We’ve been slathering moisturizer on our faces, exfoliating regularly (and safely) and mastering our skincare routines. But we recently realized we were making a big mistake: We were leaving our neck and chest out of the equation completely. Given that our neck and décolleté are just as prone to sun damage, pollution and general aging concerns as our face, we realized we were missing key areas (especially since the skin here is typically left exposed).
While it’s certainly possible to use face products on the neck, the skin on this part of the body is thinner and the concerns are a bit different. That’s where a neck firming cream comes in. We reached out to a few dermatologists to explain why we should incorporate one into our skincare routine.
