From wrinkles to sun spots, your skin changes as you age. While these changes are most noticeable on your face, they can occur anywhere on your skin, including your neck.
Sagging neck skin occurs as you age due to a combination of factors. Your skin naturally loses elasticity over time, making it less bouncy and plump. Additionally, damaging environmental factors, such as UV rays and pollutants, can wear on your skin over time, harming it.
"Two important things to remember: prevention and correction. Prevent signs of aging on the neck with daily sunscreen, applied everywhere, including the sides and back of the neck, especially if your hair is short or worn up. And correct those aging signs by treating your neck with the same products as you do for the face: firming ampoules, serum and cream."

The skin on your neck is one of the first places that age-related changes appear. This area has some of the thinnest skin on your body, and it also has fewer oil glands than the skin on your face. As a result, this skin is more likely to lose elasticity and become dry and dehydrated.
Other factors, such as gravity and posture, can also impact the tightness of neck skin. In today’s digital era, constantly looking at phones or computers with a tilted head can cause neck skin to fold and sag prematurely. We all tend to suffer from tech-neck, causing skin in the Y-zone to fold and sag prematurely.
Unfortunately, even though this fragile skin area is extremely susceptible to age-related changes, most people don’t use skincare products on their neck. Anti-aging skincare routines should always include the neck to help keep this skin firm, healthy, and youthful.
"The Y-zone supporting muscles are less resistant to those of the face. Neck skin, thin and poor in collagen and elastin, is more exposed to premature aging and loss of tone." - Dr Bucci, Certified Dermatologist.

Have you ever thought about exercising your neck? Neck exercises can help prevent sagging neck skin by toning and firming the muscles under your skin. Since your muscles reside in a layer underneath your skin, neck exercises won’t actually change your skin, but it can improve circulation to your neck which makes it look tighter.

One reason skin gets saggy and loses elasticity is because it’s dehydrated. When your skin isn’t adequately nourished, your cells become slack and wrinkly. The older you get, the harder it becomes to lock in moisture, so upping your moisturization routine as you age may be necessary.
