7 Body Parts That Reveal Your Age
Neck
No matter how diligent you are about protecting your face from wrinkles, you might forget to bring that SPF down to your neck. Applying sunscreen to your exposed skin every day can keep sun damage at bay, but it won’t prevent all signs of aging. “‘Turkey neck’ is the term used to describe skin laxity that occurs as we age under the chin and upper neck area,” says Dr. Papantoniou. “This develops from a combination of volume loss and skin laxity.” If the loose skin is bothering you, ask a dermatologist about Ultherapy, a noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound to tighten the skin, she suggests. Other options include Thermage, botulinum toxin injections for platysmal bands, and topical neck anti-aging creams that contain ingredients like retinol, antioxidants, and peptides.
