Using a quality cream can help reduce neck wrinkles.
Many people assume that neck wrinkles are an unavoidable fact of life. While it’s true that the chance of wrinkles increases with age, there are several ways you can help reduce the prominence of wrinkles and help your neck maintain a more youthful appearance. Strategies to treat wrinkles range from simple lifestyle changes to surgery.

An important way to control neck wrinkles is diet and exercise. In addition to eating right and participating in activities that work the various muscle groups in your body, including neck exercises in your daily routine will help minimize wrinkles not only in your neck but also in your upper chest. Exercise helps increase circulation and maintain a constant flow of oxygen to the tissues. This, in turn, helps remove toxins that tend to deplete the skin’s collagen. There are several simple neck exercises that can be done in almost any setting.
Proper diet and exercise can help prevent neck wrinkles.
Along with exercise, developing good skin care practices will also help minimize the appearance of neck wrinkles. Using anti-wrinkle creams that help moisturize your skin and replace some of the collagen that is lost over time will help keep your neck looking healthy. At the same time, healthy skin will be less susceptible to sagging, one of the reasons why wrinkles appear. A good quality anti-wrinkle cream used for wrinkles on the face works just as well on the neck.
Sleeping with too many pillows under your head can cause neck wrinkles.
Another effective approach to treating wrinkles is to change some personal habits. Many people tend to look down when reading a book, watching television, or sitting in front of a computer screen. The result is that over time wrinkles are created in the skin of the neck. Adjusting your line of sight so that you are looking forward instead of down will go a long way in preventing wrinkles from forming. Make sure TV and computer screens are at eye level, and use a bookshelf to position the book so your chin is up instead of down.

Even something as simple as getting rid of a few pillows can help reduce neck wrinkles. Too many pillows under your head while sleeping causes the same puckering that occurs when looking down at a computer or television screen. Using a single pillow that supports your neck but doesn’t lift your head will not only help minimize wrinkles, but also decrease the potential for neck and back pain.
There is always the option of treating neck wrinkles with plastic surgery, so keep in mind that the process will have to be repeated after several years. As with any type of surgery, there is also a risk of infection and other complications. Try other methods first; You may find that they will sufficiently minimize your wrinkles and cost much less in the long run.
