Care for the neck and décolleté

The skin on the neck and décolleté endures a great deal each day, from sun and shifting temperatures to sleeping on your side and the natural process of ageing. As a result, fine lines, dryness, pigmentation and a loss of firmness often appear here sooner. Many people care for their face every day with great attention, while the neck and décolleté are quietly overlooked. That is often why the difference between the face and neck becomes more noticeable as the skin ages.

Care developed specifically for the neck and décolleté helps to hydrate, nourish and support this delicate skin. It leaves the skin feeling suppler and more comfortable, and often looking more even and firm.

This area needs a little extra attention

The skin on the neck and décolleté has fewer sebaceous glands than the face and so produces fewer natural oils. This means it dries out more quickly and is more prone to slackening and fine lines. The area also takes in a great deal of sunlight, while proper sun protection with SPF is often forgotten here.

For this reason the neck and décolleté often benefit from extra care and protection, for instance with hydrating ingredients, firming actives and SPF.

At what age should you start caring for this area?

The sooner you begin, the better. Many people only start caring for the neck and décolleté separately once lines or slackening become visible. It is wiser to begin earlier, as preventative care helps keep the skin supple and firm for longer.

By carrying your serum, moisturiser or dedicated neck and décolleté care down into this area each day, you support the skin over the longer term. SPF plays an important part here, as UV radiation is one of the main causes of premature ageing in this area.

A good routine to keep your neck and décolleté looking youthful and fresh

For the neck and décolleté, a consistent, hydrating and protective routine usually works best. The skin here is thinner and more sensitive, and loses firmness and moisture more quickly than the skin on the face. That is why fine lines, dryness and pigmentation often appear here sooner.

A good routine begins with gentle cleansing. Many people forget to include the neck and décolleté when cleansing the face, even though dirt, perspiration, SPF and make-up settle here throughout the day too.

Next, a hydrating serum helps give the skin extra moisture and active ingredients. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid support the moisture balance, while antioxidants help protect against external influences.

A nourishing moisturiser or dedicated neck and décolleté care then helps keep the skin supple and comfortable. A facial oil can be a lovely addition, particularly for dry, moisture-poor or mature skin. The oil helps the skin retain moisture and gives it extra nourishment and comfort.

During the day, SPF is one of the most important steps. The neck and décolleté take in a great deal of UV radiation, and this is often where pigmentation and slackening appear. Daily SPF protection for the face, neck and décolleté helps to visibly reduce premature ageing.
