Neck wrinkles? Consider using a neck cream to smooth wrinkles and sagging skin on your neck to look years younger. Many women I know in their 40′s and 50′s have begun to show wrinkles around their eyes and face – and there are plenty of products available to give you youthful skin. But often overlooked are the wrinkles and fine lines that begin to form on the sides of the neck, under the chin and along the base of the neck near the shoulders.
As we age our skin naturally begins to lose hydration and moisture and collagen and elastin production are diminished. Healthy cell renewal and adequate moisture keep our skin feeling and looking smooth, soft and young. Loss of hydration together with accumulated damage from oxidization (free-radical damage) harm cell membranes reducing the skin’s elasticity and “plumpness”.
To compound the problem, the neck area is especially susceptible to signs of aging and wrinkles. Why? Because unlike facial skin, neck skin is subjected to gravity which pulls and weighs down tissue. Additionally, facial skin is somewhat supported by underlying bone structure and muscle tissue. This acts to give facial skin a more firm appearance – even as we age. Neck skin has very little of this support and is often overlooked when using skin care.
Though it is optimistic to say the neck receives as much attention as the face, but in fact it doesn’t. Many “anti-aging” skin care products are promoted for and are for use on the face…leaving the neck as the poor step-child. Unfortunately, wrinkles are most visible and appear earlier on the neck. Pay attention to open-collared blouses and low-cut sweaters next time and you’ll often see that the neck will do more to give-away age than the face. The promise is, however, there are solutions to neck wrinkles and there are neck creams that have been formulated to address this very issue.
Wrinkle creams for the neck focus on advanced firming and moisturizing. Tightening skin on the neck requires active ingredients that rejuvenate the skin, increase collagen and elastin fiber production as well as to increase moisture – without leaving your skin oily, greasy or staining clothes. Many wrinkle creams use Matrixyl or Argireline in their formulas. Both help tighten skin and improve cellular “turnover”. Equally important is moisture retention.
Hyaluronic Acid is now one of the most popular skin care ingredients. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that aids moisture retention in our cells – a key to fight aging skin and wrinkles.
A third primary component to look for is an antioxidant. It is well-known that free-radicals damage cell membranes and lead to poor cellular health. Vitamin C, Green Tea and even blueberries are shown to help proptect and repair damage from oxidization and free-radicals.
Your neck needs proper skin care as much as your face, and,when properly cared for, make you look years younger. Now go get rid of those neck wrinkles!
