How to care for your décolletage properly
If your skincare routine ends at your chin and skips your neck, chest and cleavage, it may be time to rethink your ritual.
The skin on your décolletage is thinner, more delicate and often more exposed to sun and environmental damage than your face. This means it can show signs of ageing faster, even when facial skin still looks youthful.
Why your décolletage ages faster
A highly exposed and delicate area
The décolletage is exposed to:
• UV radiation • Pollution • Heat and wind • Friction from clothing
It also contains fewer oil glands and less structural support, making it more prone to dryness, pigmentation and loss of elasticity.
Décolletage skincare essentials
Cleanse daily
Your neck and chest are exposed to the same dirt, oil and environmental pollutants as your face.
When cleansing, extend your routine from your face down to your chest to help maintain clear pores and brighter skin.
Use a gentle, non stripping cleanser such as Lemon Myrtle Cleanser to avoid disrupting the skin barrier.
Exfoliate weekly
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and supports healthy skin cell turnover.
Recommended frequency:
• Once weekly for normal to dry skin • Twice weekly for oily or congested skin
Avoid aggressive scrubbing. Gentle exfoliation is enough to refresh the skin without irritation.
Use Gentle Exfoliant and apply with light circular motions across the neck and chest.
Tighten and refine
The décolletage experiences the same concerns as facial skin, including:
• Pigmentation • Redness • Loss of elasticity • Texture changes
Using a clay mask on this area can help refine pores, brighten tone and support firmness.
Apply White Clay Mask to the chest once weekly for a gentle detox and visible glow.
Hydrate deeply
The skin on your chest is thinner and naturally drier than other areas of the body.
This means it often benefits from a richer moisturiser than the rest of your body.
Recommended approach:
• Apply your facial moisturiser down to your chest • Use body moisturiser below the bust
