How do you combat décolletage wrinkles?

The skin of the décolletage is particularly thin and fragile... and it shows! Over time, the sun and the "bad" sleeping positions accelerate its ageing and give it a wrinkled appearance. How can this be avoided? How can this be mitigated? In short, how do you keep your cleavage looking good?

How décolletage wrinkles are formed 

Why is the skin of the décolletage thin and fragile? Because unlike other parts of the body, it does not have any protective and moisturising fatty tissue. As a result, it wrinkles more quickly. In addition, we often forget about the décolletage in our daily moisturising routine and we don't protect it enough from its main enemy, the sun!
It is the main cause of the vertical and oblique wrinkles that appear between the breasts and spread out like a fan. Your sleeping position can also make neckline wrinkles more visible. Sleeping on your side causes them to become deeper.

Décolletage wrinkles: moisturise and protect

How to act on the main ageing accelerator of the décolletage? By adopting a sun protection habit as soon as it is not covered by clothing, even for a springtime lunch on the terrace. In case of prolonged exposure, opt for a high-protection SPF formula and remember to reapply every two hours.
On a daily basis, moisturising is the key to keeping your décolletage beautiful. No need to invest in a specific product: simply spread your anti-wrinkle skincare product down to the neck, then the décolletage.

FRIENDLY (AND EXPERT) ADVICE

Extending the application of your anti-wrinkle skincare products down the décolletage is a start. But it’s better to choose the right ones!

To avoid accentuating décolletage wrinkles, it is best to sleep on your back. Moreover, it’s during the night that the skin regenerates the best. So after your evening make-up removal, apply a smoothing and plumping serum to your face and apply it all the way down to your décolletage. Next, apply a smoothing balm with a light, comforting texture that melts naturally into the skin. The combination of these products ensures that you wake up to rested skin, smoother features and reduced wrinkles. 

BOOST THE ACTION OF ANTI-WRINKLE PRODUCTS ON THE DÉCOLLETAGE

Here are some self-massage techniques to reduce the appearance of décolletage wrinkles

 

Smoothing out wrinkles on the décolletage

To boost the effect of these products on your décolletage, hold each of the wrinkles between your index and middle fingers, then smooth them with the tip of the other index finger, from the bottom to the top and from the inside to the outside of the décolletage.

Pinching wrinkles on the décolletage

You can also opt for the Jacquet pinch technique: this involves pinching the wrinkles of the décolletage with the thumb and forefinger, and moving up along each of them. This time it should be done on clean, dry skin.
