It’s not surprising that our necks start to wrinkle and sag as we reach our 30’s, considering how thin the skin is on our necks and they hold up our heads that weigh between 10-11 pounds!

Just like our hands necks show our true age, and in the 1940’s Marlene Dietrich is reported to have used surgical tape underneath her wig to lift her sagging neck! Some of us opt to wear polo necks or a scarf but don’t want to cover up here’s the heads up on neck treatments:
Sew it up: Try a thread lift, multiple PDO threads are inserted under the skin and then pulled back to lift and smooth the neck and face, the procedure boosts up the bodies natural collagen and elastin production, and generally keeps in shape for about 18 -24 months.
Cryostimulation: is the new buzz word in the beauty industry – a controlled stream of vaporized liquid nitrogen -80ºC to – 150ºC is used to cool the skin of the face and neck, this stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, decreases pore size, skin becomes tighter, even toned and blood circulation is improved. I’ve heard that Alexander Burke and Duncan James like to have Cryo before going on stage. Treatments at Eudelo London SW8
Iron it out: The Uplift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller, by Nurse Jamie is a favorite with celebrities preparing for the red carpet. Roll it over your neck and face for 10 minutes a day to increase circulation, and plump skin. Kim Kardashion is said to use this genius wand to make her jaw and neck look sharper and firmer. Hilary Duff said “it just irons out all the bumps and creases.”
Exfoliate: Once a week to remove dead skin cells and smooth. I like Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream.
Cleanse and tone: and never forget your neck! Make-up left on the skin causes blocks pores, which leads to dryness then wrinkles!
Moisturise: you must always apply creams in upward strokes. The group on My Best Product Ever love Cult 51 and Tamanu Neck & Bust Cream, which is natural, organic and vegan.
In the sun: Apply a high factor SPF and don’t spray perfume on your neck or chest as it can stain your skin as it reacts with the sunshine.
Sleep on it: Sleeping on a high pillow can result in neck wrinkles try to lay as flat as possible, your head should be kept level with your shoulders, and sleeping on your back is best! Bamboo pillows are good as they support varying positions for back and neck alignment.
Posture: Bending over our devices and phones, affects the natural curve of the spine and crinkles necks, try to stand and sit upright, and lift your device up to eye level rather than looking downwards.
Then always walk with your shoulders back, let your neck hold your head up high and take on the world…
