Skin aging is totally normal, and is going to happen to all of us at some point. It\u2019s not something to fear or fight\u2014but it is <\/em>something we can slow down.<\/p>\n

Yes, of course<\/em> we should embrace our natural beauty as we age\u2014but who says we can\u2019t add candles to our cake with a tight, smooth neck?<\/p>\n

A loose neck (or \u201cturkey hanger,\u201d as Lauryn calls it) isn\u2019t exactly what comes to mind when we think of graceful aging. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to keep your neck plump, firm, and youthful well into the next chapter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And even if sagging isn\u2019t an issue yet, there is no time like the present to start a preventative skincare routine. Instead of spending thousands on expensive anti-aging procedures later, let\u2019s invest in our future beauty now with a few simple, effective steps.<\/p>\n

How to Tighten Neck Skin Naturally: Insider Beauty Tips<\/h2>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll first explain what causes loose skin on the neck. Once you have a good understanding of what you\u2019re up against, then we\u2019ll figure out how to tackle it. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll lay out the best tools, products, and practices to keep your neck snatched.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Causes Loose Neck Skin?<\/h3>\n

Collagen and Elastin Breakdown<\/h4>\n

Every part of our body experiences aging, including our neck skin. In fact, the neck is one of the areas that ages the fastest. Here\u2019s the deal: Neck aging starts with collagen and elastin breakdown\u2014these are the sources of our skin\u2019s structure and stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Without these essential proteins, skin can\u2019t hold its shape. Instead of looking youthful and taut, skin sags and loses firmness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we get older, collagen production slows down and elastin fibers loosen naturally. That said, certain factors can speed up aging, such as sun exposure, smoking, and poor nutrition.<\/p>\n

Thinning Skin\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Collagen and elastin breakdown can also cause the skin to thin as we age. The structure is less dense, so the neck shows signs of aging like sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and even transparency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we mentioned, this is normal to a degree, but there are things that can make it worse. Sun damage is a big<\/em> one, but we\u2019ll get to that later in the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not eating enough skin-supporting foods like protein, vitamin C, vitamin E, and fatty acids? Your skin won\u2019t have the building blocks it needs to repair and protect itself. That means visible signs of aging show up way sooner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"How<\/figure>\n

Fat Loss without Muscle Tone\u00a0<\/h4>\n

If you lose weight really quickly, your skin may show it. First of all, you should be super proud of yourself on your weight loss journey\u2014but don\u2019t forget strength training.<\/p>\n

When you drop weight fast, but don\u2019t replace it with muscle, you may see loose skin. Your skin laxity will<\/em> snap it back some; however, muscle tone is essential to fill out the rest of the space for plump, youthful-looking skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sun Exposure\u00a0<\/h4>\n

If you didn\u2019t learn it from Lauryn\u2019s book Get the F*ck Out of the Sun<\/em>, we\u2019re telling you now: The sun is bad news for your skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UV rays hinder your beauty goals in multiple ways, but skin damage is one of the worst side effects of sun exposure. The UV radiation damages skin cell DNA, proteins, and<\/em> membranes, leading to loose, wrinkled skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re serious about slowing skin aging, sunscreen isn\u2019t optional\u2014it\u2019s your daily non-negotiable. For more on this, make sure to check out these Tips for Staying Safe in the Sun.<\/p>\n

Looking Down at Our Phones\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Ever heard of tech neck? It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: wrinkles and sagging caused by constantly looking down at phones and laptops.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true\u2014this repeated motion can lead to neck creases and saggy skin. Don\u2019t know how to spot it? It typically appears as horizontal lines across the neck, vertical sagging, and sometimes drooping under the jaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basically, if we want to keep our neck skin tight, it may be time to rethink those screen habits.<\/p>\n

Bad Posture\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Posture and neck positioning have a lot to do with how snatched your neck looks. We\u2019re meant to look forward, which puts way less strain on our neck muscles and prevents stretching of connective tissue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Straining on your neck muscles can lead to muscle weakness and loss of tone. And without strong, healthy connective tissue, skin sagging is inevitable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Posture is so important for both the way you feel and <\/em>look day-to-day. Don\u2019t underestimate its impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Poor Sleeping Positions<\/h4>\n

Yes, unfortunately, we are <\/em>telling you that you can develop sagging skin even as you sleep. Think about it: When we sleep, we maintain pretty much the same position for 6-10 hours. That\u2019s the perfect time for fine lines, wrinkles, and creases to form.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re not careful, we can stretch collagen and elastin fibers too. And blocking proper circulation can prevent nutrient delivery to the neck, leading to more skin health problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, instead of crashing in whatever position feels comfy, consider whether your sleep posture could be sabotaging your beauty goals.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/figure>\n

How to Naturally Tighten Neck Skin<\/h3>\n

Neck Stretches and Exercises<\/h4>\n

Neck stretches and exercises aren\u2019t just for relieving tension, they can actually tighten the neck skin, too. As you work out those neck muscles, you build tone and improve blood flow to the skin. This is great for supporting skin structure and collagen production.<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re doing face yoga, mix in some neck stretches as well. We recommend the baby cobra, simple chin lifts, platysma exercises, and even some resistance training.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sunscreen and Protective Clothing\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Sun protection is essential to maintaining a tight neck. We can\u2019t stop skin aging, but we can definitely <\/em>slow it down by protecting our skin from UV rays.<\/p>\n

Ensure that when you\u2019re applying your TSC Caffeinated Sunscreen in the morning, that you take the product all the way down to your neck and decolletage. And re-coat every few hours. (Yes, we know what you\u2019re thinking\u2014here\u2019s our post on how to reapply sunscreen when you have makeup on.)<\/p>\n

For added protection, wear brimmed hats or even light scarves to keep your skin shielded from potential sun damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re not used to wearing SPF every day, now is the perfect time to start. TSC\u2019s SPF is buy 1, get 1. Stock up now.<\/p>\n

Face Massage and Ice Rolling<\/h4>\n

First of all, a daily face massage and cold therapy session feels AMAZING. But aside from feeling good, it\u2019s actually a great way to lift and tighten your neck skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It increases blood flow to support collagen and elastin production while promoting lymphatic drainage to ditch any swelling. The cold temperature from the TSC Ice Roller can also constrict blood vessels for an instantly snatched appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the best neck massage tool, definitely grab the TSC Face Massager. We know it says \u201cface massager,\u201d but you can take this pink wonder anywhere you want on your body for an instant spa session. If you\u2019re always on the go, get the best of both worlds with the Mint Roller.<\/p>\n

Red Light Therapy\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared light wavelengths to safely penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, improving nutrient delivery, and reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n

Yes, it can do that<\/em> much! Just use a red light therapy tool like the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite BodyWare Pro LED device or the Lightstim wand. If you see as much improvement as we do, you can also take your red light devices to other parts of your body.<\/p>\n

\"TSC<\/figure>\n

Microneedling<\/h4>\n

A microneedler uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. This may sound scary, but it\u2019s not painful or damaging at all. Instead, it triggers your body\u2019s natural healing response to stimulate collagen and elastin production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basically, microneedling stimulates your skin to regenerate itself. It actually thickens the skin while improving overall structure, too. Oh, and all those micro-injuries are like little channels for serums and oils to sink into. This makes your skincare products all the more effective.<\/p>\n

Retinol\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Okay, we\u2019ve given you lots of ways to get your skin tightened with various high-tech beauty tools, but what about skincare?<\/p>\n

There are SO many great anti-aging skincare ingredients to look out for. Think: hyaluronic acid, peptides, caffeine, and, the best of all, retinol.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can hear Lauryn herself talk with a board-certified dermatologist about retinol in this episode of the GTFOOS podcast, but trust us. This is a product you want in your skincare routine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a vitamin A derivative that stimulates collagen production and cell turnover, keeping your skin youthful and strong. If you need a recommendation, we love Dr. Dennis Gross\u2019s Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Wrinkle Treatment for the neck.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Vitamin C is another great topical treatment to fight skin sagging. It naturally protects against sun damage while supporting the production of essential proteins for strong, tight skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our secret trick? Use TSC De-Puffing Face Oil, which is full of natural sources of vitamin C, with the face massager, ice roller, and a gua sha tool. It\u2019s the key to success for a smoother, more luxurious (and more beneficial) neck treatment.<\/p>\n

Collagen and Peptides Supplement\u00a0<\/h4>\n

If it wasn\u2019t obvious by now, collagen is key to keeping your skin plump and wrinkle-free. And peptides are a big part of the equation as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Peptides are amino acids that tell your body to produce more collagen and elastin. You can eat foods with collagen and peptides, but we recommend a supplement to ensure you\u2019re getting your daily dose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lauryn loves this Nose to Tail collagen. It\u2019s a great choice for nourishing your skin from the inside out. Perfect for getting your protein in and for tightening your neck and keeping your skin, hair, and nails super healthy.<\/p>\n

Better Posture and Sleeping Position\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Finally, be mindful of your posture and sleeping position. To avoid tech neck, keep your screens at or just above eye level to prevent slouching or bending downward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for sleep? Sleep only on your back with your head slightly elevated. This will prevent swelling and wrinkles while evenly stretching your neck muscles. It\u2019s the best choice to keep your face and neck smooth and tight.<\/p>\n

A few extra steps will do wonders to keep your face and <\/em>neck sculpted, smooth, and radiant for years to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
