Retin-A Creams That Tighten the Neck
While wrinkles may be the most noticeable on your face, other areas of your body, like your neck, can sag and betray your age as well. Both “More” and “Allure” magazines state that Retin-A, or retinol, creams work to increase your skin’s production of collagen and enhance cell turnover, which helps to tighten skin and diminish wrinkles 1. Use body products with this ingredient to lift sagging neck skin and get a younger-looking glow.
SkinMedica TNS Body Lotion
The skin on your neck is often different than the skin on your face, and using products especially formulated for the body will work best for it. To tighten and even out your neck skin, “More” recommends applying SkinMedica TNS Body Lotion. This product promises to repair any damage your skin has suffered as a result of aging or exposure to the harmful effects of the environment.
It claims to moisturize and smooth skin while also diminishing the look of any brown spots or discolorations, and it contains retinol to soften rough spots and exfoliate dead cells, helping to encourage new cells to form. Other ingredients like hyaluronic acid and retinyl palmitate work to lock the product’s nourishment deep inside your skin, making it firmer, plumper and less prone to sagging.
