Sticking My Neck Out



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.

  1. 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.

    1. It's great to hear from you, Tracy, I'm with you. There is no neck-magic in the world!
      I 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!
