wrinkly neck!

Can anyone help? This is my first gransnet post! I'm 55, petite and like to keep up to date with fashion. I think I take quite good care of my skin, always cleansing and moisturizing, using mainly high street brands, with occasional use of more expensive makes. My face isn't too bad, though I've got quite wrinkly eyelids, crow's feet and number 11s. However, what is troubling me greatly is my neck! It looks terrible! The texture is poor, it's all loose skin, wrinkled, crepey. I have very dry, thin skin, but my neck seems to have aged much more rapidly than anywhere else. It's honestly worse than some 80 year olds. Reasons are: too much sun in my 20s, too extreme dieting in my 30s, plus genes. I'm off work just now and got more time to look in the mirror and get down about it. I do find it depressing and embarrassing. Can anyone recommend cream, treatments or exercises to help?

Janerowena, please flog it to me LOL. I'll put it to good use. Or at least find out what it is and let us know smile

grin I have finally put a couple of batteries in it and tried it out! It's not too bad, if you use oil it slides around your wrinkles quite smoothly on its little roller feet.

www.reevoo.com/p/homedics-atom-hand-held-mini-massager, they have them on Ebay

www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/hand-held-massager I suspect they have been replaced by others. If you google 'hand held massager' there are loads of them.

However these seem to be doing the same job

I have to say they are quite nice to use, because they angle around your face and chin well. Now I just have to remember to use the thing.

As your neck and decolletage have minimal fat under the skin, it stands to reason that, like the back of your hands, they will wrinkle more and earlier than other parts of your body.
I use Prai (very affordable) which was part of the 2018 M&S Christmas advent beauty box and found it quite effective, however, I don't have sun-damaged skin as I'm very fair and don't sunbathe, so that might account for fewer wrinkles.
Try a small pot and see if it works for you. It won't undo years of damage but might go some way to lessen the visibility.
Sold on eBay and many High Street stores which may be cheaper than M&S. A little goes a long way and it has 5* reviews.
Good luck.

A friend used to lower her driving position so that she had to raise her chin to see clearly through her car windscreen. I always wondered why, until she told me.
No turkey wattle.
