We know how surprising it is to see aging skin on your neck before the rest of your face. Loose and crepey skin, wrinkles and dryness? You’re not alone!
The truth is our neck does show signs of aging more quickly than our face.
The Facts:
- Our necks contain fewer sebaceous glands, which produce sebum (oil) to keep skin hydrated. This is why our necks are prone to dryness.
- Necks also have less collagen, which is what provides structure to our skin. This is why our necks are more likely to slack, sag or be crepey.
- We move our necks…a lot! Up and down, side to side and unfortunately, staring down at our phones every day. Our neck skin stretches and moves more than any other part of the body. This is why it loses elasticity quicker than our face.
With this evidence that our necks really do need a specialized product to meet its unique needs, we created this skin firming hemp neck cream.
Formulation Heroes:
Sesaflash™: This proprietary blend from Seppic Inc. gets its name from the component hydrolyzed sesame seed extract. It visibly firms for smoother, tauter looking skin on the neck. Sesaflash is also hydrating.
Matrixyl™: An anti-wrinkle powerhouse, Matrixyl smooths the skin for improved skin texture overall.
Hydrolyzed Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Extract: HHSE is clinically proven to hydrate the skin. Chronic dryness paired with decades of exposure to the sun leaves our necks vulnerable to crepiness. Keeping your neck properly moisturized is the key to graceful aging.
Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil: It’s the GOAT in clean skincare for a reason! Hemp seed oil is rich in omegas 3 and 6 fatty acids and very biocompatible with the skin for effective absorption and hydration.
Fun Fact: The sesame and hemp seed extracts we use are hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (HVP) with a rating of 1 according to the Environmental Working Group. HVP’s provide hydration to the skin as humectants. Their chemical structure allows them to be absorbed by the skin beyond the stratum corneum (outer layer), which is why they have a significant moisturizing effect.
“Hydrolyzed” means that the extract has been created through a process of hydrolysis i.e. chemical reaction using water to separate the protein into its amino acids and peptides.
Time to Try
You may still be feeling hesitant to add another cream to your daily routine.
You’re a skinamilist. You’re a new Mom. You’re a bada** working woman who only has time for sunscreen and coffee most days.
We get it.
Don’t worry, there’s a place for neck cream in everyone’s routine. Even empyri Founder Jen doesn’t use neck cream every single day.
“Everything I do is rooted in science, and the science here tells us that the skin on our neck is different from the skin on the rest of our body, including our face. I want to support my natural aging process by using the right ingredients to tackle my neck’s specific needs. I feel young and vibrant on the inside so my neck shouldn’t be telling a different story! I use skin firming neck cream 2-3 times a week. The product smells incredible – bright and refreshing - so it’s the perfect little indulgence when I have an extra minute for self care”.
“And since I understand the science behind why our necks “age” quicker than our faces, I’m now more diligent about slathering vitamin C and SPF on my neck too. When we know better, we do better”.
Daily use is ideal, but consistency is more important.
