How to give targeted care to your neck and décolletage
Just as you care for the skin on your face with cleansing, moisture and effective treatments, the skin on your neck and chest needs attention too. Many people forget to care for the skin on their neck and décolletage - and these are often the areas that reveal how well you've looked after your skin over the years.
At ECOOKING, we are experts in developing effective skincare with formulas containing strengthening, moisturising and active ingredients. Here, we guide you through rebuilding your skin with effective products for firm, glowing skin.

What is the décolleté?
The word décolleté refers to the skin on the part of the body that extends from the chin down to the upper chest - in other words: the neck, the front of the shoulders and the upper bust. Décolleté is originally French, but is now used in everyday language, particularly in skincare and cosmetic treatments. But what does décolleté mean in Danish?
Décolleté is called dekolletage in Danish, which actually refers to a dress with an open, low neckline. The word décolleté is therefore used to describe a part of the body that can be shown off through clothing - but which also needs special skincare to stay smooth and firm.

Why do the neck and décolleté need special care?
The neck and chest need targeted products to keep the skin well cared for and smooth. There are several reasons for this:
- First of all, the skin on the décolleté is typically drier due to its thin structure, with less fatty tissue, fewer sebaceous glands and lower collagen production.
- Secondly, the skin on the décolleté is often exposed to direct sunlight, wind and irritation from dressing and undressing.
This is why the skin on the neck and chest differs from the skin on the face. These two factors not only leave the skin in need of moisturising and nourishing products - they also lead to faster signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
“Effective skincare with active ingredients such as peptides, ferments and vitamins gives the skin an intensive boost that firms, smooths and deeply moisturises the area around the face, neck and décolleté.” - Mille Sofia, Beauty Advisor at ECOOKING
How to get firmer skin on your neck and décolleté
To give your neck and décolleté targeted care to keep them supple and firm, you should care for the skin on your neck and chest daily - just as you would the skin on your face. There are three particularly important points when it comes to preventing and reducing sagging and wrinkled skin:
-
Sun protection: To protect your skin and keep wrinkles and loss of elasticity at bay, you need to protect it from UV radiation. The skin on the neck and chest is often just as exposed to sunlight as the face - but the area is often forgotten before we go out in the sun. Use sun protection all year round, and choose a sunscreen with high SPF during the summer months.
-
Moisturising creams: The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner and drier than the rest of the body. Use moisturising creams that can give the skin a moisture boost and restore its suppleness and elasticity. This will both give you a comfortable feeling and keep signs of ageing at bay by making the skin strong and elastic.
- Products with an anti-ageing effect: A nourishing cream with active ingredients can stimulate the skin’s cell renewal and collagen synthesis, making it firm and smooth. Our Neck & Décolleté Firming Cream is rich in peptides, ferments and niacinamide, which lift, smooth, strengthen and deeply moisturise.

Our 3 expert tips for neck and décolleté care
- Start slowly: As mentioned earlier, the skin on the neck and chest is thinner than on the face. If you are not used to caring for the skin in this area, start gently. Do not use highly active ingredients such as vitamin A, and introduce other effective products gradually.
-
Boost collagen and moisture: One of the major causes of wrinkles and sagging skin is reduced collagen synthesis and hyaluronic acid in the skin. By choosing products that boost the skin’s collagen and hyaluronic acid, you help the skin regain its firmness and elasticity, reducing wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.
- Remember cleansing and moisture: Just like the skin on your face, the skin on your neck and chest also needs daily cleansing and moisture. In addition to targeted serums and creams, remember to maintain your daily cleansing routine - and don’t forget your neck and décolleté.
