Let’s talk forehead wrinkles. We all know that the dreaded lines are a normal part of the aging process. Time is not always on our side. But as it turns out, in this case, there are many things we can control—not only to prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place but also to treat existing lines. If there’s one great thing about aging, it’s that the older you get,...

“Turkey neck,” “neck wattle,” “double chin”... How can we love the skin below the chin with nicknames like that? Well, most of us don’t—but the reality is that saggy neck skin is a pretty inevitable result of aging and genetics, two things we have little control over. The skin on our necks is drier, thinner, and muscularly weaker than the skin on our faces—so, it’s especially prone to the effects...

There are plenty of nice things about getting older, but wrinkles on and around the lips are, unfortunately, not one of them. Whatever you may call them—lip lines, lipstick lines, or smoker’s lines—they’re all the same: pesky creases that surround the mouth as we age, which are greatly exacerbated by lifestyle factors. Although the mouth is one of the first spots to start showing signs of aging, we so often...

Did anyone else try the viral FaceApp when it came out? Highly controversial, yes, but possibly the worst part about it was the frighteningly realistic image of your future weathered self that’s forever seared into your brain. It’s fake, sure, but one thing they nailed in a very real way? The chest wrinkles. Although crepey skin usually makes an appearance there when we hit our 40s, it can show up...

Many women don’t think twice about spending half an hour (or longer) in front of the mirror to care for the skin on their faces. But, are you giving your décolletage the attention it deserves? The décolletage is a decidedly feminine body part. After all, it’s revealed to some degree by most of the necklines that we see today. Unfortunately, as we age, it can also be increasingly difficult to...

You know the feeling. You wake up one day and just can’t believe your eyes.... literally. Crow’s feet are one of the most common skin complaints, and they can show up as early as mid- to late-20s, deepening as years go on. But where do these unwelcome visitors come from, and how can we send them back where they belong? We’ve got the scoop. What Causes Crow’s Feet Around Your...

It’s some kind of cruel joke that the universe likes to play on us. You can’t sleep the night before something important, which only exacerbates the fact that you woke up with eyes puffier than cotton candy on a windy day. And if that wasn’t rough enough, we’re in a constant battle with the hands of time because aging only enhances the bags. It’s okay! Eye puffiness happens to the...

We’ve all been there. Maybe it happens a bit too often—maybe it’s just the norm at this point. Either way, under-eye bags are so much more than a nuisance; they can have a real effect on our self-confidence. But how do they get there? What can we do about them? Let’s discuss—so the next time someone gives you the dreaded “You look tired today,” you can hit ‘em with the...

We don’t think twice about spending 30 to 45 minutes — or more — in front of a mirror every day taking care of the skin on our faces. But do we give as much thought to the skin on our necks and chests (our décolletage)? We should.With today’s necklines getting lower and more revealing, keeping your décolletage youthful and fresh is more important than ever. This idea was summed...

Wrinkles on your face, neck, and chest are caused primarily by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the lower layers of your skin. But external factors can also have a profound impact on your skin’s natural support structure. External factors such as sun exposure, the cosmetics you use, and how often you wash your face, neck, and chest can cause wrinkles in the top layer of your skin.But even...
