Building muscle doesn’t just change your body — emerging research shows it can improve your skin’s structure, elasticity and firmness, helping combat sagging in the neck and jawline.
In this episode, I break down the science behind exercise and skin tightening, and share what we can do to build a stronger, firmer neck and jawline as we age.
