Summer reveals all the mistakes

Most of the year, the hair or a collar hides the view of the neck. Even the décolleté is not visible most of the time. In summer and on festive occasions in an evening dress, a quick glance at the décolleté reveals the truth relentlessly.

There the skin is particularly thin and sensitive. While the face is often covered with several sun protection filters, powder and sunglasses, the delicate skin on the décolleté is all too often exposed to the sun’s rays and other environmental influences on sunny days with too little protection.

Time to pay more attention to your décolleté and make the following things a routine part of your everyday life and summer vacation. Because routine reaps rewards when it comes to the décolleté.

TREAT YOUR SKIN TO FIVE THINGS EVERY DAY STARTING TODAY

1 ICE COLD IN THE MORNING

Hydrotherapy uses the effect of cold water, which leads to increased blood circulation. At the end of the daily shower, a cold (but gentle) jet of water should therefore be briefly directed at the décolleté.

2 GENTLE EXFOLIATION

The delicacy of the skin in the décolleté area requires particularly gentle exfoliation. Once a month is sufficient. You can easily prepare the scrub yourself, for example from coffee grounds.

3 MOISTURE, MOISTURE, MOISTURE

The same moisturizer can be used for the décolleté as for the face. It is important to always extend the day and evening routine to this part of the body and not end at the neck.

From time to time, for example when a particularly important or beautiful event is on the horizon and you want to pamper the skin of your décolleté more than usual, a special nourishing cream is recommended.

We have had very good experiences with the Pharmos décolleté cream. The company works with sustainably grown plants in all its products and in most cases does not use water or alcohol in its products.

You can feel the gentle effect of this cream as soon as you apply it.

4 YOU CAN’T DO WITHOUT SUN PROTECTION AND AFTER SUN PRODUCTS

Hardly any part of the body is less forgiving of sins in the sun. This speaks for the highest possible sun protection filter. Consistently on every day when the sun shines.

Otherwise, the same applies here: Better no sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

A sun hat with a very wide brim not only looks good, but also offers more protection for the décolleté.

BEAUTIFUL LEGS REQUIRE DISCIPLINE

On summer evenings, you should pamper your skin with cooling and nourishing after-sun products. The Hydra-Soothing Lotion from Thalgo provides the skin with soothing care substances and gives the décolleté a fine pearly shimmer.

If a golden glow effect is desired, this can also be achieved with the Shimmering Dry Oil French Riviera from Thalgo. The nourishing oil spray has a relaxing effect and leaves the skin glowing with fine fragrances of frangipani and coconut. Tropical feeling at home too.

Thalgo is a cosmetics company founded in 1964 by a French pharmacist who specialized in the development of skin care products based on algae and marine extracts, which are used in particular in thalassotherapy.

5 ATTITUDE DECIDES

Spending hours bent forward in front of the computer is bad for your neck and not good for your décolleté either. Always remember to maintain an upright posture.

If you don’t have time for an extensive workout, the temple dancer exercise – pressing your palms against each other at chest height and pushing them alternately to the right and left – 12 times a day helps the décolleté and is easy to do anywhere.

Do not forget

Not only on the décolleté and neck, but also on the hands, it is very easy to read years of sun damage. Don’t forget to protect your hands from the sun.
