Literally every product applied on my face also go on my neck, chest, and from my fingertips to my elbows. This includes prescription tretinoin which I’ve used every night for years. I’ve just begun using Omnilux Red Light Therapy Mask and I am going to order the Omnilux Neck & Chest mask. I’m 69 years old, I’m very dedicated to good skincare. My family lives well into their late 90’s, so I’m in this for the long haul.

[@marylincherie1806]

yeah since childhood and before a lot of our modern tec was common or even invented. I was told by an historic art student once that Julius Caesars family had the genetic preposition for those lines and that they can be seen on all the Julian portraits.

[@anasofiatorres4357]

Yes for some of us it is just our anatomy.

[@Lrkkk]

Don't you worry some are just genetics,i have mine which is there since i was a toddler (i looked it up in my childhood pics) and i do get conscious about it sometimes because who doesn't love a good looking neck 😆but i also use countertop tretnoin with my moisturizer to make it less visible and my sunscreen too which really really helps a lot but its not a permanent thing.

[@jasnajovic7722]

I’ve had the neck line since I was a kid, therefore it’s genetic.

[@Genesisxx]

I came here looking for a similar comment before I made mine, because this is me. The lines in my neck I've had since I was a child 😅 I've always been self conscious about them because people say that's how you can tell someone's real age, but not really when you've had them your whole life rofl I wish they would have talked about this a little bit.

[@singhmastr]

I wish these two would talk more about things that affect brown skin. A lot of light therapy will worsen hyperpigmentation for brown skin, or might not even be an option if you are too brown. I'm light-to-medium brown with acne scars and hyperpigmentation, and my Indian dermatologist said I should stay away from most light-based skin therapy.

[@shanicadees9787]

It's so frustrating that we've been left out of most research! My Musely derm said not to use red light therapy on melasma but for hyperpigmentation it's ok. The light companies market toward ALL skin types and use dark models which doesn't mean it's really for us 🤦🏾‍♀️

VI peels work for darker skin for something less invasive.

[@elettramia6380]

I am olive skinned and can get pale olive and dark ( Mediterranean) and the Omnilux mask caused me to have a spot of hyperpigmentation on my face that I never had before, it also caused red blood dots to appear on my skin. So I’ve stopped using it for now

I have begun trying to care for my neck along with my face. I'm in my late 60's, so it's a better late than never game for me. I tried using some of the lactic acid (aha) lotion that I use regularly for my eczema on my face and neck as my 1 x per week exfoliant. My face had no reaction. But my neck got very irritated and inflamed, like a red rash all over and very itchy as most rashes are. That was a lesson learned. It's been a week, and I'm still using "big gun" emollients to calm the skin - Avene Cicalfate or Laroche Posey Triple Repair - plus sunscreen. That said, I do have sunspots and lines and definite signs of aging that I've been treating using a retinol in pm and vitamin c with ceramides in am, plus moisturizer and sunscreen for nearly a year now, with very little visible results. Which is why I tried the aha exfoliant. My bad. 😑

I have Never had any form of hyperpigmentation on my face and several weeks into using it I developed a spot on my face that was Not there before, I also developed little red spots on my upper eyelid area and my chest since using these mask, which I’m assuming is due to the increase in blood flow/ circulation. After that I decided to stop using it. Yes it may help with collagen and a glow but it is causing things that I have to use laser treatments to fix. There are many people who use these mask and have unwanted reactions like I mentioned. Of course you won’t know unless you try it and it happens to you.
