Neck and Chest Skincare: AM and PM Routine Recommendations

Between the current GLP-1-driven tidal wave of interest in crepey skin, ongoing concern about tech neck, and general facts of life (e.g., gravity), many of us are looking at our necks in the mirror these days and thinking, “Oh…dear.” So we thought we’d help out with some neck and chest skincare recommendations.

Like the skin around the eyes, the skin on the neck and chest is thinner, more sensitive, and more prone to sagging and lines than other areas. We also tend to neglect it a bit, focusing our efforts on the more front-and-center face…until summer arrives and reminds us of what we might have forgotten.

Is it too late? Never. Here are two ways you can pull it back together.

AM Care for the Neck and Décolletage

Use a neck-specific formula, or apply your skincare products with hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, and sun protection down to your neck and chest.

PM Care for the Neck and Décolletage

Your neck and chest have probably seen a lot of sun over the years, and the gold standard for treating photodamage is still the class of ingredients called retinoids. Due to the sensitivity of the skin on these areas, it’s where retinol and retinal will be your best bet, and these happen to be some of our favorite formulas for the face, too. (Don’t jump into the deep end with a prescription formula unless you really have skin that’s made of steel.)

The #2 best seller in our store (it's popular for a reason): Dara Kennedy Sea Retinal

The OG gentle retinol: Marie Veronique Gentle Retinol Night Serum

Made for the skin of those with chronic stress: de Mamiel Gravity Fix
