Remember: The skin on our necks not only is thinner but also lacks the same oil composition as the face, so it’s not nearly as hydrated. If your skin leans really dry, go with a balm, like this one, which is even more nourishing than your average cream or lotion. Dr. Hartman says this formula is infused with fatty-acid-packed sea buckthorn oil for a burst of moisture, as well as tree fern extract, which purportedly creates a three-dimensional mesh to lift and tighten skin.
What our reviewers say: “I truly wish I’d discovered this balm before I had to attend a wedding in Florida! I’d bought a dress with a low neckline, and the wrinkles on my décolletage and neck made me feel old, which is something I usually never feel, even with my gray hair. Elemis says ‘in just 30 days,’ but even after a couple of weeks, I could already see my skin looking smoother and more hydrated. I credit that to ingredients like sea buckthorn oil, padina pavonica, chlorella, and tree fern extract. I used one squirt for my neck and one for my chest area, smoothing it on with light, upward strokes morning and night. It felt slightly sticky right after application, but that faded quickly. I can’t wait to see the full results when the 30 days are up,” says Hohlfeld.
