An Anti-Aging Must: Don’t Forget Your Décolletage

Whether you’re going for a Balmain flesh-bearing gown (like the ones Kim Kardashian and Rihanna are so fond of) or a simple V-neck t-shirt, spare a thought for the delicate skin from your neck to below your collarbone. If your face is looking dewy and youthful, then you need to ensure that your neck and décolletage are too.

Remember that the skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making it one of the first places to show telltale signs of the aging process. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize, like you would your face, and add a little exfoliator into the mix once in a while. A helping of SPF before heading into the sunlight is also a must. Treat this area with the utmost care and you will be guaranteed to look far younger than your true birth date.

Here are the top five products to get you on track:

1. Peter Thomas Roth Blemish Buffing Beads for Face and Body

Apply a small amount of this gentle exfoliator to the face, neck, and décolletage and then add a little tepid water and massage it onto the skin using circular motions. The addition of salicylic and glycolic acid will banish dead skin cells and help purge your pores of bacteria that can lead to breakouts.

2. Clarisonic Plus Sonic Cleansing System

Step up your cleansing routine with this electric gadget. After whirling the rotating brush over your visage, trace it over your neck and décolletage for squeaky-clean skin. First wet your skin and the brush head and then apply the cleanser to either the brush or directly to your skin. The waterproof handle means that you can hop into the shower and cleanse away.

3. Estée Lauder Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Lotion SPF15

After a good cleanse, give your thirsty skin a real treat with a helping of this anti-aging moisturizer. Keeping your skin moisturized is half the battle against the ticking clock and I find that a serum is the fastest way to treat the area. Packed with enzymes and minerals to increase collagen production, this serum works overtime to keep the skin soft and supple.

4. Bioderma Photoderm SPF 50+

Your protection from the sun, this spray doesn’t leave behind a white chalky residue and smells good enough to eat. Spritz this onto your neck and décolletage before getting dressed to ensure that your skin is protected to the maximum.

5. Sarah Chapman Skinesis Neck and Chest Rejuvenating Complex

This formula is designed to treat pigmentation and dark spots while brightening the skin tone on the neck and chest. Packed with antioxidants, it helps the skin look rejuvenated and staves off the formation of fine lines.
