Sensitive beauty confessions

Written by Alaine

I have a confession to make, I hate my neck. Its short, carries a lot of tension, and I have noticed especially in pictures that lines have started forming due to my weight fluctuations through the years. I wish I could take supplements that would enable my neck to grow, unfortunately that is not going to happen. If and when they do make supplements that could be taken to grow necks, that would be a scary time. Genetically mutated food and supplements are ridiculously scary. Just watch the latest documentary, Food, Inc.. I cannot afford a massage therapist every week to get all the kinks out my back. So I rely on my trusty boyfriend for free neck rubs and Pinky ball to roll out the kinks on my neck, back, and tight hamstrings.

As for the lines, its a sensitive issue. I scour for neck creams but a lot of the neck creams out there have scary names like “Advanced extra firming”, “Thinny thin chin”, “Superior lifting cream”. And then there are the smells. I have a sensitive nose. I don’t like many smells. Enter Elizabeth Grant’s Collagen Neck Cream.

The lowdown: The cream is not greasy. Blends right in. I’ve been using it for a week and have already seen some results. Collagen regenerates the skin’s elasticity and firmness so it helps with smoothing the lines out. The cream doesn’t smell.
