Do I Need Neck Cream?

While you may already have specific routines to tackle baggy eyes or the dryness of winter skin, neck skin care can often be overlooked when it comes to your daily routine.

However, your neck needs just as much TLC as your face when it comes to skin care – perhaps even more so! That’s because your neck and decolletage (a fancy word for your lower neck and chest) have less natural oils than your face, so they are more prone to dry skin and wrinkles.

But do you specifically need neck cream to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and avoid dry skin? And, if so, what is the best neck firming cream that really works?

Let’s find out the answers, as well as some insights into neck skin care, below.

So, why would I need neck cream?

Before we get into whether a neck cream can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, let’s take it right back to the basics – why do we even get wrinkles in the first place?

To answer that question, we need to talk a little bit about the science behind collagen. Just to quickly explain, collagen is a major component of our ligaments and connective tissues, with its skin-boosting properties helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. 

However, our natural collagen levels start to decrease from the age of 25. That’s why you might first start to notice wrinkles and fine lines as you approach 30 – and that’s where neck skin care comes into the picture!

With a collagen neck cream (or another collagen neck treatment, such as our award-winning marine collagen supplement), you can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help to firm up skin on your neck. But we’re getting slightly ahead of ourselves…

What is the best neck firming cream that really works?

So, we’ve come to the million pound question. Now we know that a specific neck cream could work wonders, what is the best neck cream for wrinkles and fine lines?

Well, for our money, it’s all about our Deep Lift Neck & Dec Cream. This Absolute Collagen neck cream uses DermosculptTM for a sculpted and firm appearance around the neck and decolletage. Emma Willis certainly approves of our Deep Lift skincare range, who has talked up its benefits in her Strong in Your Skin campaign. 

Our amazing Absoluters cannot get enough of Absolute Collagen neck cream either, who always love to share their Success Stories. Sheila W. was kind enough to share her thoughts on our Absolute Collagen neck cream: “This gave really good results, as it’s an area that is easily neglected, and I saw a big improvement in the neck area especially. Lovely texture and fragrance.”

How to apply neck cream

Want to add our Absolute Collagen neck cream to your skin care routine, but aren’t sure when to apply neck cream and how often? Take a look at our quick step-by-step guide, below, to see how to effortlessly implement our Deep Lift collection:

1. Cleanse: Start your neck skin care routine with a good cleanse. Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove any dirt or makeup, massaging into your face and neck, and then rinsing with lukewarm water and patting dry with a clean towel. 
2. Serum: Apply 2-3 drops of our Collagen Boosting Serum onto your face and neck. Leave to soak in, and then follow up with a moisturiser. 
3. Day Cream: Before we get to the Absolute Collagen neck cream, apply an even layer of our Deep Lift Day Cream to your face. Gently rub into your skin in circular motions until it is fully absorbed into the skin.
4. Neck & Dec Cream: Now we come to how to apply the neck cream! Apply the Neck & Dec cream twice a day, by warming up between your hands and apply in gentle strokes. Start from the decolletage and then move upwards across the neck, up to your chin.
