The most common causes behind saggy skin in the neck are age and sun exposure, in addition to sudden\/rapid weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first two options, age and sun exposure lead to a loss of protein &#8211; specifically collagen and elastin &#8211; which causes the skin to loosen and become saggy. In the case of rapid weight loss, your size simply reduces too quickly for your skin to tighten and catch up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The skin is the largest organ in the human body with the ability to expand and shrink. During puberty and due to muscle or weight gain, the skin expands to accommodate your new size. If you lose muscle or weight, it can also shrink. However, if you lose fat too quickly, the damaged <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/collagen-for-weight-loss\/\">collagen<\/a> and elastin fibers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4311578\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) in the skin have no time to repair and the skin doesn\u2019t get a chance to catch up with your new size. This means you end up with saggy skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these factors, the skin on your neck can also become loose and saggy due to aspects such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genetics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking and\/or environmental factors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weak neck muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Tighten_Neck_Skin_After_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>How to Tighten Neck Skin After Weight Loss\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated above, quick weight loss is a huge culprit in the development of the dreaded \u2018turkey neck\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies on bariatric surgery and body contouring patients have found that quick and massive weight loss &#8211; up to 100+ pounds &#8211; can leave patients with significant amounts of loose-hanging excess skin and tissue that can only be addressed through surgery (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6188338\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33145720\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Exercising a muscle tones both the muscle and the skin around it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marie Claire, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doing some face, chin, and neck exercises boosts blood circulation, stimulates collagen production, and helps tone the skin, which leads to fresher, toned, and more healthy and youthful-looking skin (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marieclaire.co.uk\/beauty\/how-to\/anti-ageing-facial-exercises-94678\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). That being said, it\u2019s important to note that scientific debate on whether such exercises work remains limited and conflicting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a systematic review published in 2013 in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aesthetic Surgery Journal, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">researchers stated that while some studies have shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/facial-exercises-for-cheeks\/\">facial exercises<\/a> prove effective in facial rejuvenation, most of these findings are purely subjective and could be based on bias. Therefore, they called for more in-depth and larger trials to determine if and whether facial exercises are truly effective (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24327764\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, in a pilot study published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAMA Dermatology<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, researchers examined the relationship between a 20-week facial exercise program with middle-aged women&#8217;s facial appearance. At the end of the program, researchers concluded that 30 minutes of facial exercises daily or every other day can help improve mid-face and lower-face fullness and neck volume scale (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5885810\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that such a routine may help minimize saggy skin around the jowls, chin, and throat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5885810\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some claim that face and neck exercises may work to improve the appearance of these areas, some are clearly against it, meaning that more research on the matter is required. If you still want to give facial exercises a try, here are two simple neck-tightening exercises you can try today:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neck rotations &#8211; Simply rotate your head slowly and gently, moving it from side to side without allowing it to turn completely to either side. Think slow, small movements while keeping your chin level with the ground and don\u2019t let it drop to your chest. Do this about 10 times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neck Lifts &#8211; Start by lying on your bed with your head hanging over the edge and your face looking toward the ceiling.

It is believed that as this unappealing skin is caused by flaccid muscles, loose skin, and fat, you may be able to make it firm by exercising your neck with facial yoga moves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WebMD<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this practice can improve facial expression and appearance while also improving facial muscle tone, which improves the thickness of these muscles. As previously stated, thicker muscles help boost the firmness of the skin around them and can help keep gravity from pulling the fat and skin down (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/fitness-exercise\/what-facial-yoga\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One facial yoga move you can try is to engage your neck with your mouth close<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Give your neck some love by applying serum and moisturizer, just like on your face by following the cleanse-and-tone routine, then finishing with some cream application to boost blood circulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also try to use creams, oils, and lotions that contain ingredients such as retinoids,\u00a0 the chemical derivatives of vitamin A that consist of tretinoin, adapalene, and retinoic acid. A study examining the effects of retinoids in the treatment of skin aging found that this compound helps boost collagen production in sun-aged skin (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2699641\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that collagen can help when applied topically, but mostly when ingested orally.
