Top 10 Home Remedies To Remove Neck Wrinkles

Wrinkles occur as part of the natural aging process, when the collagen and elastin in the connective tissue of the skin becomes weak and breaks down. Wrinkles around the neck are quite common because as we grow old, skin loses its elasticity and becomes thinner and drier, making it more susceptible to damage and wrinkles.
