Whether the changes in your skin are normal signs of aging or due to one of the other reasons mentioned above, you can take steps to improve the appearance of your neck, chest, and décolletage.
1. Cleansing is key.
For many women, removing makeup is as essential to their nighttime routine as brushing their teeth daily. However, it’s crucial to remove more than just makeup residue from your face to prevent blemishes and wrinkles.
After all, we sweat throughout the day, which ensures that foundation penetrates deeper into the skin. It’s best to use a gentle lotion for daily cleansing. Regular, but gentle, exfoliation is also recommended to remove dead skin cells.
2. Moisturize your décolletage.
If you cleanse your skin frequently, you know it’s important to keep it moisturized. Just like with your face, dryness is often the cause of wrinkles.
The best thing you can do when applying your day and night creams is to apply them not only to your face, but also to your neck and décolleté. You can also use special décolleté masks occasionally to hydrate the skin in that area.
3. Always use a product with SPF
Just like the skin on your face, the skin on your décolleté is much more susceptible to the sun’s rays than other areas. Therefore, you should not only make sure to use products with SPF during the summer, but also ensure you use sufficient sun protection during the colder months.
4. Support healthy skin with regular exercise
In addition to creams, performing various fitness exercises can also help prevent wrinkles on the décolleté. Besides push-ups, you can also include butterfly stretches.
If you’re not motivated to start exercising or you’ve just begun, you can also use a simple trick to firm the skin on your décolleté. Simply bring your palms together at chest level and hold this position for several seconds. Ideally, repeat this exercise 4 to 5 times daily.
5. Pay attention to your sleeping position
The correct sleeping posture also significantly influences the appearance of wrinkles on the décolletage. When sleeping on your side, gravity acts on the skin. This accelerates the visibility of deep expression lines.
Therefore, it is best to sleep on your back. If this position is uncomfortable, using a special pillow can help prevent wrinkles on the décolletage.
