Today, many people are connected to the office and their loved ones 24 hours a day, seven days per week through their cell phones. This modern habit may be contributing to loose neck skin, according to a recent report by WCVB TV, Boston's ABC affiliate.
Experts told the news source repetitive movements, such as craning the head to one side when one talks on the phone or looks down to read a text message, are likely to cause creases and wrinkles.
"One of the classic examples of that is people who sleep at night consistently on one side, they get those sleep wrinkles which are temporary initially but when repeated over the course of years they can become permanent with the loss of elasticity of skin," said dermatologist Robin Travers, quoted by WCVB.
Using a headset to talk on the phone may help prevent saggy jowls. Additionally, a Health.com article states that sleeping on one's back could be the best way to keep wrinkles at bay.
Neck cream and moisturizers are also known to keep skin healthy and looking youthful.
