Taking care of the skin on the face is certainly a priority for many women. However, the neck and décolleté area is unfortunately neglected by many. However, the skin of this area is more sensitive than the rest of the body, thinner and has few sebaceous glands. In addition, it is particularly exposed to the weather and the sun's harmful rays. How can you keep your bust looking young for as long as possible? Here are some tips and tricks!
During a woman's life, the skin undergoes many trials: stress, fatigue, pregnancy, menopause, hormonal imbalances, etc...
Premature aging of the skin is also due to bad lifestyle habits such as: drug or alcohol abuse, junk food, sedentary lifestyle and lack of sleep are some examples. Let’s see how we can help keep our skin looking beautiful and youthful longer.
1-Have a daily beauty routine
- -Every morning, cleanse the face, neck and décolleté area thoroughly with a mild soap that is not drying to the skin. Then, gently dry the skin with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub! This can irritate and cause redness. It is important to remove impurities from the skin before applying a suitable skin care product.
-Continue with the application of a bust and décolleté care. Massage the product delicately with upward movements (from the base of the breasts while going up to the neck), it is very important not to make downward movements because it will increase the laxity of the skin. During the day, use a light, lifting product (preferably a gel texture). Also, apply a sun protection (minimum SPF30) to protect you from the sun's harmful rays. In the evening, opt for a more nourishing and moisturizing care, the skin needs a good dose of hydration at the end of the day. Apply your cream while being bare-breasted so as not to forget any part of your décolleté. Massage well to make penetrate the active ingredients of the product.
-Gently exfoliate your skin once a week with a very fine grain, massaging gently so as not to damage the skin.
