Posted on March 2, 2024<\/em> Written by: 100% PURE\u00ae<\/em><\/p>\n While we\u2019re more aboard of growing older, looking<\/em> older may have some of us jumping ship, especially if it\u2019s unhealthy aging. It\u2019s likely why we put all our precious cargo into one spot \u2013 our faces! After all, maintaining a healthy complexion gives the ambiance of youth and bliss, like the sun dipping below the ocean\u2019s surface. <\/p>\n However, not to take the wind out of your sails, but one of the quickest and most frequently neglected features on your skin to give away age is your chest! Telltale signs of aging on the chest and neck can affect a youthful appearance – or lack thereof. <\/p>\n If we think of skin as our largest organ, then we can imagine that our chest and up is just an extension of our face. We aim to maintain the same clear, supple, balanced skin from hairline to neckline, which is why we\u2019re all about taking care of it! Check out our routine for a healthy chest and d\u00e9collet\u00e9, and why the rest is just smooth sailing from there.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Beyond taking the time to try to maintain a healthy, balanced complexion and our beauty and hair-care routines, it\u2019s easy to understand how our chest and neck areas could take the stern of our daily regimen. We tend to overlook these delicate areas in pursuit of a flawless makeup application and frizz-free hair. But as our skin grows with us, rolls through the tides, and changes over time, the chest area and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 can become some of the first areas to experience the effects of aging.<\/p>\n When we think about it, our chest is really front and center \u2013 or a point of sail. We can start to notice freckles, age spots, and melasma developing on the skin of our chest even as young as our 30\u2019s. And this rather exposed point gets a surprisingly large amount of wear and tear, like frequent exposure to the sun and other environmental aggressors, stretching to accommodate dressing, not to mention it\u2019s a high-traffic zone for cosmetics and irritants. <\/p>\n With all this in mind, the chest and neack areas are very prone to wrinkles, dull skin, dryness, loss of elasticity, and even breakouts. It doesn\u2019t really take a scope or binoculars to see that these delicate areas are just as important as our facial skin to continuously watch and protect. Therefore, designing an optimal anti-aging routine from the hairline down to the bust line is paramount to preserve these often-overlooked areas.<\/p>\n Once the skin on our chest and neck ages, it becomes nearly impossible to navigate back through those waters. The key to maintaining these areas is to start early with restorative and preventative skincare ingredients. Though preserving the delicate skin of our chest and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 can sound like work, this is where designing a satisfying self-care routine can make all the difference. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a guide like a compass on how we keep the chest and neck areas looking smooth and feeling refreshed.<\/p>\n Start with a softening and hydrating cleanser.

But those aren\u2019t the only techniques we utilize in chest and neck skin care. Here are some of our other best tips for a more youthful chest and d\u00e9collet\u00e9.<\/p>\n #1. Wear SPF daily<\/p>\n While this one seems simple and straightforward, many of us forget to add sun protection<\/a> to our bodies daily, outside of outdoor activities. It should become a practice to extend the sun protection we use on our face down our neck, onto our chest, and even across the hands for good measure.<\/p>\n #2. Incorporate Anti-Aging Products<\/p>\n While the skin of our delicate chest and neck ages like our face, the type of skin in these areas is a bit different; it\u2019s actually thinner and more prone to aging faster. It\u2019s essential to add antioxidant-rich products regularly and even a weekly retinol treatment that can help address and improve the youthfulness and health in these areas.<\/p>\n
Because the d\u00e9collet\u00e9 – especially the neck – is often exposed to the sun and other environmental irritants, it is more prone to sun damage, dryness, and uneven skin tone. Often, we experience this as subtle itchiness, dull-looking skin or dark spots, but this can also lead to flaking and rashes if not treated properly. Look for soothing, natural ingredients that can prevent irritation along with hydrating and anti-aging ingredients to nurture the skin and keep the chest and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 smooth and shining.<\/p>\n
Because of the high exposure to the sun and other outdoor assailants to the chest and neck, we often notice discoloration and uneven skin tone on these parts of the body. A toner can help address this, while adding moisture and helping to lessen the signs of aging.<\/p>\n
None of the routine matters if the delicate skin of our chest and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 doesn\u2019t get a moisturizer to seal everything in. This final protective layer is extra impactful for avoiding texture and fine lines.<\/p>\nNewsletter Subscribe<\/span>
