Is your cleanser giving you saggy jowls?


AgeZone for firm neck skin.

 


Everyone knows that using a cleanser that is too harsh can dry the skin out. That's why you'd never use your teen's acne face wash, right? But there are certain ingredients present in most cleansers – even those labeled 'mild' – that may leave the epidermis parched, and potentially exacerbate loose neck skin.


Sodium lauryl sulfate is probably the most common of these moisture-suckers. It’s the chemical that gives soaps and shampoos their lathery texture, but can also have a drying effect.


In an article in Feel Good Style, aesthetician Adriane Benson recommended oil- or gel-based cleansers on the neck and chest area. These products can dissolve dirt and impurities without sapping the natural oils from the skin.


A piece in Web MD also reported that sodium lauryl sulfate may be bad for aging skin, and recommended cleansers with a glycerin or plant oil base.


In addition to using appropriate cleansers for loose neck skin, ladies and gentlemen of a certain age may want to consider using the best neck creams that contain antioxidants and emollients for a more supple neck and chest.
