What is "tech neck" and how is it impacting our beauty routine?
When it comes to beauty, don't forget your neck. This delicate area is one of the first to show the signs of aging.
If you haven’t heard of tech neck yet, you will. A beauty (and health) woe for the modern age, tech neck refers to the position of your neck when you look to check your phone and tablet. And as a population, we check our phones a lot. According to a survey done by beauty brand StriVectin, the average person checks their mobile device about 221 times a day. A day. That’s double than the rate we checked our phones just four years ago.
So why does this matter? Well, as we bend our heads forward, up to an extra 60 pounds of weight is put on the spine—which puts a lot of stress on your neck. This will definitely cause some health issues—which is the main reason to check your smart phone habit—but it can also trigger a beauty issue too.
Repeatedly looking down at your phone can lead to or increase the prominence of neck lines and sagging skin. StriVectin has called this “Tech Neck.”
While we recommend addressing the way you check your phone (hold that baby up to your face instead of looking down at it for starters) we also know you might want to treat the more superficial side effects of this habit. Here are the creams, specially formulated for your neck—which by the way has thin and delicate skin and is already prone to sagging and loss of elasticity—to help combat Tech Neck.
