It's a normal sign of getting older: sagging neck skin. It may appear as early as a woman's 30s, or as late as her 50s, for the especially lucky ones among us.
But what causes the neck skin to lose its firmness? The answer is a combination of factors, from genetics to lifestyle habits.
According to an article in the Globe and Mail, exposure to UV rays, smoking and genes all play a role in why skin loses its elasticity. Additionally, skin pigmentation may have something to do with it.
"People with fair skin color are at higher risk of showing signs of aging earlier than those with darker complexions," according to the news source.
While prevention efforts may be too little, too late for women already beginning to experience loose neck skin, there are several non-invasive treatments to help turn back the clock.
For instance, SkinCareBase.org reports that strengthening the neck muscles may help give the appearance of firm neck skin.
Additionally, there are a number of creams on the market that contain natural ingredients and antioxidants to help keep women looking their best.
