A number of factors contribute to décolletage damage or skin sagging in the neck and chest area. Aging is the most common culprit, as the production of collagen and elastin breaks down as we age. When this happens, the skin will start to sag inward, resulting in small creases or wrinkles.
Just like your face, your neck and chest area deserves TLC too. You can start with tweaking your skin care routine and avoiding some of the aging factors you have control over. You can also follow these décolletage skin care tips:
We can’t stress enough the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect your skin from the effects of UV rays. Be sure to apply not just on your face, but also on your neck and chest area 20 minutes before sun exposure. Choose a broad-spectrum product with an SPF of at least 30.
Use gentle exfoliators or gentle face/body scrub when exfoliating your décolletage. This is to remove dead skin cells and help prepare your skin in absorbing products more efficiently. You can do this once or twice a week, depending on how your skin responds to the routine.
Use a gentle cleansing product to remove dirt, oil, and makeup that may have built on your décolletage throughout the day. Don’t forget to moisturize the area day and night, or use a firming neck cream with SPF. You can also include an anti-aging product like serums to protect and rejuvenate your skin.
Getting active most days of the week is good for both your overall health and skin. It can help relieve stress, which is beneficial in preventing breakouts and keeping your skin healthy. Aim to get at least an hour of moderately vigorous exercise for about three times each week.
