We all know the basics of caring for our faces, but what about the skin on the rest of our body? One of the most neglected areas of skin is your décolletage — aka the skin on your neck and chest. While we’re lathering our faces with gentle cleansers and anti-aging face creams, often our chests and necks are not getting the same level of attention. “The skin of the décolletage is thin and delicate,” says board-certified dermatologist and Skincare.com consultant, Dr. Elizabeth B. Houshmand. “This is one of the first areas of your body to show signs of aging, and it is important to care for it.”If you’ve noticed a change in skin texture or appearance on your décolletage — acne, dryness or a crepey feel, just to name a few — then your routine could probably use an upgrade. Below, Dr. Houshmand and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ariel Ostad share a handful of tips for keeping your chest and neck happy, hydrated and looking refreshed. Read on to find out how to recharge your décolletage.
