Most neck lines are caused by overexposure to the sun. It may have been inadvertent. You might have shielded your face with hats or sun blocks, while forgetting how often your neck was exposed. You see, UV rays of sunlight cause increased production and activity of free radical molecules. Free radicals are naturally present in the cells of the skin. They perform some necessary functions, such as the destruction of intercellular bacteria. They are also referred to as reactive oxygen species. They are basically oxygen molecules that are missing an electron. Sometimes, they decide to steal electrons form cellular membranes, fibers or DNA strands. When that occurs, it can lead to the production of a wrinkle, an age spot or a skin cancer cell. There’s really no way to determine which will happen, which is why it is so important to use proper protection when you are out in the sun. Because most people are aware of the role that the sun plays in wrinkle formation and because dermatologists at one time said that all of the over 90% of wrinkles were caused by the sun, almost all of the anti-aging products on the market and many cosmetics contain sunscreens. But, sunscreen will not help reverse neck lines or other wrinkles. The body’s natural defense mechanism for preventing and reversing free radical damage is called an antioxidant. Within the skin’s cells are a number of antioxidants. There are a large number of coenzyme Q10 particles, but their numbers are quickly depleted during UV exposure. It is possible to supplement the amount of coenzyme Q10 in the skin, with topically applied creams, as long as the size of the COQ10 particles is small enough to penetrate through the skin’s outer layers. It won’t do much good if it just sits on the surface. Good COQ10 creams should help fade neck lines by about 30% over the course of three months. If you want something faster, look for a cream that also contains functional keratin. Functional keratin is a protein complex that has been shown to improve firmness by over 40% after only 18 days of use. Skin tightening will reduce wrinkles. That’s basically how a face lift works. Another ingredient that is beneficial for firming sagging skin is called RIGIN. It is a peptide formula, which is similar to a protein formula, but has a shorter chain of amino acids. RIGIN has also been shown to improve firmness by 40% and is particularly effective for neck lines. It can be found in some of the better deep hydrating creams. Functional Keratin and COQ10 can be found in day creams and nighttime moisturizers. There are also under eye serums and deep cleansing masks that contain them. With the ingredients available today, there is no reason that anyone should look older than they feel. Of course, it takes a good manufacturer to put them all together and create a nourishing cream. The surgical procedures for reducing neck lines are expensive and risky. Good anti-aging creams are affordable and as long as they contain safe ingredients, there is no risk associated with their use.
