Good posture: the Secret to Prevent Saggy Skin and Wrinkles!

In this tech-centric society, you spend more and more time each day hunched over your smartphone, computer or tablet without even considering skin health consequences. The truth is that if you hold a poor posture for long periods of time, tech-neck aging signs will soon appear.

Believe it or not, one of the main causes of sagging or wrinkled skin is related to the positions you hold when standing or sitting: the longer you keep an inadequate posture, the quicker your skin ages.

Now, you are probably looking in the mirror and noticing that your skin has changed. Don’t panic! There’s still time to stop your skin’s premature aging. These are 3 tips you can bear in mind the next time you start your long working hours using a technological device.

1. Good posture

How your posture affects your skin is what really matters. There is a simple, but important thing you can do to prevent your skin from aging: be mindful of your posture. This may seem easy, but it takes time to change your muscle memory.

You can start right now! Watch your posture when holding your smartphone or working with your computer or tablet. Your tech-neck and face will automatically get into their natural position: looking down on your screen.

So, every time your neck folds, try to force it back to a good posture. It would also be useful to set an alarm for a good posture reminder. Your skin will be so grateful that it will start looking younger.

Adopting a good position may feel awkward at first, but with a bit of practice, it will turn into a daily habit.

2. Get active pauses

The sooner you get active, the quicker aging signs will improve. So, don’t just go and have a cup of coffee on your break. If you do so, you will immediately go back to your seat. The best way to make the most of a tech-break is to stretch your neck and face.

Time to work out your face! Stretch back your face muscles, get them to their original position and vice versa for at least 3 minutes. Just make an exaggerated version of the face you’d put after getting unexpected news.

Stretch out your neck! Hold your neck back by putting your hand on your chin for five minutes. You will immediately hear sounds coming from your neck and this means your neck is stretching and relaxing so that you can get ready for the next working hours.

Yes, with these simple neck and face movements daily, you might get a firmer skin and fuller lower and upper cheeks.

3. Massage your neck and face

Face and neck massages are the best remedy for aging skin. It’s easier than you think, just give yourself a skin massage when you get a break. However, professional massage might be the best solution in some cases. So, go now and make an appointment at Clinical Massage & Spa Aruba to get the best skin massage for a fresher look and painless neck.

Well, these three tips will offer you non-invasive options to tighten your skin. But, do not forget to ask for professional advice if you need a different treatment.
