IS YOUR PHONE GIVING YOU ‘TECH NECK’?

Summary: Tech neck refers to the premature lines and sagging on the neck caused by constantly looking down at devices, making this thin and vulnerable area of skin a priority for modern skincare. To effectively combat this, a specialised neck product such as EXALT Firming Neck Gel must be applied consistently and paired with good posture and movement habits.

Digital devices are a huge part of our daily lives, with the average person in the UK spending 3-4 hours a day on their phone. We’re all guilty of it, aren’t we? That little head tilt, the slightly hunched posture, glued to our screens. It's the modern reality, but it’s bringing a very modern skincare challenge right to our attention: 'tech neck’.

What is tech neck?

Tech neck might sound like a passing trend, but it’s simply the term we use for the premature fine lines and wrinkles that are appearing on our necks earlier than ever before. Why? Because we spend so much time looking down at our devices.

When you tilt your head forward to check your phone, your delicate skin folds and creases for hours every day. This repetitive movement essentially 'trains' the skin to hold those lines, which can accelerate the natural loss of collagen and elastin, the vital springs that keeps your skin firm and bouncy.

Why is the skin on my neck so prone to lines and wrinkles?

We invest so much time and effort into our facial routines but the neck often gets a quick swipe of left-over product, or nothing at all!

Here's why the neck desperately needs its own moment:

• Thin skin: The skin here is naturally thinner than your face, making it more fragile and less resilient to constant movement, which creates folds.

• Less hydration: It has fewer oil glands, meaning it dries out faster and can quickly look 'crepey' if not moisturised effectively.

• Constant strain: The muscles in your neck are under constant tension when you look down, which contributes to the visible sagging we see over time.

In short, the neck needs more than just a quick dose of whatever you are using on your face; it needs specialist attention.

What products can I use to help tech neck? 

If you’re seeing those tell-tale horizontal lines, it's a clear signal that your existing routine isn't quite cutting it for this vulnerable area.

A specialised neck treatment is formulated differently for a reason. These products are designed to deliver a potent concentration of ingredients that specifically target firmness and elasticity. Think of it as tailored support, you wouldn't wear running shoes for a hike, and you shouldn't rely solely on a light facial serum to lift and smooth a strained neck!

Enter: EXALT Firming Neck Gel, a luscious neck gel designed to tackle the test of time. It powerfully performs to help tone and firm the look and feel of the neck and décolletage area, bringing back the youthfulness you desire. The special formula includes Mediterranean red pepper, grapeseed, olive, oats, wheat germ, vitamins and the gorgeous essential oil of rose. In minutes, you’ll see and feel the softness.

Twice a day, massage your EXALT Firming Neck Gel into the skin. Massage the neck and décolletage using upwards ‘kitten’ movements until fully absorbed. This technique is key to working against gravity and boosting absorption.

What else can I do to help tech neck?

Become conscious of your posture. Try to hold your phone higher and ensure your computer screen is at eye level. Taking short breaks to stretch your neck upwards makes a huge difference.

You wouldn't skip your facial moisturiser, so let's agree that the neck deserves the same commitment. Discover the solution to modern skin stress with EXALT Firming Neck Gel- your neck will thank you.
