Tried-and-true skin care ingredients may reduce the appearance of saggy jowls


AgeZone for firm neck skin.

 


Many women regularly monitor cosmetic counters and beauty magazines seeking out the newest in skin care products that promise to firm neck skin and provide a youthful looking glow.


While some of these products may have something to offer, there are many tried-and-true skin-firming ingredients found in skin care products that won't break the bank. Moreover, you won't have to feel like a guinea pig for cosmetics companies.


For example, ladies have been using olive oils and extracts for centuries for its nourishing and moisturizing properties. Even Cleopatra was thought to rub the fruity oil on her skin to keep it soft under the hot desert sun.


Vitamin E is another classic skin care ingredient. You may have memories of your grandmother breaking open capsules of the oil to use on her loose neck skin before bed. Today, many of the best neck creams contain this nourishing antioxidant in a much less greasy form.


Placing cucumber slices over the eyes to reduce puffiness gained popularity in the 1960s, and those mod women may have been on to something. The fruit is thought to give a cooling effect that may help soothe redness and inflammation.
