Saggy skin

neck skin

Question

The skin on my neck is getting crepey and is not as firm as it used to be. Is there anything I can do to tone it up?

Answer

Oil glands are scarce around the neck area, so the skin is very fragile and, according to Judith Korner of Madame Korner Salons and Colleges, “Our necks need extra care as we age, to keep the skin as smooth and firm as possible. To avoid the signs of ageing, such as crepiness, use the richest cream available for both night and day, and avoid the sun. Choose a cream that contains collagen and massage in circles to improve circulation and gently exercise the muscles. Sleeping on a low pillow can also help. A gentle, nourishing mask will also add to an overall improvement.”
