A turkey neck (or turkey wattle) which means wrinkled or sagging skin on the neck, is a natural side effect of aging. It occurs when the muscles in the neck area begin to weaken, and the skin’s elasticity loosens and therefore loses its ability to stay tight. While the turkey neck is a very common concern, the good news is, the neck area is actually one of the fastest areas to tone.
Facial exercises work by strengthening and toning the muscles beneath the skin’s surface, regaining you the tightness in your skin’s appearance and making your droopy skin a thing of the past!
The Face Yoga Method exercises are also a great way to prevent a turkey neck from forming in the first place. With consistent exercise, you will start to reduce stress and tension in this area, all while making it more toned.
One other important aspect of diminishing a turkey wattle is the tongue (surprise!). The tongue is a muscle that extends almost four inches and when you train it, you will feel the sensation from the inside. Even solely pressing your tongue to the roof of the mouth will tighten the neck muscles and work on smoothening the creases that you possibly have there. And, as already mentioned, this area is one of the fastest to tone and see results!
