Is Your Decolletage Dragging You Down?

What's your skincare routine like? Do you cleanse? Tone? Mask? Serum? Oil? Moisturise? Do you do it on your face?... But ignore anything lower than your chin? 

It's easy to forget about our decolletage, but we really shouldn't - especially if we're wanting the skin on our neck and chest to match that on our face as we age. 

So how can we keep our decolletage looking delightful? 

Go low when cleansing. Take your morning and nightly cleansing routine for a journey south of your face and include your neck and chest in your cleanse.

Once or twice a week, smooth it out! And by 'smooth it out' we mean exfoliate. Use a gentle exfoliant to remove dry skin cells and reveal glowing skin.

It's not just your face that needs a little extra care, your decolletage does too! Which is why it pays to get your mask on. Hydrate the area with a moisturising mask, or spot treat it (literally!) with a mask designed for zit zapping if your decolletage is pimple prone. 

Think serums are just for your face? Think again! Your neck and chest will appreciate the boost of serum skincare goodness! 

With all that love shown... Don't forget to moisturise!

Last, but never ever least, smother on the SPF. If your chest is exposed to the sun it's going to show it sooner or later. If covering up is not an option then be sure to apply sunscreen and reapply throughout the day.

So there you have it... top tips for dealing to your decolletage! So, is your chest area in need of some tender loving care? Next time you fab up your face will you treat your chest as well? Chat away!

I cleanse mine in the shower and exfoliate during the summer when i wear dresses and singlets. But never a mask lol.

Ummm good points in there. I'm a shocker for this, I do my neck but forget that area. I'll try and remember to do this from now on.

I definitely ignore it - except for washing in the shower. Definitely need to take on board these tips!

I do my face but not below my chin... naughty me.. First i should really start taking care of my neck as my fine lines are getting more apparent. The last time a moisturised my neck was probably over 10 years ago... hahaha

Definitely need a bit of a lift and some tlc after having kiddies.

I have never gone below the neck but it makes sense once you think about it .

Have always moisturised my face, neck and decolletage at the same time and I think it has paid off over the years. Can't say I have ever used a mask there though.

I didn’t know to cleanse past the neck . I always exfoliate once a week . I used to mask once a week but have been slacking in that area.

I could do with more moisturising...

I would use a mask there but that's tricky to rinse off without a cloth or not get on clothes and spending the duration of the time needed for the mask to work wrapped in a towel during winter isn't convenient.

I agree, moisturiser is all I need.

I am the same -never thought about it at all

Same here. I find masking a bit hard to do and rinse off without a cloth and also trying to keep it off your clothes. I have sort of re-used my sheet mask on my neck area after I used it on my face though but you have to sit still or it falls off.
