I have to say that over the years I pretty much ignored the skin on my neck. I moisturised it rarely. I thought it could take care of itself, it always had.
Then, a couple of years ago I was taken out for a top-down spin around Richmond (as you do, I'm told) and we took top's-down-selfies (as you do, I'm told) and - da daa daaahhh ...
I saw that something weird was going on with my neck!
I think it's called "aging".

Well, of course, the damage was already done and I don't think anything but a neck lift can reverse the aging process! I'm not someone who "lifts" anything.
So that won't be happening.
I've since moisturised the neck area regularly, but maybe this is too-little, too-late. This is just making those folds, crevices and wrinkly bits look like well-moisturised folds, crevices and wrinkly bits.
I'm not convinced that a neck-specific cream can do anything more.
Is neck care all about prevention rather than repair?

Since The Richmond Experience I have been endeavouring to follow those known neck coverup tricks, like chunky necklaces and lots of scarfage and the like - but this only works when I remember.
Reaching for a neck coverup isn't yet hard-wired into my daily dressing routine.
And there is much evidence of my oversight in my post pics!

Have you used a neck-specific cream?
With good results?
I'd love to hear from you on this.
A la perchoine.
I don't think any creams work we just have to suck it up and accept it. I do enjoy Nora Ephron's book "I feel bad about my neck" it is a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear from you, Tracy, I'm with you. There is no neck-magic in the world!
DeleteI do love Nora's work, especially her screenwork, I've revisited her films an embarrassing number of times. Thanks for reminding me of her work - I've just downloaded a few on to Kindle!
