Your morning routine of massaging the best neck cream onto your decolletage then sitting down for a nice strong cup of coffee may be counterintuitive, as the caffeinated beverage could be contributing to saggy jowls.
An article on MSNBC's Today Health reports that alcohol, sugary foods and caffeine can all suck moisture from the skin, leading to wrinkles and a dull complexion.
"Alcohol and caffeine act like a diuretic and prevent you from holding on to water, so your skin looks sort of prune-like. It can get dry and get washed out," said Deborah Wattenberg, quoted by the news source.
Self Magazine reports that sugar causes wrinkles by increasing the amount of advanced glycation end products in the skin. These molecules accumulate and weaken collagen and elastin, the fibers and substances in the skin that make it resilient and supple. The degradation of these naturally-occurring skin plumpers is known to lead to wrinkles and saggy jowls.
Women who want to avoid loose neck skin should be sure to eat a healthy diet and use neck creams with antioxidants and emollients.
