We know you are truly committed to your skin care ritual. However, do you extend the skin care regime to your neck or is it left to fend for itself? If it's the latter, uneven skin tone, wrinkles and dark spots are just around the corner. And if you think slathering remnants of your facial product on neck counts, you are wrong. Here's why.

Unlike your face, your neck is made up of lesser collagen and fewer oil glands which means it's prone to darkening, drying and wrinkling. Constantly craning over your phones, doesn't make things any better on the sagging front. So, your neck does need a targeted skin care routine.

That being said, don't let anyone tell you (not even us) that you should invest in dedicated neck care products. BUT if you do wish to start a TLC routine for your nape too, we have got your covered.

Dark Neck Causes

Here are a few common reasons for dark neck.

• Extreme exposure to the sun for prolonged periods of time
• Deposit of environmental pollutants and toxins
• Certain chemicals in skin care products that cause darkening of skin
• Obesity and diabetes
• Fungal infections

How To Clean Your Neck

Here are a few common reasons for dark neck.

• Step 1: Cleanse

  Dirt build-up on your neck can make it look a shade or two darker than your face. This can be prevented by thoroughly washing your neck with a gentle cleanser to maintain a glowing complexion free from impurities.

• Step 2: Exfoliate

  Once a week, gently scrub your neck to slough off accumulated dead skin cells. You can whip up your own homemade scrub with lemon and brown sugar or choose a mild exfoliator that doesn't irritate.

• Step 3: Condition

  Ensure you moisturize your neck to keep skin protected from free radicals and aging. You can also opt for an SPF infused formula to prevent damage due to unavoidable sun exposure.
