DecolletWith so much focus on anti-aging skincare, why is it that we often overlook our decollet , the most age revealing part of our bodies? The skin on the decolletage is one of the first places women show their age. The skin is fine, thin and very delicate, and tends to show sunspots and lines easily with age. Women also tend to overlook this area when it comes to skincare, not realizing they should be treating it with just as much care as their face. The good news is that it’s not too late to change the destiny of your decolletage by changing your skincare regime from the chest up. First, cleanse your chest with the same cleanser as you use on your face and follow with a moisturizer. Keeping this area moisturized is the easiest way to prevent aging and dryness. Apply the same treatment on your chest as you do on your face, including any anti-wrinkle creams you may use and always, always follow with sunscreen. 40% of sun damage occurs while you are indoors near windows that let in harmful UV rays, not to mention all the exposure you get being while outdoors. While you can treat the face with peels, these masks are far too harsh for the delicate d collet area. Therefore, you must use other means to exfoliate your d colletage. To naturally remove dead protein cells from the skin look for products containing natural exfoliants like papaya enzyme, or bromelain that is found in pineapple and Vitamin C. These enzymes are good for sensitive skin and work effectively without being too harsh. Vitamin C is very effective in removing sunspots as well. Try lemon or limejuice, they act as natural alpha hydroxy acids and are very effective. Squeeze fresh lemon juice or lime juice into a bowl and apply with a cotton swab to your chest every other night for 2-3 weeks. Take a break for the fourth week and continue again for the fifth week. The following remedies can take up to 6 months, be patient you’ll be glad you were. Not only is premature wrinkling on the d collet caused by the sun, it is also caused by the way you sleep. To get rid of the wrinkles along your bust line, get in the habit of sleeping on your back instead of on your side. Sleeping is the second cause of wrinkles, after the sun, and when you sleep on your side you are ironing in wrinkles into your skin. On average, you are spending over 2,500 hours per year reversing the positive effects of your skincare treatments just in your sleep. Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists, Estheticians, and Movie Stars have been using this technique for years. Try Vasseur Skincare’s Beauty Pillow specially designed to prevent wrinkles. The following active ingredients work wonders in preventing and treating aging of the décolleté. Vitamin C and Esther C breaks down and removes dead protein cells without the harshness of peels. Ester C Cream can restore a smooth surface and a youthful glow to aging skin and is essential for the production of collagen. It also works near miracles when it comes to inflammation. Vitamin C Ester cream is best for treating fine lines and wrinkles on sun damaged skin, and perfect for treating the overly exposed d colletage. It also treats sagging skin that is losing its firmness caused by damaged or lost collagen. DMAE is a firming agent that is an instant anti-aging face-lift and can dramatically improve the appearance of sagging skin and fine lines. When taken orally DMAE also acts as an anti-oxidant and as an added bonus, it boosts the effects of other antioxidants, resulting in increased smoothness, brightness and line reduction. ALA, alpha lipoic acid, is one of nature's most powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It also boosts the effectiveness of other antioxidants, making them much more powerful, ALA does for the skin what other treatments cannot and works to improve the overall appearance of the skin. ALA is great for preventing and treating damaged skin and is effective against scars, wrinkles and fine lines. In addition to making your skin look fabulous, alpha lipoic acid is natural and nontoxic. It is perfect for people who are prone to allergic reactions to other types of skin products. Idebenone is a cousin to the antioxidant Coenzyme Q10. Idebenone is the most effective antioxidant known for skincare today and the most potent of all wrinkle cure antioxidants. It protects cells from deterioration. Studies suggest that Idebenone shields skin from environmental damage, improves the appearance of fine lines, reduces dryness, and smoothes skin texture. Idebenone has recently been hailed as more potent and more effective than vitamins A, C and E at preventing sun damage. Idebenone actually repairs the skin while the sun takes its toll. The bottom line is that it is never too late to reverse the effects of aging and sun damage on your d colletage. Taking care of your skin is a daily process, so treat your d colletage with the same care as your face. Look for products with effective active ingredients and use sun protection every single day of the year. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, it is one of the most vital organs as well as the most visible!
