Beauty Tips – A Beautiful Neck

Pretend you are a turtle. Push your neck out as far as it can comfortably go without moving your shoulder. Hold for six seconds and slowly pull back your neck as far as it can come toward your throat. Hold for six seconds. That’s one round. Relax and repeat six times.

Purchase a lightweight terry (hand) towel and dip in warm water. Twist it into the shape of a rope and see-saw it gently under your chin with upward and outward motions. Go easy with this and other exercises until you build up tolerance. Stop when you feel discomfort. Apply a small amount of olive oil before and after exercises.

As you awaken each morning, help tighten or prevent the “turkey wattle” under your neck by lying to the edge of the bed or lying on the bed with a pillow under your shoulder only. Let your head hang (the pillow is gentler) and raise it slowly. Lower gently for 10 reps.
