When it comes to keeping the effects of aging at bay, we cleanse, nourish and moisturize in an effort to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face - too often forgetting to extend the level of care past our jawlines. However, deep‐set, horizontal neck lines and creases can add years to your appearance. Keep reading to discover what causes neck lines and how to help get rid of them, for a more youthful appearance.
What causes neck lines?
Aging
With age, skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, causing a loss in strength, elasticity and firmness. As a result, skin on the neck can start to sag and crease.
Sun exposure
With the potential to damage collagen levels in the skin, sun exposure can speed up the aging process and contribute to the appearance of neck lines.
Genetics
Genetic makeup can also be a contributing factor, as some individuals are genetically more prone to developing neck lines than others.
Lifestyle
Common lifestyle causes include smoking, dehydration, and looking down at your phone too often. A poor skincare routine can also be a contributing factor.
