Question about Clay Masks

[slique]

...whether we can apply mud/clay mask onto our neck? Maybe it has some good properties like tightens our skin or something like that, because my neck has this two obvious line (it's like I was strangled with a string) and I hate it. Ugh. So um, can we?

 

[Eragirl]

I know a lot of women who do.

When I get a facial, they always put the mask on my neck.

Sometimes I apply masks on my neck too.

Apply the mask, but don't worry about the line. I'm sure you are the only person in the world who has ever noticed it.

If you want to tighten the skin on your neck, maybe you could try some anti-aging creams? (The kind that you normally put on your face to prevent wrinkles and tighten your skin...)

i do it, but thats mainly to make sure its clean.

 

[ShelbyLynn]

I usually apply it to my neck too.

 

[Guenevere]

I always have. I took my hunny for a professional shave and he got a mask and she did it to him, so I'm sure it's fine.

I second the other Jessica's opinion that you probably notice the lines WAY more than anyone else does! I think most women get those lines in their early - mid 20's...even earlier for some! A mask couldn't hurt, and it is definately a nice way to treat your skin!

I also second that you may want to invest in a good moisturizer with antioxidants (I like dermalogica's skin smoothing moisturizer myself). But take a look at the women around you, and you will see most of them have the same two lines you're worried about!

My mom gave me a l'occitaine olive oil and water mask called "express radiance" for my birthday. The woman at L'occitaine says it is a favorite amongst celebrities. I don't know WHICH celebrities, but I really like it!!

I can't think of any reason you couldn't put it on your neck...

 

[Becka]

i'm w/ the others, it should be fine on your neck.

 

[Brownshugaz]

Even if it doesn't work for the lines atleast it would be a nice treat

 

[monniej]

i have the same regime for my neck as i do for my face.

 

[Aquilah]

I don't see why not... Whatever my mom does to her face, she does to her neck. Lots of women do it that way

I always do because that's what my mom told me. But once at a spa when they applied the clay mask they put it on my neck. So I think you can do it. I read in a book that I can't remember that we're supposed to take care of our neck as much as we take care of our face.

I don't see anything wrong with putting it on the neck.
