Hello everyone!!!
I have am thrilled to find this forum....I really have been quite impressed at how much you can learn from this site. I have a question. I am 42 yrs old and regretfully just started to take care of my skin....(no one ever told me the importance of moisturizing etc) anyway, I am hoping that it is not too late!!! I have just recently noticed my neck... not the wrinkle rings ( I wish that was my only problem) but sagging, wrinkly skin. When I turn my neck it looks even more noticeable it looks so much older than what it should be. I have read several different opinions on here, some say there is no way but surgery to correct it, others say firming exercises, some say exercises could make it worse??? I cannot afford surgery, and even if I could, I am not sure that I want to go "under" unless I absolutely had to. I worked in a medical facility and have seem many complications from surgery (not cosmetic) so that is pretty much out. Am I left to just deal with this, or can I do something to help the appearance. I started in Dec. using Oil of Olay neck night cream, used that all up, no difference, then I used Loreal neck firming cream, no results, then I tried Avon anew thermafirm, used that all up no results. I am now using Wei East white lotus neck cream, just started that so not sure if it will help ( I doubt it at this point) any suggestions would be appreciated. My routine is Wash am and pm with Alpha Hyrdox, then I tried Avon Elixir (all gone no results) I am now using Vitamin C serum brand 40 Carrots not sure how good this brand is, I also use a retinol eye cream. My skin is very oily too!! Well thank you all in advance for any helpful info.. Fawnie I have read so many of your posts and find you so helpful, I feel like I know you LOL
