How to keep from going under the knife

As we age, gravity takes a larger effect on the nature of our skin. Commonly, men and women in their late forties and early fifties begin to see their skin sag around the jaw and neck. It is a sign of age and something society is determined to defy. There are corrective surgeries available in the form of neck lifts, where surgeons physically reposition the flesh of the neck and jaw and remove excess or use thread lift procedures to tuck excess skin out of view. If surgery is not feasible for you, it might be worth trying some home remedies designed to tighten the skin.

First, it is important to remember to treat your neck the same as your face. Daily washings, exfoliation and moisturizing are a key part of preventative action and keeping those youthful qualities present. If you’re using a skin smoothing lotion on your face, be sure to use it on your neck as well. The best thing you can do to prevent neck sagging is to always hold your head high and stand with good posture. This encourages the neck to stay straight, keeping the skin from folding where it should not.

Mixtures such as Aspirin and green tea mask can help lift sagging skin and also help it to feel rejuvenated. It’s an easy concoction, using ingredients found around the house, and can also be made in advance. Aspirin and green tea masks work best when used as part of a daily skin care routine. Here is what you’ll need to make your own.

- 1 regular strength Aspirin
- 1 tsp of green tea macha
- 2 tsp of full fat unflavored/unsweetened yogurt, olive oil, or almond oil
- 1 tsp of honey

First, grind your Aspirin into a fine powder, and then mix all listed ingredients together until they form a smooth paste. Apply to the face and neck, and leave for about 15 minutes. When time is up, rinse the paste off using cool water and then wash and moisturize as normal. The active ingredients in Aspirin will help reduce susceptibility to acne while helping to tighten skin.

It’s important that only one aspirin is used per mixture, otherwise it could severely dry out the skin. If you do not have acne problems, the recipe should be doubled per Aspirin used. For example, if you use two aspirin in the mixture, you should use two teaspoons of honey and green tea and four teaspoons of yogurt/olive oil/almond oil.

This remedy works best for minor sagging of the neck skin. If you’ve got intense sagging or wrinkling, consult with a doctor or plastic surgeon, since cosmetic surgery may be the only option that will rectify the situation.
