As we age, the signs of time don’t just show up on our face. The delicate area from your chin to your chest, commonly referred to as the neck and décolleté, is often one of the very first places to reveal your age. Despite this, it's one of the most neglected zones in typical skincare routines. While you may already be diligent about moisturizing, exfoliating, and protecting your facial skin, your neck and chest deserve just as much attention, if not more.
What Causes Sagging, and Wrinkles on the Neck and Décolléte?
This area of the body is particularly vulnerable to visible aging for several reasons:
- • The skin here is thinner and has fewer oil glands
- • Frequent exposure to environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution
- • Over time skin loses its ability to bounce back as elastin fibers degrade, leading to sagging or "turkey neck.".
- • The jawline and neck muscles can weaken as we age, contributing to a less defined neck and jaw contour.
- • The Rise of ‘Tech Neck” - After years of staring down at your phone, tablets and e-readers it’s no wonder the skin on your neck develops deep-set wrinkles, and loss of elasticity faster than your face.
Unlike the face, which tends to have a cushion of fat and muscle underneath to help support the skin, the neck and upper chest have less structural support. This makes the area particularly susceptible to crepey texture and sagging as collagen and elastin production naturally decrease with age. These proteins are vital for maintaining elasticity and firmness, and their breakdown over time results in what is commonly referred to as “turkey neck; a drooping, loose appearance that can add years to your perceived age.
Posture and movement also play a significant role. Years of looking down at phones, tablets, and computer screens have given rise to what dermatologists now call “Tech Neck”, a phenomenon where repetitive bending of the neck creates deep, horizontal lines that become etched into the skin. These lines are often more pronounced than those on the face, especially since many people fail to apply sun protection or skincare products to this area regularly.
Why Do I Need a Different Moisturizer for My Neck and Décolléte?
-
• The skin on your neck is very different from facial skin or the rest of your body. Your face has a high density of pores that secrete sebum to keep it looking plump and feeling moisturized. The neck, in comparison, has far fewer pores and tends to be drier. In addition, neck and décolleté skin is thinner without much underlying fat or muscle. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles, and sagging tend to appear here first and more prominently than the face.
- • Neck and décolleté creams tend to be lighter in weight, are non-greasy, and more easily absorbed than facial creams. Most importantly, they are formulated with specific ingredients for firming, and lifting and as well as hydration; all key to delivering the visible results you seek.
The Unique Benefits of a Neck and Décolléte Cream
It’s a common misconception that your face cream can do double duty for your neck. The skin on your neck and chest has different needs, and using the wrong product may lead to clogged pores, irritation, or no results at all.
First, the formulation of a neck cream is specially designed to address the thinner, more delicate structure of the neck and décolleté. These creams are typically lighter in texture yet rich in active ingredients that target firmness, hydration, and tone. While facial creams often focus on treating acne, hyperpigmentation, or overall hydration, neck creams zero in on lifting, tightening, and reversing sagging skin.
Another key distinction lies in absorption. Because the neck is more prone to dryness, it requires a moisturizer that can deeply penetrate and nourish without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. High-quality neck creams often contain peptides to help support collagen production, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, and antioxidants to protect against environmental stressors.

The Best Techniques for Applying Neck and Décolléte
The application technique for a neck cream differs slightly from facial creams. To be most effective, they should be applied using upward strokes from the collarbone to the jawline, encouraging lift and stimulating circulation. Consistency is key — as with all skincare, long-term use delivers the most noticeable results.
How to Apply
For Neck: With the right hand, apply the cream to the left side of the neck, in an upward circular motion. Repeat these circular movements with the left hand for the right side of the neck. Smooth the area under the chin and along the jawline to the ears, then go down the neck to the sides.
For Décolleté: distribute a small amount of product on both hands. With the right hand, apply the cream to the left side of the décolleté, in upwards circular movements. Repeat these circular movements with the left hand for the right side of the décolleté
Whether you’re in your 30s and starting to notice the first signs of loss of skin elasticity or looking to improve the appearance of deeper-set creases and sagging, it’s never too early or too late to begin a targeted neck and décolléte care regimen.
