Why Does My Neck Look Saggy?
As we get older, our neck often reveals our true age, with sagging skin becoming a common concern. It's easy to neglect the neck when it comes to skincare and protection but it is very important to take the time and really treat the neck. If you're feeling like your neck is a little saggy and needs a little help, Med 44 Arcadia is the place for you!
Why Does the Neck Age You?
The neck is more vulnerable when it comes to aging due to many different factors. Sun exposure, loss of collagen and elastin, constant movement, and lack of skincare can contribute to sagginess and creepiness. Additionally, the skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate, which makes it more susceptible to showing signs of aging.
Why Does My Face Age Differently Than My Face?
You may be noticing that the neck shows more signs of aging than the face does. This is because the neck doesn't have as many protective fat layers as the face, making it more noticeable when the aging process begins. In addition, many people, even if they take great care of the skin on their face, sometimes forget to include the neck and when the neck is being neglected it can age differently and quicker than the face, causing an imbalance.
