Skin sagging by the type of "turkey neck", second chin, flabbiness and neck pain: remove everything!

We pay great attention to body tone and facial skin care. We often miss a very important element in beauty And youth, neck care.

The subcutaneous muscle of the neck, or platism, is responsible for the appearance of the neck and chin. It differs from other muscles and is highly susceptible to age-related changes and external damage.





Platism is not connected to bone tissue and, like all muscles, tends to lose elasticity. The skin of the neck contains fewer sebaceous glands than the face. The lack of sebaceous glands makes this area very prone to dryness and the formation of wrinkles. Therefore, it is very important to apply moisturizing creams not only on the skin of the face, but also on the skin of the neck!





Age-related changes are primarily manifested in weakness of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck. But changes in it often lead not to the formation of a second chin, but to sagging skin like a “turkey neck”.

Over time, there is also an accumulation of adipose tissue in the lower cheeks and chin area. This leads to the fact that circular folds appear on the skin, it becomes flabby and wrinkled.





One of the main causes of deterioration in the quality of the neck skin is posture. Since in real life we often look under our feet rather than at the sky, platism has almost no work. And from forced inaction, it weakens, becomes sluggish, sags and ceases to tighten the skin.





Exercises for the subcutaneous muscle of the neck
  1. Smile, strain the lower part of the face for 5 seconds, and relax the muscles for the same time. Repeat for a minute. Relaxation of the muscle lowering the corner of the mouth gives an effective result in the form of raising the corners of the lips and changes the facial expression to a more positive one. And by straining platism, you redistribute muscle activity and tighten the muscle itself. When conducting such an exercise, you should remember that the main thing is regularity.




  2. During inhalation, lower the lower lip and jaw down so that the tension of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck is maximum, and the tendons are clearly manifested on the neck. All other muscles of the face should remain relaxed. Count down to yourself for 6 seconds and completely relax your neck at the same time as exhale. Repeat the exercise 4-5 times with breaks of 2-3 seconds between stresses.




  3. Bow your head forward and press your palms from the front onto the chest at level 3 ribs. Then take a breath, fixing the skin on the ribs with your fingers, slowly lift and take your head back, thus causing tension of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck. When exhaling, put your head in an upright position. Repeat the entire cycle of movements 3-6 times. Through the nose, slowly breathe in and, opening your mouth wide, throw your head back to the limit.

    Then, keeping the backward position of the head and exhaling through the nose, slowly close the mouth, bringing together the lower jaw and upper. Returning your head to an upright position, rest 2-3 seconds. Repeat the exercise 36 times.




  4. Simhasana is the lion's pose. When protruding the tongue, his muscles are activated, as well as the direct muscle of the abdomen, the muscles of the pelvic floor and the muscles attached to the sternum. A strong exhalation activates the diaphragm, the muscles of the pelvic floor and the muscles that control the vocal cords. In this case, the subcutaneous muscle of the neck is also reduced.

    As a result, simhasana stimulates many muscles, which are usually not given enough attention. In addition, Simhasana has a tonic effect on the subcutaneous muscle of the neck, which gives a good cosmetic effect.




  5. Inflate your cheeks as hard as possible, close your mouth and start moving air in a circle - from the left cheek above the upper lip to the right cheek and from under the lower lip right to the left cheek. Then tilt your head back slightly and start gently blowing the air out. Imagine blowing away a speck of dust. Repeat it 3-5 times.




Do these exercises every day, and soon you will notice the result: you will have a beautiful and toned neck.
