A common cause of sagging necks is the use of electronics. Overexposure to these devices is causing what the industry has coined as “tech neck.” This results from looking down or forward at screens, which requires a constant state of contraction. This causes neck muscles to shorten, weaken, and shrink over time.

Sun damage is a significant environmental stressor that causes the neck and jawline to sag. Since sun damage robs your skin of collagen and elastin, prolonged exposure can accelerate sagging due to the lack of facial tissue support. While you can’t avoid the sun altogether, use sunscreen regularly.

A widespread cause of droopy necklines is not taking care of your neck skin. For some reason, most people stop their skincare routine at the jawline, rejecting the neck. As we age, our bodies decrease their natural collagen production, causing a loss of firmness and elasticity of the facial tissues. Poor diet, stress, and smoking can also affect your skin. To offset natural and environmental factors associated with aging, use a high-quality neck firming cream to give your skin the boost it needs to remain youthful!
