A special note about necks. They show crepiness, big time. Even more than decollete. The skin of the neck has very little in the way of nurturing pores and oil glands, like the chest. But the neck ages faster probably because of 2 other factors. One is that the neck is almost always exposed to the elements, like sun, wind, and extremes of temperatures.

The second factor is movement. The neck is always nodding, bending, flexing, stretching and twisting. The constant movement takes its toll, wearing down the skin, breaking down collagen, elastin, etching in lines and wrinkles. The neck also shows laxity early on, laxity is just the consequence of loss of collagen and elastin in combination with the pull of gravity. Eventually, the result is a saggy and crepey neck.

What you need is skin care designed for these very unique areas with needs that are different than the face and the rest of the body.

Products specially formulated for the neck emphasize support for the skin’s natural elastin production utilizing botanicals like sage, apple, and dill extracts as well as peptides. Retinols, particularly when encapsulated to reduce irritation, help to visibly smooth creases and lines on the neck. Neck products also need to glide on and leave the skin soft and smooth, not feeling tacky or greasy.

And, of course, don’t forget sunscreen. Your neck especially needs daily protection from harmful UV rays.
