Beauty Tips For Neck

Tip 1: The direction of massage for the neck skin is a very important thing to remember because a nice massage in a wrong direction or with wrong movement over the neck skin can damage the skin. Neck skin is very thin and delicate. It is more delicate than the skin of your face. The proper direction to massage the skin of the neck is by moving both your palms from lower to upper region in vertical movements. Never massage your neck in circular motions or from top to bottom.
Tip 2: Oils help the neck skin to rejuvenate. Not just any oils though. You have to be careful when it comes to selecting the right kind of oil. Select those oils which are not extremely heavy.
Below some oils are mentioned which can be used for neck massage therapy in their pure form. Coconut oil is heavy oil but it can be used in very little amounts or you can mix it with a little water on your palm and then use it. Olive oil, sweet almond oil, chamomile oil, eucalyptus oil and rose oil are also good options.
Tip 3: Do not over massage you neck. A neck massage should last from 10-15 minutes maximum with a possible break of 1 or 2 minutes in between. Over massaging can strain the neck skin.
Tip 4: Masks also work wonders for the neck skin just like the skin of the face. Use fruit masks on the neck for best results. Fruits like apple, ripe banana, avocado and plums can work wonders for the neck skin.
Tip 5: A very important point to remember while using packs on the neck skin is never allow any type of pack other than fruit packs to get dry on the skin of the neck. Packs of clay, gram flour, whole wheat flour, or any other kinds of mud packs should never be left to dry and crack over the neck skin.
Tip 6: If you can get a spa treatment for your neck, then nothing better than that once in a while. Make sure that your body position while taking massage is correct. If you are taking a massage for relaxation purpose or to get rid of spondylosis pain, then a sitting position can be quite good; but if you are taking a spa polishing or smoothing treatment for the neck then the best position would be to lie flat on your back and take it.
All of the above mentioned homemade mixtures are easy and readily available at home. These are best for soft, young and hydrated skin. These method helps prevent signs of aging and repair damaged skin.

Make up tips for the neck :
"Please stop applying foundation that stops at your jawline—it's so important to blend your makeup into your neck. Use a dampened sponge to work in liquid or cream foundation in a circular, stippling motion (tapping up and down). Since your neck is naturally a shade or two lighter than your face, use the excess product left on the sponge to blend the face, jaw, and neck area together. Once you've blended the pigment into the skin, dip a smaller powder brush into a dot of loose powder and feather out your whole face.
