatmeal mask.
You can steam 1 tbsp. oat flour 2 tbsp. water or milk, or rosemary infusion. Add 3 drops of almond, apricot oil and wheat germ or grape seed oils, in tbsp. olive oil cold pressed. Mix everything thoroughly and add tsp. citrus juice. Apply the warm mixture for 15-20 minutes.
Honey and curd mask.
Grind tbsp. cottage cheese with tsp. sour cream, add 5 drops of any aromatic oil from the previous recipe, tsp. honey and a few drops of lemon juice, which not only contains vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that slows down the aging process, but also brightens the skin, restoring its elasticity and matteness.
Baked apple mask.
If you prepare baked apples with honey for your family at least once a week, you will get a 2 in 1 effect: a delicious vitamin dessert rich in nutrients and pectins, and for yourself an effective anti-wrinkle mask.
Core the apple and fill it with honey. You can add raisins and chopped walnuts to the remaining apples. Bake for only 15-20, until half cooked and leave for 10 minutes in the cooling oven.
Mash the pulp soaked in honey, add citrus juice and a few drops of aromatic oils. Apply the mask for 20-30 minutes. After such a mask, the skin becomes not only more elastic, but also smooth, almost silky.
I also recommend masks made from potatoes boiled in milk: mix mashed potatoes with sour cream or butter, or from semolina porridge with butter and a few drops carrot juice. This mask will give you a light tan in the spring. But a large number of juice may cause a yellow tint to appear for a while, so start experimenting with 3-4 drops.

The age of thirty is considered a period of prosperity female beauty. But this statement is relevant only for those girls who have learned to properly care for themselves. The aging process of the body starts at the age of 25. From this point on, maintaining a blooming appearance requires some effort. Let's figure out what it should be like perfect care for facial skin after 30 years.
Properties of covers
After 30 years, there is no drastic change in the condition of the skin, but processes begin to occur in the body that, years later, lead to the appearance of wrinkles and deterioration of skin color. The main ones:
- slowing down metabolism;
- decreased rate of microcirculation of blood and lymph in the skin;
- thinning of the lipid mantle;
- decreased sebum secretion;
- weakening of muscle tone and dermis;
- slowdown in collagen production;
- inhibition of regeneration;
- acceleration of moisture loss by cells.
The consequence of these processes is the appearance of the first signs of aging, which include “ crow's feet", swelling and shadows under the eyes, nasolabial folds, sallow skin tone and so on. These imperfections are especially noticeable after sleepless nights, physical and emotional overload. Helps delay skin aging daily care behind you.
Cleansing
Facial care after 30 years includes standard stages: cleansing, toning, nutrition and moisturizing. In this case, it is necessary to use suitable cosmetics. Most companies produce special product lines by age.
It is advisable not to use soap to cleanse the skin. It is better to remove makeup with milk or cream, and then wash with gel, foam or mousse. It is ideal to use mineral or purified water rather than tap water. You need to wash your face twice a day.
The cleanser should be selected according to your skin type: for combination skin and those prone to oiliness, light foams with a neutral pH and antibacterial ingredients are suitable; for dry skin, emulsions with nourishing oils are suitable.
Toning
After washing your face, pat dry with a towel and wipe with tonic. It will help narrow pores, relieve irritation and disinfect the skin. Medicines containing alcohol should be avoided. It’s good if the tonic contains extracts of medicinal plants and a small amount of acids This product can be replaced with mineral water.
Peeling
From the age of 30, it is important to regularly carry out deep cleansing of the skin at home, that is, peeling or scrubbing. If the skin is oily or combination, the optimal frequency of the procedure is once a week, normal - every 2 weeks, dry - every 3-4 weeks. Thanks to peeling, the keratinized layer of the epidermis is removed, thereby improving cell nutrition and accelerating their regeneration. Neglect deep cleansing leads to the fact that the integument looks coarse and heterogeneous in structure.
For scrubbing, you can use both ready-made and homemade products. It is very important that their particles are small and not sharp. There are two types of preparations: with natural and chemical abrasives. The first includes products with pieces of fruit seeds and minerals, the second includes peelings based on synthetic substances, they act more carefully.
Making a scrub at home
The scrub is easy to make at home. Here are some recipes:
- For oily and combination skin. Combine a tablespoon of steamed oatmeal and sour cream;
- From peeling. Mix one tablespoon at a time coffee grounds and banana puree, add a few drops of tangerine and orange esters;
- For dry skin. Combine two teaspoons of oatmeal, aloe and lemon juice, add one small spoon of sugar and mineral water;
- The compositions are applied to a clean, damp face, then a light massage is performed for 2 minutes, after which you need to wash.
Moisturizing, nourishing and protecting
Girls over 30 need to use two types of creams: day and night. In the warm season, you should apply a moisturizer in the mornings, a nourishing one in the evenings, and vice versa in the cold.
Mandatory components of daytime cosmetics are filters that protect against ultraviolet radiation. The sun's rays activate the work of oxidants - aggressive forms oxygen, which accelerate the aging process. The night cream formula should include retinoids (forms of vitamin A), which stimulate regeneration processes in the skin.
Other important ingredients after 30 years:
- vitamins E, C, F – substances that protect against oxidants and relieve irritation;
- phytoestrogens are natural analogues of hormones that prolong youth; they are found in hop cones, soybeans, and legumes;
- collagen of plant or synthetic origin, as well as components that activate its production;
- beeswax, which forms a thin protective film on the skin;
- hyaluronic acid– a substance responsible for moisture and tone of the skin.
If you want to quickly improve your skin condition at home, it is better to use serums - products with a high concentration of biological substances.
They should be applied to clean surfaces until the cream is applied. It is best to use serums in courses twice a year.
An important step in self-care is applying the product to the area under the eyes. This area should not be treated with face cream. Eyelid gel should have a light texture and also have a moisturizing, tightening and toning effect. It's good if it contains vitamin C and caffeine.
Masks
- Home care involves applying face masks 2 times a week. Compositions should be selected based on skin problems.
- Nourishing compress. In 100 g of olive oil add 1 small spoon of chamomile, 1 large spoon of rowan juice and honey. Heat the mixture (in a bathhouse), dip gauze into it and apply for half an hour.
- Anti-wrinkle mask. Grate 1 carrot, add 1 small spoon of starch and olive oil, 1 protein to the mixture. Apply for 15-20 minutes. Cleansing composition for oily skin . Pour a large spoonful of white clay green tea
- until you get a thick paste, add 1 small spoon of honey. Steam your face and apply the mask for a third of an hour.
Moisturizer for dry skin. Turn one banana into pulp, add 0.5 small spoon of starch and 1 teaspoon of cream. Keep on your face for a third of an hour. At combination skin
Cleansing compounds should be applied to oily areas, and nourishing compounds should be applied to dry areas.
The phrase that the neck reveals one’s true age is one hundred percent true, especially if the girl does not take care of it. Let's figure out how to take care of your neck after 30. The daily ritual consists of the same steps as maintaining facial beauty:
- Cleansing. Before showering or washing, the neck skin should be wiped with cosmetic milk or regular kefir. Then you need to apply a face wash or gel with a neutral pH to the skin and rinse it well with water;
- Toning. Cosmetologists advise wiping your neck and face with one tonic;
- Nutrition and hydration. Special creams are produced for neck care, but if it is not possible to purchase them, the skin can be lubricated with ordinary nourishing facial products. They should contain oils (macadamia, avocado, almond), collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins E, F and other valuable components. It is recommended to apply the cream in a thick layer, and after 15 minutes remove excess cream with a napkin.
Massage
From 30 onwards, neck care is impossible without a light massage. It should be done every day at the same time as applying the cream: take the product onto your fingers and rub it lightly, and then make massage movements.
Basic techniques:
- Swipe 3-5 times on both sides from the shoulder to the earlobe;
- Grasp right hand the left surface of the neck and apply light pressure, moving from the collarbones to the chin. Repeat for the other side. You cannot put pressure on the thyroid gland;
- Put back sides palms under the chin and move towards the ears, making patting movements. You should do about 50 claps;
- Stroke the neck 3-5 times from bottom to top.
Twice a week, when caring for your neck, you should apply masks. A product made from yolk, 1 large spoon of honey and 1 large spoon of olive oil has a good nutritional and tightening effect. Keep the mask on for a quarter of an hour.
Salon treatments
After 30 special meaning acquires professional care for the skin. It is advisable to visit a cosmetologist, whose task is to individually select cosmetic techniques and give advice on choosing medications.
The most useful procedures:
- Lymphatic drainage massage – manual or hardware manipulations aimed at improving microcirculation of blood and lymph;
- Surface chemical peeling– removal of “dead” epidermal cells using acids – glycolic, lactic, salicylic and others;
- Mesotherapy is the injection of drugs under the skin, the formula of which includes hyaluronic acid, vitamins, collagen and other substances.
Proper self-care after 30 allows you to prolong the youth of your skin. It is important to regularly carry out basic procedures at home, and also visit a beauty salon if possible. But maintaining beauty only through cosmetics will not work. At this age, proper rest and healthy eating are key.

Smooth tilts of the head to the left, right, forward, backward 16 times (do not make sudden or circular movements, maximum semicircle from left to right and back).
Lie on the edge of the bed with your head hanging over it (keep your neck muscles tense and touch your chin to your chest; gradually increase the number of lifts, start with 5).
While sitting or standing, stretch your neck muscles upward, lifting your chin 8-10 times.
An important rule for caring for the skin of the neck and décolleté is to touch it strictly along the massage lines. Along the front wall of the neck we move our hands up, along the sides of the neck - down, along the neckline - from the center to the shoulders.
The right pillow. You can choose an orthopedic pillow in the salon, or take a simple pillow based on buckwheat husk. It adapts to the body of the neck and supports the head in the correct horizontal position during sleep.
