Applying a normal anti-aging cream to the neck and décolleté is a gesture that should be inserted into your daily routine. To care for this area, there are special creams for the décolleté. Almost similar to anti-aging face creams, neckline creams will also focus on the specific needs of the neck area: elasticity, tone and firmness. In this way, the cream limits the appearance of small wrinkles or the premature slackening of the skin.
These creams are also composed of a sun protection factor to protect the décolleté from the aggressive rays of the sun, which are also factors in skin aging.

Les crèmes pour décolleté
Creams intended for the décolleté must be composed of hyaluronic acid to stimulate the production of collagen and thus improve the elasticity of the skin.
To choose a good cream, you must choose one adapted to your skin type (normal, oily, dry) and check that its texture is not too thick.
Les gommages
A neckline scrub should be done with a scrubbing cream composed of very fine grains intended for the face. By performing it once a week, the neckline scrub will help stimulate blood circulation and promote cell renewal.
After each exfoliation, it is important to apply a moisturizing cream to the area in question.
Les huiles pour retendre la peau du décolleté
Certaines huiles végétales Some vegetable oils have active ingredients that help the skin regain its elasticity. They are therefore ideal to take care of the décolleté by preventing sagging skin.
The most effective oils are rose hip oil, jojoba oil,, argan oil,fig oil and grape seed oil. Flower-based oils are also appreciated because, in addition to their benefits, they bring a nice floral scent to the skin.
Décolleté, son besoin en protection solaire
In the summer, by the pool or at the beach, it is customary to protect yourself by spreading sunscreen all over your body. However, it is not only at these times that our neck and neckline need to be protected. We often forget it but even in a T-shirt this zone is exposed to the sun.
Thus, to avoid premature aging of the skin, it is necessary to protect oneself from UVA rays which are present all year round. These ultraviolet rays are responsible for the majority of skin problems: wrinkles, spots and loss of skin firmness.
Fortunately, most day creams for the face and neckline now have a minimum sun protection factor to protect the skin at all times. However, in summer, it is better to add a second, more powerful sun protection to prevent skin aging and the risk of sunburn.
