Your Neck and Chest Deserve TLC Too

6th April 2024

Don't Forget Your Décolletage! 

We all know the importance of a good skincare routine for our faces. But let's be honest: How often do we neglect the delicate skin on our neck and chest (also named the décolletage)?

The image showcases the amazing transformation possible with consistent care, both in-clinic and at home. You can see a visible lightening of sun damage, a smoother texture, and renewed firmness—all thanks to treating this often-forgotten area!

So why is it crucial to extend your skincare routine below your chin? Here's the science behind the secret:

  • Thinner Skin: The skin on your neck and chest is thinner and more delicate than your facial skin. This means it's more prone to sun damage, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.
  • Sun Exposure: This area is constantly exposed to the sun, a primary culprit behind premature aging. Those pesky UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging. 
  • Lifestyle Habits: Sleeping on your side can contribute to wrinkles on your chest, and neglecting sunscreen accelerates sun damage.

Nourish from Within and Without: The Power of Vitamins and Essential Fatty Acids

Here's how you can combat these factors:

  • In-clinic Treatments: Professional treatments like lasers and peels can target specific concerns like sun damage and loss of elasticity.
  • Home Care: Extend your facial skincare routine to your neck and chest! Look for products rich in:
    • Vitamin A (Retinol and retinaldehyde): Stimulates collagen production and cell turnover, fading sun damage and smoothing wrinkles.
    • Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage and brightens the skin.
    • Essential Fatty Acids nourish and strengthen the skin barrier, promoting a healthy glow from the inside-out.

Bonus Tip: Remember to apply sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher) to your neck and chest- reapply throughout the day!

Caring for your entire décolletage will reward you with smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin that reflects your radiant inner you!
