How should I care for my neck?

The skin of the neck is not as oil making, it doesn't produce as much oil as the face or the chest. There are fewer sebatious glands on the neck area. Therefore, a good neck cream does help. A good neck cream should be applied at night. When you put the face cream on your face, put the neck cream on the neck. It's slightly richer and slightly different because it helps to make the skin of the neck firmer. Also, use a mask on the neck which is a different texture from the face, again for the same reason - it's not as oily, even though the drier skin in the center of the face is oilier than the neck. Therefore for the neck you should use a slightly richer neck cream or neck mask. It's important not to pull the skin down on the neck too heavily, don't stretch it and don't use too many pillows at night in bed because you'll increase the number chins quite quickly.
