Derm Shares 3 Best Tips To Fight A Crepey, Wrinkled Neck After 40: ‘Slow Down The Progression Of Aging’

As we age, one of the most noticeable signs of aging often appears on the neck — where the skin can become crepey, thin, and wrinkled, especially after 40. This delicate area naturally loses collagen and elasticity faster than other parts of the body, making it more prone to sagging and fine lines. The good news? There are effective treatments and skincare solutions available that can help firm, smooth, and rejuvenate the neck, restoring a more youthful appearance with consistent care.

According to board-certified dermatologist Maren Locke, there are three effective ways to minimize these changes and maintain a firmer, more youthful neckline. Here, she shares her top three anti-aging tips to help you combat crepey skin and ‘slow down the progression of aging.’

“There are three things that seem to happen to your skin out of nowhere when you turn 40,” Locke explains. These include: Turkey neck, lax skin that forms in the center of the neck. Crepey chest, fine lines, and folds on the décolletage, especially noticeable in the morning. Jowls, sagging skin along the jawline that becomes more pronounced with time.
