5 ways to reduce signs of ageing on your neck and décolleté – from skincare to treatments
ok.co.ukSo you’re diligent about applying the best anti-ageing skincare to your face – but have you given much thought to the skin below your chin?
No? Perhaps it’s time to, because, much like the hands, the neck and décolleté is often an overlooked area that can be a big ageing giveaway. “The skin on the neck and chest is one of the most delicate areas of the body,” explains Dr Sophie Shotter, founder of Illuminate Skin Clinics. “It has a thin dermis layer, meaning it has less collagen and elastin and fewer oil glands to keep skin supple.This makes it more prone to wrinkles, sagging and hyperpigmentation.” Luckily there are some measures you can take to lift and smooth this area to create a smoother, more youthful-looking neckline.
