While they are among the first areas to reveal signs of skin aging, the neck and décolleté are often ignored in skincare rituals. However, these parts of our body are among the most fragile. Discover our simple tips for taking care of it as well as the massage tools to use to relax muscle tension and prevent premature aging.
Opt for gentle, regular cleaning
Gentle cleansing is fundamental to having healthy, glowing skin, and this applies just as much to the neck and décolleté as it does to the face. These areas, often neglected, accumulate makeup residue and impurities throughout the day. Regular and delicate cleaning is essential to preserve this part of the body which becomes thinner and more fragile over the years. This also helps protect the skin's natural barrier and prevents irritation. For example, you can use cleansing jelly , an extremely gentle melting jelly to clean the skin without irritating it, enriched with calendula flower extract to soothe and purify the skin.
Do massages regularly
Neck and décolleté massages with tools such as Gua Sha, roller or ball offer a multitude of benefits for skin health. These massage techniques help stimulate blood circulation, thereby promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. This improves skin elasticity and promotes a more radiant complexion. These massage tools also help relax tense muscles in the neck and décolleté, reducing tension and discomfort. By releasing muscle tension, these massages can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
For example, Gua Sha Quartz , with its flat, smooth shape, can be used to massage and smooth the skin, promoting circulation and helping to eliminate toxins. The Quartz roller offers a cooling sensation while stimulating and toning the skin. Finally, the massage ball , through its texture and shape, can target specific points, providing a more targeted and deeper massage. It is ideal for eliminating tension and obtaining an immediate tightening effect.
Intensely and regularly moisturize your neck and décolleté
The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner and prone to dehydration. Use a moisturizer, rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils. Regular hydration maintains skin suppleness and prevents dryness. To do this, just after applying your moisturizer to your face, you can also apply it to your neck, then your décolleté, in the morning and evening. For example, we recommend the rich cream , a moisturizing cream with an enveloping texture developed for dry and dehydrated skin, or the fluid cream ideal for normal to combination skin.
Use sun protection daily
The neck and décolleté, often neglected in sun protection routines, are actually among the most vulnerable areas of our body. Their delicate skin is prone to damage from UV rays, leading to premature aging, the appearance of wrinkles, and even the risk of skin cancer. Daily use of sun protection suitable for these areas is crucial to prevent these harmful effects. Sunscreens provide an essential barrier against UVA and UVB rays, preserving the youthfulness and radiance of the skin. By incorporating this simple habit into your daily routine, you can ensure the long-term health of your neck and décolleté.
Don't forget to gently exfoliate these delicate parts of your body
Regular exfoliation of the neck and décolleté plays a vital role in maintaining glowing and healthy skin. By removing dead cells from the surface, exfoliation prevents pore clogging, reducing the appearance of pigment spots. In addition, it smoothes the texture of the skin, providing an even complexion and a softer appearance. This process also stimulates cell turnover, helping to fade scars and dark spots. Choose a gentle exfoliant for the skin, such as the Anti-Grisaille peeling mask which helps rid the skin of impurities without damaging it.
Choose a healthy lifestyle
Just like your facial skin, having a healthy lifestyle helps prevent premature aging of your neck and décolleté while contributing to the hydration and general good health of your skin. Thus, it is recommended to abstain from tobacco and limit alcohol consumption, two habits that can accelerate the skin aging process. At the same time, maintaining adequate hydration is essential. Water is the foundation of skin health, helping to flush out toxins and maintain elasticity. By ensuring sufficient internal hydration, you promote the luminosity and suppleness of your skin.
