Keke Palmer is just as stressed about neck wrinkles as we are

"There's so much to think about.. it sneaks up on [you]"

Beauty Crew Beauty Editor / July 31 2026

We're no longer in our twenties, and the ever-deepening lines on our tech neck are just further proof of that.

But it seems we're not the only thirty-somethings stressing about a part of our skincare routine we didn't pay enough attention to when it would have made the most difference.

In a recent episode of the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast with Nia Long, host Keke Palmer admitted she's started to worry about the first signs of ageing too.

"Girl, your neck look good," Palmer told Long. 

"I've been using neck cream since I was 20 though," the 55 year old admitted. 

"I hope I didn't run out of time," the podcast host joked, grabbing at her neck. "I gotta hurry it up. I feel like I started too late. [There's] so much that we have to think about — the hands and the neck sneak up on us."

Although technology is the reason we're 95 per cent sure we're getting a dowagers hump, it's also the very thing that's made formulas like Trinny London's The Elevator possible.

Isodonis japonicus phyto extract, lifts sagging skin and improves skin’s resistance to gravity. Fun fact: It's derived from a plant that can grow up to two metres tall without feeling the effects of gravity.

Deca, oligo and nonopeptides (otherwise known as clever peptides) firm, restructure and smooth skin, and boost collagen production.

And encapsulated alpha arbutin fades age spots and prevents new ones from forming by slowing down melanin production.

All we have to do is massage three pumps of Trinny London's The Elevator into our neck and décolleté using upward motions, day and night. Effectively erasing all those years spent doom scrolling into the early hours of the morning with three months of consistent application.
