Although they are among the first areas to reveal the signs of skin aging, the neck and décolleté are often ignored in skincare rituals. Yet these are among the most fragile parts of our bodies. Discover our simple tips on how to care for them at Appointment , as well as massage tools to help relieve muscular tension and prevent premature aging.
Opt for gentle, regular cleaning
Gentle cleansing is fundamental to healthy, radiant skin, and this applies just as much to the neck and décolleté as it does to the face. These often neglected areas accumulate make-up residue and impurities throughout the day. Regular, gentle cleansing is essential to preserve this part of the body, which becomes thinner and more fragile with age. It also helps protect the skin's natural barrier and prevent irritation. For example, you can use cleansing gelan extremely gentle, melting gel for gentle cleansing, enriched with calendula flower extract to soothe and purify the skin.
Get regular massages
Massaging the neck and décolleté with tools such as the Gua Sha, roller or ball offers a multitude of benefits for skin health. These massage techniques help stimulate blood circulation, promoting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. This improves skin elasticity and promotes a more radiant complexion. These massage tools also help relax tense neck and décolleté muscles, 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 Quartzwith 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 ballwith its texture and shape, can target specific points, offering a more focused, deeper massage. It's ideal for eliminating tension and achieving an immediate tightening effect.
Moisturize your neck and décolleté intensely and regularly
The skin on the neck and décolleté is thinner and more prone to dehydration. Use a moisturizing cream, rich in hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils. Regular moisturizing keeps the skin supple and prevents it from drying out. To do this, just after applying your moisturizing cream to your face, you can also apply it to your neck, then your décolleté, in the morning and evening. For example, we recommend rich creama moisturizing cream with an enveloping texture developed for dry, dehydrated skin, or the fluid cream ideal for normal to combination skin.
Use sun protection every day
The neck and décolleté, often overlooked in sun protection routines, are actually among the most vulnerable areas of our bodies. 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 a sunscreen adapted to these areas is crucial to prevent these damaging effects. Sunscreens provide an essential barrier against UVA and UVB rays, preserving the skin's youth and radiance. 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 radiant, healthy skin. By removing dead cells from the surface, exfoliation prevents clogged pores, reducing the appearance of pigmentation spots. It also smoothes the skin's texture, leaving it even-toned and softer-looking. This process also stimulates cell renewal, helping to fade scars and dark spots. Choose a skin-friendly exfoliant, such as the Anti-Grisaille peeling mask which removes impurities without aggressing the skin.
Favour a healthy lifestyle
As with your facial skin, a healthy lifestyle can help prevent premature aging of your neck and décolleté, while contributing to the hydration and overall health of your skin. For example, we recommend abstaining from tobacco and limiting alcohol consumption, both of which can accelerate the skin-aging process. At the same time, maintaining adequate hydration is essential. Water is the foundation of skin health, helping to eliminate toxins and maintain elasticity. By ensuring sufficient internal hydration, you'll promote luminosity and suppleness in your skin.
