Anti-Aging Skin Care for the Neck and Upper Chest

“What is the best neck firming cream you can buy?”

I could name what I believe to be the best single neck cream; but that wouldn’t tell you enough. The skin of the neck and décolleté requires special care which includes a nourishing anti-aging cream.

The skin of the neck and décolleté has very few sebaceous glands and consequently is very thin (similar to the skin under the eyes). So it too tends to be one of the first areas to show signs of aging.

Sun Protection
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen product like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55 or Celazome SPF30 Moisturizer. The Celazome product is an excellent choice for those with extremely sensitive and/or dry skin, especially when conditions such as rosacea or eczema are present.

Exfoliation
This is a tip I learned recently from my dermatologist and wish I had known long ago. When I asked her if there was anything short of surgery to tighten my neck and chest skin, she suggested a mild peel.

It seemed counterintuitive to me at the time, because my décolleté skin is exceptionally sensitive and thin. Why would I want to exfoliate or peel an area that is so sensitive? I expected red, raw skin with peeling and perhaps even oozing until I healed.

However I had no problem with the mild peel. There was just a tiny bit of stinging for a few minutes until the doctor applied a neutralizer. The peel had an immediate tightening effect. As well, we know that exfoliation stimulates production of collagen to thicken the skin.
