When we think about a skincare routine, we often focus on the face —from the forehead to the chin —forgetting that signs of aging appear just as quickly (if not more so) on the neck and décolleté. As many beauty professionals say, the face is not limited to the facial features; it extends from the nipples to the hairline.
Why Are These Areas So Sensitive?
The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner, less naturally hydrated (because it contains fewer sebaceous glands), and more exposed to external aggressions such as sun, wind, cold, and pollution. The result? It dries out faster, loses elasticity, and shows wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and sagging skin earlier than other parts of the body.
And in our hyperconnected daily lives, a new phenomenon is accelerating aging in this area: “tech neck,” the horizontal lines caused by constantly looking down at our phones and computers.
The Right Steps To Take
1. Cleanse gently every day, as you would your face.
2. Moisturize and nourish with appropriate skincare products, extending your facial products down to your décolleté.
3. Massage to stimulate circulation and firm the skin.
4. Protect from the sun with an SPF cream, even in winter or on cloudy days.
5. Exfoliate regularly to promote cell renewal.
Targeted Treatments for Visible Results
More and more brands are offering skincare products specifically formulated for the neck and décolleté: firming creams, anti-dark spot serums, moisturizing masks, etc. These products are designed to improve texture, stimulate collagen production, and restore firmness to these delicate areas.
Between Professional Treatments:
A Smart Routine
Between in-clinic treatments, apply your facial routine from your chest to your forehead, and your body routine from your chin to your feet. This allows your neck and décolleté to benefit from double the nutrients and hydration.
And don’t forget: 20 minutes of sun exposure is enough to damage your skin. Sunscreen remains your best ally against premature aging.
