Although you may have a great skincare regimen, many people often forget about one area of their skin that quickly shows signs of aging.
The experts at Absolute Collagen have found the latest skin concern is the neck and décolletage, also known as the chest region.
Dr. Dave Reilly explained why this is such a common skincare concern and how best to support your skin.
"From 25 onwards, you begin to produce less and less collagen. Collagen is a major component of our skin's connective tissue, preventing wrinkles and boosting elasticity," he said.

This is exactly why you may start to notice more fine lines and wrinkles in your late twenties.
“Interestingly, poor posture can also contribute to the appearance of necklines as repeatedly looking down can cause your neck to crease, which can potentially become a permanent wrinkle."
With that being said, your mom probably knew what she was talking about when she kept telling you to stop slouching.
Luckily, there are ways to combat these signs of aging and help maintain a youthful appearance.

He detailed the anti-aging things you can do to help reverse the skin on your neck and chest.
“Firstly, make sure to apply at least SPF 30 to not just your face but your entire neck and any exposed parts of your chest every day," he said.
Even if it isn’t a sunny day, it's still equally as important to cover the area for your skin's overall health.
The second tip has to do with the specific products you use in your daytime and evening regimen.
"Whether your neck is already a skin concern, or you are simply trying to prevent it from becoming one, using a cream that is specifically for your neck and decolletage is an important step," the doctor added.
He advised using the Absolute Collagen Deep Lift Neck and Dec Cream, which is about $56 dollars.
It contains ingredients designed to sculpt and firm this part of your skin – often more so than an everyday moisturizer.
Even if you don't use that beauty item, it's still a high priority to apply cream to your neck and décolletage diligently every evening after washing your face.
