TAKE CARE OF YOUR NECKLINE AND NECK

In the neck area, we will focus on avoiding the loss of elasticity and flaccidity, since it suffers from sagging in a more pronounced way , so it is essential to prevent it with firming and redensifying agents .

Meanwhile, in the neckline, we want to avoid deterioration of the appearance of the skin, since it is thinner and is usually photo-aged , so it is important to apply redensifying agents and always protect it very well from the sun when we expose it.

We must bear in mind that they are one of the first areas to show signs of aging due to the attacks of external factors such as the sun, wind or pollution or our lifestyles, so it is never too early to start this type of care. In addition to this, both the neck and décolleté require large doses of hydration , which is why oils and serums are essential.

Just as the needs for the neck and décolleté are not the same as for the face, neither will the criteria with which to choose cosmetics be the same. When we look for a moisturizer for the face, we take into account not only the requirements that each skin looks for, but also its type, starting with whether it is mixed or dry, for example. But the condition of our complexion has nothing to do with that of these other two areas, so the same cream is not worth it (although, as the specialists indicate, it will always be better to use a face moisturizer than nothing at all). And no, the body is not worth it either. Given that, as explained above, we are dealing with finer and more delicate skin, "we should use specific moisturizing creams, since their composition, texture, etc. will be different to adapt to specific needs : firmness, anti-blemishes, against accumulation of fat in the chin, etc.

And the serum?

Both to hydrate more deeply and to combat the signs of aging, before applying a nourishing cream we should apply a good serum which, in this case, can be the same as the one for the face.

Regarding the type of ingredients that this serum should incorporate, we advise vitamin C, retinol.

Ingredients that cannot be missing

When looking for the perfect cosmetics, whether they are creams, serums or oils, we must take into account which are the most important compounds or ingredients to cover the needs of the neck and décolleté, because moisturizing and nourishing agents , firming agents such as DMAE, antioxidants and active in the synthesis of collagen and elastin such as vitamin C and lipid reducers if needed, such as caffeine.

Not everything is cosmetic

In addition to the care that we can carry out with cosmetics, the specialists point out that special attention must be paid to our lifestyles, since they can be the key to guaranteeing the good condition and health of the chest and décolleté. Sudden volume changes that occur, for example, during pregnancy or weight changes, as well as practicing sports without good support, cause the chest to suffer a lot. To alleviate these effects, it helps a lot to carry out postural measures and toning exercises . Likewise, cold showers and circular massages tone the skin and work great, without assuming an economic or time effort.

It is also important to wear a bra of the right size that fits the chest, picks it up and is comfortable, as well as taking care of the postures and choosing quality sports bras that counteract the bouncing effect of the chest.

There are certain treatments that can improve the area, such as Indiba radiofrequency to firm, thicken and smooth the skin; or the IPL [pulsed light], which also treats spots, very common on the neckline.

Dark spots on the neckline: why they appear and how to avoid them

The spots on the neckline appear due to an overstimulation of melanin production, which causes an area to become more pigmented than normal, whether due to hormones, medications, genetics or, most importantly, the sun. For this reason, specialists stress the importance of a lesson that we should already have learned well: always apply quality sun protection .
