Don’t Neglect the Neck: Why Your Neck Deserves the Same Love as Your Face
When it comes to skincare, most people focus only on their face. Moisturizers, serums, facials, Botox—you name it, it all stops at the chin. But here’s the truth: your neck needs just as much attention. In fact, the neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging.
Let’s break down why the neck matters and how you can keep it looking smooth, healthy, and youthful.
The Neck Ages Faster Than You Think
The skin on your neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands than your face. That means it’s more likely to become dry, saggy, or show fine lines earlier. Plus, we’re all guilty of looking down at our phones all day—hello, tech neck. Over time, those repeated movements create deep lines across the neck that can be hard to treat if ignored for too long.
The result? Your face may look youthful, but your neck can give away your age. SkinBetter Science has a great product, Techno Neck, if you’re interested in adding neck care into your skincare routine!
Treatments That Should Include the Neck (But Often Don’t)
Here’s the good news: most of your favorite treatments can also work wonders on your neck. You just have to ask.
Laser Resurfacing (BBL & Moxi)
Laser treatments aren’t just for your cheeks. They help fade sunspots, reduce redness, and boost collagen—all things your neck needs, too. If you’re already getting a laser facial, adding the neck takes your results to the next level and helps everything look smooth and even.
Neurotoxin (Botox or Jeuveau)
We usually think of Botox for forehead lines, but it can also soften the horizontal lines and vertical bands on the neck. It’s quick, effective, and a smart way to prevent those lines from getting deeper over time.
Facials & Chemical Peels
Your neck collects just as much dirt, oil, and sun damage as your face. A professional facial or peel can exfoliate, brighten, and hydrate this delicate area. Skipping the neck during treatments leaves it looking dull compared to your glowing face.
Microneedling + Exosomes
This combo is a game-changer. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, encouraging collagen production and skin renewal. Add exosomes, and you boost the healing and anti-aging benefits. For crepey, sagging neck skin, this treatment can work wonders.
What Happens When You Do Treat the Neck?
When you care for your neck the same way you care for your face, you’ll notice:
Smoother texture and fewer wrinkles
A more youthful and balanced look overall
Increased confidence (especially in photos, V-necks, and updos)
Think of it like this: your neck is the frame for your face. If you want your skincare to truly shine, make sure the frame looks just as good. The best part? You don’t need to book a whole new appointment. Most neck treatments are easy add-ons. Ask your provider to include the neck in your next facial, laser treatment, or microneedling session.
This small change can make a huge difference in how your results look—and how long they last. Let’s give your neck the glow-up it deserves!
