black neck

While you might focus attention on your face, your neck also suffers exposure to sun damage, excess tanning, discoloration, and pigmentation. This could result in a black neck.

Causes of Black Neck

• In the summer, excessive exposure to harsh sunlight could cause a black neck. Individuals, who spend lengthy periods of time outdoors gardening, farming or indulging in physical activity like running, hiking, and so on could suffer from black neck too.

• Black neck due to hyper pigmentation is often a result of skin inflammation, injury or sun damage.

• Some people may suffer from discoloration of skin on the neck from swimming in chlorinated water at swimming pools.

• High levels of pollution and dust could also result in some people suffering from a black neck.

• Hormonal changes, medical conditions, and obesity can also cause black neck. Age spots on the neck and face can also give you a black neck. This is a natural part of the ageing process.

• Use a good sunscreen with sun protection (SPF) recommended for your climate conditions. While an SPF 15 is the average recommendation for mild sunshine, you may have to use SPF 50 if you spend time outdoors or in regions that get bright sunshine for most part of the year. The SPF in a sunscreen protects your skin from the ultra violet radiation. Apply on face, arms, and neck to avoid black neck.

• Take two teaspoons of chickpea flour and one teaspoon of turmeric powder and mix this with milk cream to form a paste. Apply this generously on the darkened region and let it stand for five minutes. Sponge off or wash in the shower with warm water. The abrasive action of the flour will loosen and cleanse dead skin while turmeric acts as an antiseptic. The milk cream has a moisturizing and skin lightening effect on the black neck.

• Citrus juice extracts from lime and lemon act as a natural bleaching agent. Applying these on the affected region can help to lighten the skin on a black neck.

• If you have a black neck due to excessive tanning, apply a paste made of oatmeal, curd, and fresh tomato juice on the affected region to lighten the skin in the affected area.
