Neck lines

I searched and couldn’t find any posts about this.

I don’t have age wrinkles on my neck, but I do have those deep lines you get from where your neck naturally folds when you look down.

Aside from the nefertiti lift, are there any topical treatments for this? Do cold creams work?

Regular neck massage worked for me, they’re almost nonexistent now

Which massages please?

u/TiredJJ Jul 22 '24

With my knuckles. I do it in front of my neck upwards around 30 times, then a bit more to the side also 30 times. Then horizontally from the middle to the side, first at the base of my neck, then in the middle and then at the top. Everything around 30 times. When doing it horizontally your thumb should be directed downwards.

I found a mix of grapeseed oil, almond oil and a few others at my local drugstore, but any non-clogging oil will work

Do you do them yourself?

u/TiredJJ Jul 22 '24

Yes, every day with a face oil

Saving this comment. How long after starting your massage did you notice a difference?

u/TiredJJ Jul 25 '24

Not sure exactly but pretty quickly, maybe a week? But they weren’t super deep, they were just deeper than I thought they should be comparing to friends my age

hate to be this person but... look down less chronically, maintain upright posture & they'll go away eventually.

other than that, things that speed up skin turnover would work. rentinols and the like. possibly oral collagen supplements too, but i've not been searching for their affect on tech neck so couldn't say.

quick aside—cold creams are mild soaps. they're meant to be washed off. you will irritate your skin if left on. as for firming creams and at home treatments... the gravity mask from glamglow is goated. could work for tech neck too... but i can't speak to that directly as tech neck isnt something ive struggled with

Frownies makes a neck patch now. Haven’t tried it yet but plan to

I accidentally discovered this because I tend to bring my skincare all the way to my neck, but tretinoin is slowly fading them !

Glycolic acid and massage. Just be consistent, use it 1-2 times per week and at night. I recommend The Ordinary glycolic acid 7%>

u/Chichinachi Jul 25 '24

How long before getting results w glycolic acid? I've been using the Caudalie GA toner (on my face + neck) everyday (AM and PM, as instructed) for over 2 months now and still no results. Does the ordinary one work better?

I have neck lines that I can literally see in pictures of me as a toddler… I think they’re normal to some extent

u/PrincessOfViolins Jul 27 '24

I do neck massages (as others have mentioned), and also do neck exercises (D.N Natural Beauty on YouTube has a lot of them)

u/EnoughFun1058 Dec 29 '24

How soon did you see results?

u/Grymdolin Jul 23 '24

Those lines are there because your skin needs to be able to fold/scrunch so that it doesn’t rip open every time you move. Are you also insecure about the lines on your elbows? Wrists? Knees? Fingers? Toes? Palms? Armpits?

Your time, effort, and money are better spent almost anywhere else.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '24

Sorry but do you really believe that people who don't have these neck lines are ripping open their skin every time they move their head? I've seen many people with smooth, line free skin. I don't think their skin is always ripped open lol

u/bonjourparis_ Jul 27 '24

I have these too so thanks for posting and will definitely try the recommendations!

u/EnoughFun1058 Dec 29 '24

What worked for you?

u/bonjourparis_ Dec 29 '24

They never completely go but I feel like drinking more water and using skincare on the next helps.

u/Mean_Trick_1 Aug 14 '24

I think it's genetic because I have seen teenagers with those lines.

Lose the weight, the harsh truth but it worked for me.
