Neck Wrinkles & Sagging: How to Combat

Neck Wrinkles & Sagging: How to Combat

If you’re reading this, it may be because your neck is showing signs of ageing. It may be more wrinkled or saggy, and it could even have some discoloration from sun damage. Neck wrinkles and sagging are often called “turkey neck” because they make the neck look a bit like a turkey’s wattle. If you don’t take care of yourself now, the turkey-like fold under your chin and ring lines around your neck can only get worse! The good news is, there are a variety of options available so find the one that works for your needs!

First, we need to understand why does the neck looks older?

Our necks age faster than our faces and are exposed to the same risks as well. The skin loses collagen, elasticity, and is also more susceptible to sun damage because it will get less care over time if this continues on a regular basis. This can cause aging of the skin such as wrinkles or sagging that begins earlier in life too due to smoking or being out under harmful UV rays for long periods of time without sunscreen protection which speeds up how quickly we lose muscle mass causing us look older much sooner than necessary. As we get older, laxity in the neck occurs due to a loss of support from connective tissue and muscle. This leads to what we commonly call a “waddle” or “turkey neck” and looks like loose skin under our chin.

Saggy skin is the most common result of aging, but it’s also one that we have control over to an extent. Here’s how:

Many women take a supplement to fight signs of skin aging. Collagen can strengthen and thicken the skin, which some experts say may ward off causes for turkey neck. However not all collagen supplements are created equal so it’s important to do your research before taking one; they aren’t miracle workers — although many people still opt for treatments or surgical procedures if their issues with turkey neck get worse over time.

Firming creams and serums are some of the most popular treatments. Many people have a very strict regimen when it comes to moisturizing their faces but often forget about protecting their neck (raise your hand if you’re guilty). If you’ll be outside in the sun apply SPF on your face – don’t neglect your neck! Make sure that part is included in everyday skincare: Dermatologists recommend using creams that hydrate, offer protection from both UV rays, and contain vitamin C or E – thanks to their amazing abilities to tighten up loose skin.
