The Décolleté

Looking beautiful and healthy requires that we also take care of the appearance of our chest or décolleté.   Many beautiful dresses and fashionable tops have low cuts that highlight the décolleté and some areas of the bust, embracing this part of a woman’s body to show a beautiful necklace or just a little more skin.

The skin on the décolleté area is more sensitive than skin on other parts of our body; it is thinner, less moisturized, has less elasticity and there is no fat tissue below. Consequently, this skin is more likely to show signs of aging with dryness, hyper-pigmentation and age spots.

This premature aging process is also affected by the use of harsh alkaline products such as soaps, which will contribute to excessive moisture loss and sensitivities.  Many clients with an oily complexion on the face are very reluctant to apply a moisturizer on the neck and décolleté, because they do not think they need it; but this assumption is mistaken.

One issue that plagues the area is the appearance of deep wrinkles. The main cause of wrinkles on the chest is that most women sleep on their sides, and the breasts fall together and create lines, wrinkles and creases because of their weight. Specialty items to treat this condition are on the market. Items like a reverse bra and other related bedtime clothing items claim to help slow down the signs of aging in these areas. Or, you could just remember to sleep on your back and not your side or stomach.

This is why this delicate area requires the regular use of a gentle cleanser, a mild exfoliation scrub, an application of a specially-formulated cream for this area and a monthly professional salon treatment to maintain its natural firmness, prevent moisture loss and keep its natural youthful, smooth appearance.
