Turkey necks are for Thanksgiving, not for wearing

by Amber on November 20, 2009

Be honest with yourself.  When was the last time you paid attention to your neck when you were applying your moisturizer and sunscreen?  If the answer was “just this morning”, you’re one step ahead of the aging game.  If the answer was “not very often” or “I never really have”, we have some chit-chatting to do.  The odds are–neglecting your neck now is going to end up showing your age, and probably look a little older than you really are.  The skin is much thinner there and very prone to “turkey neck”.  You don’t want it sister.  Unless you want a lifetime of turtlenecks…

Avoid the “gobble gobble”!  Regardless of whether your neck and decolletage still look youthful, or maybe they’ve seen better days–here are some simple ways to remain the timeless goddess that you are:

  1. Use adequate sun protection on your face, neck, and chest every day.  An SPF 30 or higher is ideal–DDF Matte Finish Photo-Age Protection SPF 30 is a great start!
  2. Keep the vulnerable skin on your neck and decolletage hydrated.  Try using an intensive moisture mask treatment like Orlane Bio-Mimic Hydrating Mask* to deliver a surge of phenomenal moisture.
  3. Use a firming cream as soon as the first signs are visible.  One formulated for skin firmness and elasticity is your best bet!  Check out Relastin Ultra Emollient*, Miss Oops Goblet Goop*, and Bliss Thinny Thin Chin Neck Firming Cream.
