After Hours Skin Clinic

The Skincare Step We're All Missing


Listen Later

If you care about healthy, resilient skin long-term, your neck deserves the same attention as your face...and this episode explains why.

In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid explain how neck skin behaves differently and what actually supports it as we age, as well as why we might regret it if we don't give it the attention it needs.

Emma and Ellie break explain:

  • How neck skin differs from facial skin
  • Why the neck is thinner, more fragile and slower to heal
  • The role of the platysma muscle in neck ageing and how this affects the way it looks
  • “Tech neck” lines and repetitive creasing
  • Sun damage, fragrance and pigmentation (poikiloderma)
  • Why many people protect their face but forget their neck
  • Whether expensive “neck creams” actually work
  • The truth about retinol and tretinoin on the neck
  • In-clinic treatments: Botox, biostimulatory injectables, radiofrequency microneedling and surgery
  • What’s worth your money and what isn’t
  • They also discuss the powerful case study of a 92-year-old woman whose face looked decades younger than her neck, simply because she applied sunscreen to her face for 40 years but, cruicially, she never extended it downwards.

    If you want clearer, firmer, healthier-looking skin, don’t stop at your jawline!
