How to Care for Your Neck and Décolletage

Treat your neck and décolletage like face skin with gentle cleansing, consistent moisturizing, and daily SPF application.

1. Extend your face routine downward. Whatever you use on your face works on your neck and chest. Apply cleanser, treatments, and moisturizer in upward strokes from chest to jawline. The skin here is thinner and more delicate than your face.
2. Apply SPF religiously. Sun damage shows first on the décolletage because the area gets direct exposure when you wear lower necklines. Use the same SPF you use on your face, applied every morning and reapplied if you're spending time outdoors.
3. Sleep with support. Sleep on your back when possible to prevent chest wrinkles from side sleeping. If you're a side sleeper, consider a silk pillowcase or chest pad designed to minimize compression wrinkles.
4. Exfoliate weekly. Use a gentle chemical exfoliant or soft washcloth once weekly to prevent buildup and keep the skin smooth. The neck area can handle the same gentle acids you use on your face.
