Day creams, night creams, masks, and hyaluronic acid treatments: we constantly try to keep our facial skin well cared for every day.
However, we often forget about our neck and décolleté. As a result, many expression lines appear in the chest area over time. We’ll show you 5 tricks to prevent or eliminate wrinkles on your décolleté.
Causes of wrinkles on the décolleté and chest
Just like with wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, aging is the main cause of fine lines and sagging skin on the neck, chest, and décolleté (upper torso).
With each birthday, the collagen in our skin, which gives it structure, degrades a little more. The result: the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and drier, making it look less firm, sagging, and wrinkled. However, there are other factors that could cause wrinkles to appear on the décolleté and chest.
1. Sun Damage
Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light (think of how shirts, dresses, and swimsuits leave these same areas exposed) accelerates the natural aging process, degrades the skin’s collagen and elastin (the connective tissue that keeps it youthful and firm), and causes the skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. When this happens, the skin begins to sag and wrinkle.
2. A Neglected Body Area
When you wash and moisturize your face in the morning and before bed each night, you might not always include your neck, chest, and décolletage. If you neglect cleansing, moisturizing, and nourishing these areas—as well as your cheeks, forehead, chin, nose, etc.—the negative effects accumulate over time.
3. Sleeping on your side
