Necks

Polo necks or scarves are the only way ???

I’d bought two jars of Prai cream when on offer at Boots for £10 each couple months ago . At first I was very optimistic after reading their claims and I used it faithfully every single morning and night for two weeks going along with the instructions as said on the tub . Well ....it’s made absolutely no difference whatsoever, in any which way , no way . What a complete waste of money . I’m so glad I didn’t pay the full price, so don’t waste your money . I’m using it up now on the rest of my face where I think it’s needed most , but it’s not made no difference there either , still paying lot attention to my neck ,but I look no different , I’m still just as I were . As BlueBell says , the ‘ stars ‘ have great faces but not their necks , and if they can’t achieve a good neck as they get older with all their money what hope is there for the rest of us .

The Prai cream is good though, I like it (don’t care if it’s the psychological impact, or that Nivea or whatever would ‘do the same job’) - sometimes you should treat yourself to something that has the feel good factor and enjoy using it!

Interesting thread - I noticed my neck had "given up" only last week!
?

My knees, however, went south years ago. It makes no sense to me, the various ways we age.

Look we are aging embrace it All the creams and potions are a ploy to part you with money, a neck cannot be salvaged Look at some of the ‘stars’ with faces like smoothed out ironing boards and then look at their necks
If it’s that bad tie a jaunty scarf around it

I commiserate Shirleyw! I really noticed the problem about 4 years ago when I lost weight,the skin just didnt spring back for the first time ever! For the first time i understood need for scarves ?.
It's not a good thing but the only thing that has got rid of them has been putting weight on over lockdown. I'd rather be slimmer.
I quite like skin products although would never buy anything over £30.
I remember when a few deeper wrinkles appeared plus quite puffy eyes I started reading on cosmetic procedures,no thankyou,too scary!
There was a very interesting programme on BBC a while ago, The Truth about Cosmetic surgery. They took a more scientific approach to non invasive facial treatments that can still cost thousands of pounds. Peoples faces were scanned before and after and they also used before and after photos and asked people if they could see the difference.
Those taking part all felt the benefit of treatments,some more than others. The science showed there was very little difference to their skin!
Apparently skin creams do make very little difference to lines and saggy bits,I suppose they just make them bit softer!
I think most of us have products we prefer and the rest is down to genetics and sun protection.
One area I do find interesting is influence of actors and celebrities. I think maybe we feel we are of an age where we are more realistic of the processes gone through to make a celebrity in their 60s look 30 years younger. That said I was watching a series on Netflix and found myself noticing a British actress. She was excellent in the role but I found myself noticing how real she looked,ie her age. I felt quite awful for being aware of it. It did make me realise just how unusual it is to see someone in that career genuinely look their age. We are so used to the line free youthful albeit slightly strange looking older celebrities. It's so sad.

I didn't even know there was a cream for necks.

I googled it ...seems it's the Canadian equivalent of our gutters...is that right CanadianGran? I had visions of it being a cosmetic procedure!

What are 'eavestroughs'?

Funny this subject should come up. Just today my 5 yr old granddaughter told me my neck was 'crinkly'.

I told the husband we shall have to put new eavestroughs on hold while I research neck lifts. Priorities, and all.
