This part of the body you forget to treat

Of all the parts of our body, the neck is without a doubt the one we tend to neglect. Between aches and the lack of hydration for lack of cream, it is fair to say that our poor neck is put through a lot. It is high time to fix all that. Good posture, moisturizing creams, Terre de Mars gives you its tips for taking care of your neck, that part of the body you forget to look after.

Adopting the right position with a memory foam pillow

Neck pain, more commonly called neck pain, often shows up as stiffness that limits the mobility of your neck. At night, it is easy to reduce neck pain by using a memory foam pillow or an ergonomic pillow, which provide perfect support for the head.

Hydrate your skin all the way to the décolleté

Just like your face, the skin on your neck and décolleté needs care. In fact, because it is very thin, the skin in this area ages very easily when it lacks hydration. So, just like for the face, you can adopt a beauty routine for your neck. Start by applying a non-greasy face oil to it and all the way to the base of the décolleté. The best thing will be to take the opportunity to give your skin a light massage. This will help your day cream or the products in a set of 5 treatments penetrate better and help prevent your skin from aging.

Adopting good posture at work to avoid tension

Neck pain mainly comes from our current lifestyle. Looking at smartphones and working on a computer are the main causes of neck pain. Adopting the right habits is therefore necessary: do not stay in front of the computer for hours, raise the screen, and if you work on a laptop, choose wireless keyboards and mice. As for the phone, avoid pinning it between your ear and shoulder.

Choose the right clothes and accessories

Did you know that clothing or carrying backpacks can have an impact on neck pain? Because of this, it is essential to choose a suitable backpack that is not too heavy. The same goes for your high-heeled shoes: make sure to choose wedge-heeled styles to keep a posture as straight as possible. Finally, in winter, don't forget to wear a scarf to keep your neck warm.

Practice a gentle regular physical activity

Regularly practicing a gentle physical activity and adopting a healthy lifestyle are the best preventive ways to combat neck pain. Walking, swimming, yoga, as well as stretching and Pilates are the best sports to avoid neck pain. You can also regularly do stretches to loosen your neck and keep your cervical vertebrae from locking up. On the other hand, sports such as running or combat sports should be avoided.

Apply a gel to relieve your muscle tension

Once again, plants will be a great help in relieving muscle tension in the cervical area. For example, apply an arnica gel or a cream based on peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil to ease the pain.
