The Secrets to a Youthful-Looking Neck and Décolletage
Did you know that the skin on your neck and chest is thinner than the skin on your face? This means that it’s more susceptible to damage, which is why the décolletage is usually one of the first areas to develop wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark spots. It doesn’t help that the neck is almost constantly in motion and, in this day and age, it spends a lot of time looking down at an electronic device. This exacerbates the creases that form, making the neck and chest look older.
So, what are the secrets behind achieving a décolletage that looks smooth and youthful? Follow these pro tips from OROGOLD and it won’t be long before your neck and chest take on a firmer and tighter finish.
Be Gentle When Cleansing and Exfoliating Your Décolletage
Just like the skin on your face, the skin on your décolletage needs to be regularly cleansed and exfoliated too. Fail to do this and not only will your skin take on a dull and rough appearance, but you could also end up dealing with acne in this area. Plus, all of the free radical damage caused by the impurities on your skin will only accelerate the skin aging process.
However, with the skin on your neck and chest being so thin and delicate, you need to treat it with care. Gentle skincare products are essential – avoid using any potent acids or harsh abrasive ingredients on this thin skin. You’ll only end up damaging it.
Instead, go with a formula like the OROGOLD 24K Mousse Cleanser for your daily cleanse. This cleanser contains several moisturizing ingredients, making it a great one for your face too!
In terms of exfoliation, if you currently use a high percentage AHA or BHA exfoliant on your face, avoid applying this to your décolletage too. Again, to keep this area looking youthful, being gentle is key. A product like the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid would be ideal. Mandelic acid is known for being the gentlest alpha-hydroxy acid. Meanwhile, the bamboo powder included in this formula physically exfoliates the skin, but softly and without causing any micro-tears.
Include Your Neck and Chest When Applying Sunscreen
One big mistake that many people make is forgetting to apply their sunscreen to the neck and chest area. However, when it comes to keeping your skin looking youthful, sun protection is everything. After all, the sun’s UV rays are responsible for up to 80% of the wrinkles that develop on your face, neck, and chest. Keep those UV rays at bay and you’ll be able to maintain a youthful complexion for many years to come!
If you don’t yet have a go-to sunscreen, the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 would be a great choice. This is a two-in-one product; a moisturizer as well as a sunscreen. Not only will it save you an extra step in your morning skincare routine but it will also treat your décolletage to some of the best ingredients around. Between green tea extract, aloe vera leaf extract, and vitamin E, it will keep your skin feeling wonderfully soft.
Of course, even if you’re diligent about applying sunscreen, let’s not forget that 100% protection is difficult to obtain. Fortunately, when it comes to your neck and chest, it’s easy enough to use clothing or accessories to add an extra layer of protection. Keep your chest covered with high-neck clothing or scarves and wear a wide-brimmed hat to shade your neck. The latter will shelter your face too, helping to keep the skin here looking youthful as well!
Apply Topical Antioxidants
While prevention is always better than cure, chances are that the skin on your neck and chest has already undergone some damage over the years. If you’ve already been noticing fine lines and loose skin making an appearance, the best way to put a stop to that is to incorporate plenty of antioxidants into your skincare routine.
As mentioned, the majority of wrinkles are caused by UV exposure. UV rays trigger free radical damage in the skin, which is what speeds up the aging process. However, antioxidants can help to halt the appearance of free radical damage, enabling the complexion to hang on to its youthful luminosity for longer.
Which antioxidants should you be using? They’re all great, although it’s true that some are more powerful than others. Vitamin C, for example, is revered for being one of the best. This is down to its multi-tasking abilities. It’ll tighten, brighten, firm up, even out, and hydrate the complexion with regular use, making this antioxidant a must-have.
Vitamin A is another one that’s commonly recommended to those wanting to slow down the appearance of aging. However, avoid using retinol, which will likely be too potent for the thin skin on your neck. Instead, retinyl palmitate, a gentler derivative of vitamin A, would be more suitable.
You’ll find it, along with two forms of vitamin C plus vitamin E, in the OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum. With these three antioxidants on your side, it won’t be long before you start to see a difference in how firm and youthful the skin on your neck looks.
Provide Plenty of Hydration
An antioxidant serum is essential if you’re trying to achieve youthful-looking skin on your neck and chest. However, hydration is also key. After all, dehydrated skin cells will always look deflated and dull, no matter how many antioxidants you use.
So, how should you hydrate your décolletage?
Well, just like your face, start by splashing on a hydrating toner once you’re done cleansing. Try to apply this while your skin is still damp. Then, follow up with a hydrating serum. Again, apply this to damp skin. When it comes to picking the most hydrating serum, humectants, like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, are important ingredients to look out for. Their moisture-binding properties provide immediate hydration, leaving the skin looking plumper and fuller. The String Lift Sculpting System contains both. In fact, it boasts six forms of hyaluronic acid, along with a few other hydrating humectants!
The next step is to moisturizer, which we’re about to talk about in more detail…
Invest in a Dedicated Neck and Chest Cream
It goes without saying that moisturizing is a crucial part of keeping any skin looking smooth and youthful. Not only does a moisturizer condition and lubricate the skin’s surface, immediately giving it a softer and dewier finish, but it also helps to lock in any other products that you’ve already applied. This gives those ingredients more time to work their way into your skin, rather than evaporating into the air soon after they’ve been applied.
However, let’s not forget that the skin on your décolletage is thinner and more delicate. This means that it has unique needs. Sure, using your facial moisturizer on your neck and chest is better than using a body cream or, worse still, no moisturizer at all, but a dedicated décolletage cream would be even better.
For this, we would recommend the OROGOLD 24K Neck Duo Treatment. This clever bottle actually contains two different products. The first is the 24K NeckLift Boosting Essence. It’s a lightweight serum infused with sodium hyaluronate, vitamin C, vitamin A, and a number of botanical extracts. Underneath it sits the 24K NeckLift Nutri-Cream. With shea butter, jojoba seed oil, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and amino acids, it won’t be long before it has your neck looking smoother and revitalized!
Pamper Your Décolletage With Masks
In the same way that you treat the skin on your face to face masks, you should be doing the same with your décolletage too. Can you use the same masks that you use on your face on your neck and chest? Yes, so long as they’re not loaded with potent active ingredients that could irritate the thin skin on the décolletage. Hydrating, antioxidant-rich formulas, like the 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask, will work wonders on both your face and décolletage!
However, if your neck and chest could do with some extra TLC, it could be worth investing in a dedicated décolletage mask. These contain ingredients that target the unique visible skin concerns experienced in this area. As a result, they can sometimes be more beneficial than a regular face mask.
The OROGOLD 24K Neck Lifting & Chest Firming Mask would be a fantastic choice. In addition to helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin, it will also hydrate to eliminate the feeling of dryness.
Tackle Visible Skin Concerns With LED Light Therapy
Another way to achieve youthful-looking skin is with LED light therapy. Sure, this may seem more complex than topical skincare products but with the at-home devices now available, it’s easier to benefit from this technology than ever before.
How can LED light therapy help your décolletage? For starters, it will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It will also leave your skin feeling tighter and more elastic while giving it a brighter and more radiant finish. It can soothe the feeling of inflammation too, evening out the look of redness and blotchiness.
If you’d like to give this tech a try, the Photonix-3 Neck Solution is an LED light therapy device that has been designed specifically for the décolletage. It features multiple modes, enabling you to customize each session to your skin’s needs. Use it two or three times a week and you should start seeing some big improvements in the look and feel of your neck and chest skin.
