The story

In the hustle of modern American life, where digital screens dominate our work and leisure, the subtle, persistent strain on our necks often goes unnoticed until it escalates into discomfort. National Neck Care Day, observed annually on April 24, is a reminder to include the neck and décolletage in daily skincare routines. It’s a day dedicated to raising awareness about the often-overlooked neck area, which is prone to early signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. From the subtle hunch over a smartphone to prolonged hours spent at a desk, the demands on our necks are unprecedented, making this observance more relevant than ever.

Read the full story

As we age, the neck is one of the first areas to exhibit visible signs of aging. Despite this, it frequently remains neglected in regular skincare regimens. National Neck Care Day serves as a reminder to extend skincare practices beyond the face to include the neck and décolletage, promoting a more comprehensive approach to skin health.

NEOSTRATA®, a dermatologist-born brand with over 50 years of experience advancing the science of skin renewal, founded the day to raise awareness about the importance of caring for your neck as part of your daily skincare routine.

To participate, cleanse the neck gently with a mild cleanser, moisturize regularly to keep skin supple, use sunscreen with adequate SPF, and consider products specifically formulated for the neck that address firmness and elasticity.
