REVIEW: The Body Shop Vitamin E Creamy Neck Gel

I currently do not face any concerns at all for my neck area and thus am utilising this product more for precautionary measures. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. This neck gel supposedly aids in curbing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as provide essential moisture for the neck, a body part many tend to unknowingly neglect. According to its official website, this product also contains "antioxidant Vitamin E and wheat germ oil" which I believe are beneficial to our skin.

This neck gel smells a lot like shampoo. A strange but apt comparison. However, the scent does not bother me at all. An appropriate amount gently squeezed out from the tube goes a long way so do watch out for extra spillage from accidental splurting. The gel is of a more watery consistency compared to creams and hence absorbs relatively quickly into the skin. Overall, I rate this neck gel 4/5. I will not re-purchase until I am significantly older in age because I think a normal moisturiser and hydrator can combine to sufficiently protect my neck.

It is of utmost importance to take note that when applying anything to the vulnerable neck area, one should ensure to practice light upward sweeping movements towards the face. Any rough tugging or pulling of the thin skin at the neck, or even face, will cause sagging and wrinkling.
