Do You Have Tech Neck? We Can Help!

Let's admit it. We may splurge on high-end skincare to take care of our face and bodies but often neglect the neck. I, for one, was guilty of this for a long time. And as I slathered my face with expensive potions and creams, I typically overlooked my neck, only to remember every now and then to include it. I'll never forget when a coworker noticed my dry neck one day and brought it to my attention. It was an eye-opening experience. I was fixated on the lines, the dryness, and how much older my neck looked compared to my face. I knew it was time to do something about it!

Here's the hard truth about the neck. The skin on your neck and decolletage is thinner and has less collagen than your face and body. As a result, it doesn't produce much oil; therefore, it is prone to dryness. Unfortunately, the dryness of winter is upon us - in addition to the lack of attention to this area - and can lead to premature aging. Not to mention "tech neck" or "text neck," when we're constantly looking down at our devices, adding on the permanent lines, sagging, crepiness and wrinkling. Yikes!

Here are some of my favorite products to help rejuvenate the neck for a youthful, more lifted appearance:
