Do you have sagging or loose skin on your neck? Often referred to as "turkey neck", it's normal to experience some level of skin laxity as you age.
Over the years, the elastin and collagen in your skin break down. These proteins are responsible for keeping your skin supple and firm - they're the key to younger-looking skin!
Keep reading, and we'll share 3 natural ways to tighten your neck skin.
Key Takeaways
Turkey neck is the name for the sagging, wrinkled, or loose skin below your neck.
Things like age, genetics, lifestyle, diet, and sun damage can all play a part in the presence of turkey neck or sagging skin.
Exercises and massage can strengthen your neck muscles, while skincare and cosmetics can nourish and moisturize your neck skin. This combination can give you younger-looking and tighter skin.
Turkey neck is the name for the sagging or loose skin on or below your neck.
Whether you call it turkey neck, a double chin, or sagging skin, it's a completely normal and common part of aging! So, don't panic! Though it can be worrisome to see your youthful appearance give way to wrinkles and fine lines, but it's not as bad as it seems.
After all, your skin is like a canvas for your life, showcasing your accomplishments and journey.
As Nora Ephron wrote, “Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth. You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn’t have to if it had a neck.”
At What Age Does Turkey Neck Start to Appear?
At around 40 years old, your body's natural production of elastin and collagen starts to slow down. And when elastin and collagen production begins to take a back seat, it can lead to things like sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. But some people don't notice turkey neck until they reach their 50s or 60s.
However, the presence of aging skin is determined by more than just the collagen and elastin in your skin. Things like diet, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can also play a part.
What Causes Loose Skin & Turkey Neck?
Turkey neck is a natural part of aging. However, the formation of turkey neck can be sped up by a few factors, including:
Excess fat: Fat cells accumulate in your skin and neck by the time you're 30, which can stretch the skin.
Sun damage: The UV rays from the sun cause free radicals to form, which damage the collagen and elastin in your skin.
Collagen and elastin breakdown: Over time, elastin and collagen production slow down, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.
Facial structure: When the hyoid bone (a U-shaped bone) is set further forward, it can reduce the length of the chin.
Lifestyle: Things like diet, smoking, and lifestyle choices can affect your skin health and lead to aging skin or sagging skin sooner.
How to Tighten Neck Skin
So, how does one treat turkey neck? Luckily, there are a few ways, both surgical and non-surgical.
At JUARA, we prefer natural remedies and holistic healing above all. We believe that this approach is better for your mind, body, and spirit.
So, here are 3 natural ways to tighten skin in your neck.
#1. Facial Exercises & Neck Exercises
Things like massage and exercise can help strengthen neck muscles and improve blood circulation. This, in turn, improves the structure and health of your skin.
Try a variety of exercises and massages, such as jamu massage, hot stone massage, and a body oil massage. Here are some exercises that can help, too:
Neck lift: Lie flat on a surface, like a bed or sofa, with your head hanging over the edge. Slowly lift your head before slowly lowering it. Repeat five times.
Chewing: Raise your head slightly so your chin points to the ceiling. Move your jaw forward to feel a slight stretch in your chin. Keep your lips closed. This may feel like a slow chewing motion. Hold this position for five seconds and repeat 10 times.
Forehead push: Place one hand on your forehead, and push your head against your hand without moving your head. Hold for 10 seconds. Then, place one hand on the back of your head, and push your head against your hand without moving your head. Hold for 10 seconds.
#2. Skincare Products & Cosmetic Creams
Skincare is self-care. And it's the key to younger and healthier skin!
Skincare is a fantastic way to care for your skin health and your mental health, as it gives you a chance to reconnect and reset. Plus, skincare can help you cure your turkey neck!
Using Skincare Products to Heal and Nourish Your Skin
There are a variety of creams, serums, moisturizers, and cleansers that are designed to lift, firm, tone, and tighten skin. Many anti-aging skincare products contain ingredients that increase skin cell turnover, stimulate collagen production, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Products like moisturizers and creams can deliver antioxidants and nutrients directly to your skin, giving it the nourishment it needs to thrive. That's why plant-based and all-natural formulas are the best - they draw upon Mother Nature and time-tested traditions.
So, when it comes to anti-aging skincare, nothing beats this Clove Flower & Turmeric Serum from JUARA. Loaded with skin-boosting and wrinkle-erasing goodness, it can soften and strengthen the skin in just a few uses.
If you're more of a cleanser-and-moisturizer girly, try this Candlenut Body Creme. Complete with avocado oil, candlenut oil, and illipe butter, it is fast-absorbing for long-lasting comfort and support. It'll penetrate the deep layers of your skin with ease, leaving it glowy and gorgeous!
Try Using These Skin-Smoothing Ingredients in Your Daily Ritual
For a smoother appearance and healthier skin, use some of these ingredients in your skincare routine:
Hyaluronic acid for hydration and moisture retention
Alpha hydroxy acids for exfoliation and blood flow
In addition to using a neck cream or a neck mask, it's a good idea to follow a healthy lifestyle (for a few reasons!) Exercise regularly, eat healthy, and sleep well. Not only will your skin thank you, but so will your mind and body.
Yes! There are a few ways you can tighten or firm the skin on your neck. There are both surgical and non-surgical skin-tightening methods, including ultherapy, laser treatments, and microneedling. You can also use natural remedies, like skincare and massage, to promote collagen production, blood circulation, and healthy skin.
Can Sagging Neck Skin Be Reversed?
Loose neck skin may not be completely reversible, but you can minimize its appearance. Things like massage, skincare, and other treatments can restore skin elasticity and promote skin cell turnover, which can reduce the appearance of turkey neck!
