You’ve probably received this advice from your mother or grandmother but in case you hadn’t, did you know that skincare products should be applied from your chest up to your face? The neck and chest (or decollétage, as it’s also known) is an area that is often forgotten and as a result, is prone to premature ageing, pigmentation and sun damage.
The skin of the décolletage is also incredibly thin and delicate, making it all the more susceptible to these things. In order to take care of your neck and chest, it’s important to treat it much the same way you do with your face. This means cleansing, moisturising and applying SPF products to the area.
If you’re in need of a little help with caring for your décolletage or want to treat specific things in this area (like pigmentation, for example), we have rounded up the best products for the job:
RAWKANVAS
