Apply a little concealer on the darker areas of your neck. Make sure you blend it in with a damp sponge. You can even use a colour corrector first, so that it cancels out the darker areas of your neck and looks even when you colour correct. This'll immediately hide those neck lines.
Moisturize. Many people remember to moisturize their face, but it's easy to forget about the neck. Some moisturizing products are made specifically for the neck. Hydrating the skin will help it look plump, so wrinkles are less visible, and it can also help prevent future creases from forming.

The skin on our necks is one of the thinnest on the body, so the breakdown of collagen and elastin, loss of hyaluronic acid, and photoaging occurs more quickly and noticeably than on most other parts of the body, including the face. So, yes, the neck area can quickly show signs of aging—faster than the face.
Whip up a cucumber cooler by adding sliced cucumbers, fresh mint, lemon, or lime to your next glass of water. Cucumber will keep you hydrated, tighten your skin, and flush out built-up toxins. It will also help you release excess water weight to help you look slimmer and leaner.

As for the claim that a cream or lotion can lift sagging skin, dermatologists say that's not possible. A cream or lotion cannot penetrate the skin deeply enough to do this.
