Pat the area dry rather than rubbing it.
Step 2: Apply Moisturizer While the Skin Is Damp
Within a few minutes of washing, apply a rich moisturizer to the neck and upper chest.

- Glycerin
- Hyaluronic acid
- Squalane
- Shea butter
- Niacinamide
Moisturizer attracts or seals water into the outer skin layer. This can temporarily plump the surface, making fine lines appear less obvious. However, dermatologists caution that moisturizers cannot truly lift deeply sagging skin.
Use gentle upward strokes, but do not pull or repeatedly stretch the skin. The moisturizing product matters more than the direction of the massage.
