Why is my neck older than my face - and what can be done ?

I'm 59 - my face is an OK mid to late fifties - I'm fine with that.
My neck however seems to have gone on it's own rogue ageing journey and is now about 150 - it wrinkles and sags and has wattles like a chicken.
I hate it.
Short of polo necks which come up to my chin or painting my neck black Boy George stylee, what can I do to stop looking like one of those mismatched pictures that make small children hoot with laughter ?
The problem seems to be an odd combination of too much skin (not fat - just flappy skin) and a kind of scrawny wrinkliness. Sad
It is slightly improved if I tip my head right back - but I can't really go around pretending I'm shrieking with laughter - my children will have me in a home even sooner than they have already planned.

It’s a mystery OP I have cared for my neck as much as my face throughout my life but still my neck is far older than my face and I have maintained my weight all my life as well, kept out the sun etc, it’s very depressing, truth is nothing will change it significantly apart from a neck lift, the only way I disguise it a bit is keeping my hair longer so my neck is not too exposed, soften the edges so to speak, no pixie cuts for me.

I’m only in my mid 40’s and my neck is a scrawny mess. I took roaccutane about a decade ago and it had a marked effect on my décolletage and neck. I’m going to invest in some high neck tops cause nothing seems to help.... nothing I can afford anyway.

I read about a neck and chest cream by Prai - Ageless Throat and Décolletage Cream sold in M&S that's supposed to be great.
Has any Mumsnetter tried it ?

That sounds worth a try beanaseirann - might pop into Marks tomorrow.
