Neck creams – and one new favourite
Alice Hart-Davis discusses the importance of neck creams and reviews specific products designed to care for the neck and décolletage.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of her insights and experiences:
Why Neck Creams?
Aging Concerns: As we age, the neck becomes a common area of concern due to its thinner skin, fewer oil glands, and constant movement, which leads to dryness and wrinkles.
Special Care: Most dermatologists recommend extending facial skincare routines to the neck and décolletage. However, specific neck creams can address the unique needs of this area.
Importance of Using the Right Product
Oil Issues: Heavy, oily face creams may not be suitable for the neck, as they can cause thick lines known as necklace lines.
Lighter Formulas: A lighter gel cream is often recommended for the neck to avoid these issues and provide adequate hydration without clogging pores.
Product Review:
Prai Ageless Throat and Decolletage Cream
Price: Affordable and available at Boots.
Claims: Promises visible improvement within seven days.
Experience: Alice was skeptical of the claim but noticed a significant improvement after one week of use.
Texture and Application: Light, non-tacky gel cream with a bouncy texture. Absorbs quickly and provides hydration.
