Why the Neck & Décolleté Deserve Special Attention
The skin on your neck and chest is thinner, has fewer oil glands, and is more prone to collagen breakdown than your face. Add in years of sun exposure (especially if you weren't applying SPF below the chin), and it’s no surprise these areas often show:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Horizontal “tech neck” lines
Crepey texture
Sunspots and pigmentation
Sagging or skin laxity
Since these areas are highly visible, taking proper care of them is essential for a youthful, even appearance from the face down.
At-Home Neck & Chest Skincare Tips
Extend Your Routine The easiest change? Whatever you do for your face—cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF—extend it down to your neck and chest. Don’t stop at the jawline.
Use Targeted Ingredients Look for products with:
Peptides – boost collagen and elasticity
Retinol or Retinyl Esters – smooth fine lines (start slow!)
Antioxidants like Vitamin C – protect and brighten
Hyaluronic Acid – hydrates and plumps
Apply Sunscreen—Daily SPF isn’t just for beach days. Apply it to your neck and chest every single morning, even if you’re mostly indoors.
Gentle Exfoliation 1–2 times a week: Use an enzyme exfoliant to slough off dead skin and boost product absorption. Don’t overdo it—this skin is sensitive.
In-Office Treatments That Work Wonders
If you’re seeing signs of aging or sun damage, clinical treatments can take your results to the next level. Some of our favorite neck & décolleté treatments include:
Microchanneling & Microneedling: These stimulate collagen and improve texture and tone—great for fine lines and crepey skin.
Laser Resurfacing reduces sunspots, redness, and uneven pigmentation. Customizable based on skin type and concern.
Skin Tightening (RF or Ultrasound-Based) Non-invasive treatments like radiofrequency or ultrasound can tighten loose skin and restore firmness (Check out our Collagen Induction Facial).
Medical-grade skincare Professional lines like SkinCeuticals, Jan Marini, and SkinMedica offer advanced products specifically formulated for the neck and chest.
Neck & Decollete Treatment Add to any facial for a special focus on this area using specialized products to rejuvenate and restore
Final Thoughts
Taking care of your neck and décolleté doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs consistency and the right approach. Start by treating this area as an extension of your face, and don’t hesitate to ask about professional treatments that can restore youthfulness and confidence.
Your skin doesn’t stop at your jawline—and neither should your skincare.
