Help, my neck is starting to look old!

I'm early 40s, always been fairly youthful looking but not had any work done (nor do I intend to). My neck is letting the side down! Starting to look a bit 'loose' and tired.

Any miracle products I could use, a special moisturiser or something? I always understood facial moisturiser isn't suitable for necks. Thanks!

Google 'tech neck'

Agree with that, I'm currently looking up at the sky as much as I can these days and trawling you tube for facial exercises.

I swear by Prai products (specifically for throat & décolletage skin)

I didn't know about tech-neck though and that's scared the bejesus out of me!!

I use the same cream for my face and neck. Am l doing it wrong?

Eek! I spend all day looking at my phone, I thought this was just natural aging!!

I've ordered the cream thank you, looking forward to trying that.

Argh I need this advice too OP - nearly 40 and it’s suddenly (in the past year) gone all saggy at the top under my chin.

Hi OP
I recommend trying Gatineau Strategie Jeunesse Firming Throat Gel. It's not cheap, so, I always buy mine from Ebay. I love it.
Gatineau also do a 3D Throat Gel/Cream, I haven't tried that though
Also, really good is Lulu Time Bomb Troubleshooter Neck & Jaw cream. I buy that from Ebay too. At the moment it costs £23.99 for 100ml which is incredible value x

Me too. Sun damage.

I slap on blue Nivea at night, it looks a lot better in the morning.

You've lost muscle tone. Try the faceworks neck exercise on you tube, that's really worked for me but you have to invest in it, won't work overnight.
Also a retinol based product.

Needling
Thread lift
Lasers

Or exercise

I can't stand the smell of the Prai serum and cream but I use them anyway because they work Grin
