One rule of thumb when it comes to anti-aging skincare routines is never forget the neck! The logic behind this is not rocket science: there is skin on your neck! And like your face, that skin can also wrinkle, sag, and age.
For most of us, we won’t have to build some special routine specifically for our neck. We can easily take everything we’re applying on our faces and simply make sure we’re spreading the love downward.
However, if you do want to specifically show your neck some TLC, we have some suggestions! Here are 3 must-have skincare products to keep all the sagging and wrinkling at bay.
L’Oreal Collagen Moisture Filler Facial Day Cream, $12
This is a dermatologist-tested daily face cream that smooths wrinkles and fine lines by keeping the skin hydrated, moisturized, and infused with collagen, shea butter, and good ol’ glycerin.
While this is a moisture filler that can be used during the day, the trick to this particular cream is to use it at night after cleansing your face. This way, it’ll settle into your skin overnight and you’ll benefit greatly during the day.
Paula’s Choice RESIST Intensive Repair Cream, $37
Think about every buzzword you ever heard about anti-aging skincare: retinol, hyaluronic acid, fatty acids, peptides. Do any of those words sound familiar? Well they’re all in this super powerful moisturizer!
At first, it’s just a rich, creamy texture that soothes dry, flaky skin as soon as you apply. But then, once you really work it into your skin and continue using it over time, you’ll notice that your neck starts to look younger, firmer, and smoother over time.
Neostrata Triple Firming Neck Cream, $62
Now this right here? It’s strictly for the neck, girl! In fact, it’s an award-winning cream that fights three different skincare concerns all at once: discoloration, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and firming up looser areas.
This is a day-and-night kinda thing, too! All you have to do is apply the neck cream in an upwards motion from the bottom of the neck all the way up to the jawline, once in the morning and then again at night.
