Gently apply the cream on the face – and do not forget about the neck and décolleté. This is exactly what daily care should be, so as not to subsequently suffer from the question of how to remove wrinkles on the neckline.
The main causes of wrinkles in the neckline
Let’s start with the fact that the skin in the décolleté area is very thin, there is a minimal fat layer and few sebaceous glands. In addition, the neck and décolleté, along with the face, are most often open. Therefore, this area is most prone to age-related transformations:
dryness
withering;
the appearance of creases and wrinkles;
pigmentation.
Various factors contribute to the appearance of these signs, many of them are directly related to our lifestyle.
Violation of posture: the weaker the muscular frame, the more we stoop, hold the neck incorrectly. Wrinkles appear first on the neck, and after them on the weakened chest area.
UV: We’ve known for a long time that sunscreen protects against photoaging. And now attention: how often do you apply it on the neck and chest area? We suspect that there are few raised hands. Hence the loss of elasticity, wrinkles in the neckline, etc.
Love for gadgets: when we bow our heads to a smartphone or computer, wrinkles form on the neck, and the skin of the decollete gradually loses its elasticity.
Improper or insufficient care: with a lack of moisture, the décolleté area can easily become dry and sensitive.
So the question of how to remove wrinkles in the décolleté at home is not at all idle and at some point confronts every woman. Test yourself with a quiz. Isn’t it time for you to connect to better skin care?
How to remove wrinkles in the décolleté area at home
How to get rid of wrinkles in the neckline, if they have already appeared? First, pay attention to the reasons listed above and try to avoid negative factors so as not to aggravate the problem. In addition, you should activate regular competent care and do everything possible so that the skin in the chest area receives its portion of hydration, nutrition – in a word, real care.
Self massage
The first thing you can do to reduce wrinkles in the décolleté area is self-massage. The recommended set of movements is very well described by Lancôme brand experts. An elementary and at the same time effective complex self-massage is easy and convenient to do when applying the cream on the face, neck and decollete.
Take a small amount of cream, about the size of a hazelnut, spread on the fingers of both hands.
Apply a portion of the cream with one hand on both cheeks, forehead, chin and nose (treat the T-zone last, as it does not need a lot of cream). Warm up the rest in the palms and make wide smoothing movements along the massage lines from the center to the periphery. On the forehead from the center to the temples, on the cheeks and cheekbones – from the nose to the ears, from the chin – to the earlobes. Then sliding movements along the sides of the neck from top to bottom, then along the wings of the nose (synchronously), the space above the lip, under the lip and under the chin. Repeat three times.
To work with the décolleté area, also take a small amount of cream, warm it up in the palms of your hands and apply with sliding movements from the area under the chin to the space under the collarbones from top to bottom, first with one hand, then with the other. This is an excellent prevention of creases in the neckline.
We make stroking confident movements from the center of the chest towards the shoulders three times on one side and on the other. Then, with soft circular movements, we work out the line under the collarbones from the center – to the shoulder, smoothly moving to the trapezius, almost always very tense muscles, we rise along them to the neck and again slide down to the area under the collarbones. Repeat three times on both sides.
Massage will not only help to easily distribute the product over the skin, but also improve blood and lymph circulation, and gently eliminate excess muscle tone.
For the greatest effect, it is worth doing self-massage using a suitable cream. Here are our favorites that will help reduce wrinkles in the décolleté area.

Suitable cosmetic care
An obligatory part of the anti-wrinkle program on the neckline is adequate and thoughtful care. What does it mean? When you apply a face cream, in no case do not forget about the care of the neck and décolleté. For this, oils, creams, serums or fluids with a special mark “for the neck and décolleté” are suitable.
What components in creams should be paid special attention to? Valeria Khokhlova believes that the same ones that we usually look for in the composition of regenerating and anti-aging products.
Vegetable oils that mimic skin lipids and ceramides are the building blocks that strengthen the protective barrier, since the skin of the neck is delicate and prone to dehydration.
Moisturizers – hyaluronic acid, glycerin, amino acids.
Anti-aging components – retinoids, vitamin C, antioxidants, peptides, active plant molecules.
Again, don’t forget sun protection.

How to remove creases in the neckline at a session with a beautician
Today, prolonging the youth and beauty of the skin has become much easier than, say, ten years ago. It is not necessary to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon in order to restore a young oval to the face and make the skin even and smooth. It is enough to start a cosmetic care program on time under the strict guidance of an esthetician. A beautician will help remove or at least minimize wrinkles in the décolleté area. In addition to superficial peels and all kinds of masks, a number of procedures are available to patients today.
Non-injection mesotherapy
It is carried out with a mesoscooter – a device with many needles that cause microtrauma to the skin. As a result, cell renewal is accelerated, they receive an impulse to regenerate, and at the same time prepare the skin for a better perception of hyaluronic acid or peptide preparations.
Plasmolifting
This procedure makes the cells work harder, renew themselves. As a result, the skin becomes more elastic and dense. To do this, blood is taken from the client from a vein, driven through a special centrifuge, the plasma is separated, saturated with platelets and injected into the skin again.
bioreinforcement
Hyaluronic acid filler injections help make the skin firmer and more even. Working in the deep layers of the skin, they recreate the skin frame, fill wrinkles from the inside and promote collagen synthesis.
How to prevent wrinkles on the neckline
Of course, preventing wrinkles on the neckline is easier than fighting them. Therefore, we propose to stick to the following tactics.
Keep your back.
Try not to slouch or crane your neck as you walk.
Regularly carry out water procedures.
A contrast shower helps the skin to cheer up, promotes its elasticity and tone.
Use funds with SPF.
When applying the cream on the face, do not forget to grab the neck and décolleté areas. These areas are no less susceptible to the adverse effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Drink enough water.
It is difficult to calculate the rate of fluid intake, everything is individual. But the optimal daily dose is 30 ml of water per kilogram of body weight.
Ensure healthy sleep.
Women over 45 are often puzzled by the question of how to prevent creases on the neckline after sleep. Five years ago, cosmetologists recommended not to sleep on your stomach, but now we have come up with orthopedic pillows that fix the neck well and have a positive effect on the skin condition, so you can sleep in any position that is comfortable for you.
