Taking care of your décolleté, or the area between your neck and chest, is essential for maintaining a youthful appearance. In this blog, I will share my top tips on how to care for your décolleté including anti-ageing techniques and specific products.
Incorporate Retinol
Retinol is a powerful ingredient known for its anti-ageing properties. It helps to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Consider using a retinol-based serum or cream specifically formulated for the décolleté area. I adore TEMPLESPAs TRUFFLEIXIR Anti-Ageing Retinol Serum, which is currently on offer this August at £45 instead of £80*. It also contains another of my hero ingredients Hyaluronic Acid, which plumps and hydrates the skin, holding onto moisture.
Apply a Daily Dose of Vitamin C
Alongside targeted skincare products, you can also explore natural remedies to care for your décolleté. Vitamin C, for example, is a potent antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and reduce discolouration. Look for serums or creams containing vitamin C to incorporate into your skincare routine. TEMPLESPA'S LET'S CONCENTRATE Skin Glowing Serum is a genius serum to reveals beautifully radiant, revived and rejuvenated skin on your face, neck and decollete. LET'S CONCENTRATE is also currently on offer this August £45 for 1, or get 2 for £60*. Usually £50 per bottle!
Invest in a Specific Neck Cream
While facial moisturisers can provide some benefits to the décolleté area, using a dedicated neck cream can yield more targeted results. These creams are formulated with ingredients that address sagging skin and help improve elasticity in this delicate area. I am and many of my customers are in love with TEMPLESPA'S EXALT Neck Firming Gel Cream, our Nip & Tuck in a Jar firms and tightens, tones and smooths the neck while preventing sagging and crepiness.
Sun Protection is Key
The décolleté area often gets exposed to the sun's harmful rays without proper protection. Apply sunscreen daily with broad-spectrum SPF such as TEMPLESPA'S LIFE DEFENSE SPF 30 or SPF50 to shield this sensitive area from UV damage that can lead to premature ageing and sunspots.
Go Gently With Your Cleansing
When cleansing your décolleté, it's important to do so gently. Avoid using harsh soaps or harsh exfoliators that may strip away natural oils or irritate the skin.
Massage and Gentle Exfoliation
Regular massage of the décolleté area can help improve blood circulation and stimulate collagen production. Additionally, gentle exfoliation once or twice a week can remove dead skin cells, allowing better absorption of skincare products.
Remember Consistency is Key
Consistency is key when it comes to caring for your décolleté effectively. By incorporating these tips into your skincare routine along with other healthy habits like staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet, you can keep this area looking youthful and radiant.
Lastly
Be mindful of what you apply on to your décolleté area. Avoid applying perfume directly onto this delicate skin as it can cause irritation, dryness and makes your skin more prone to burning and premature ageing. I always apply my perfume to my clothes. If you want to add fragrance to this area, consider using scented lotions or body oils instead.
By following these top tips on how to care for your décolleté, you can maintain a smooth, youthful appearance and keep this often-neglected area looking its best.
I do hope this post helps.
