If you’re a mature (and fabulous) woman, you may be starting to notice signs of aging in your skin. Places like our hands, foreheads, eyes, and decolletage, can all start to show our age faster than we’d like. But it’s no longer just the battle against crow’s feet and fine lines. If you’ve started to notice sagging and excess skin in the folds of your neck, you’re not alone. A popular name for signs of age in the neck is “turkey neck” (unfortunate, we know). No matter what it’s called, it’s a major bummer.

It’s November which means fall is official! Well, we know it’s technically been official for awhile, but those of us who live in southern states have had to wait for the weather to actually cool off. Now that the temps are dropping, it’s time to take another look at your skin care.

What is actually happening to our brains as we sift through dozens of emails, text messages, online articles, catch up on some online shopping or playing video games on our cellphones or devices prior to dozing off to sleep? The answer is exactly what we do NOT want to happen.  Our brains are stimulated and neurons are firing at warp-speed which is impairing our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. As a result, we have poor sleep quality and fragmented sleep. We wake up feeling very groggy and exhausted. This correlates to daytime somnolence, reduced cognition, impaired memory, poor attention span, and irritability among other undesirable effects.
