💓Decolletage Care – Why Your Neck and Chest Deserve Attention

De’-col-le-tage. If you want to hear the proper pronunciation, give it a quick listen [here]. Once you know it, it just sticks—and it’s much nicer than saying “turkey neck” or “crepey chest.”

I didn’t really think about my decolletage until I splurged on Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty kit—a whole lineup of face and neck creams. I used it for a while until it leaked onto my dresser, ruining the finish. Not the product’s fault—cheap furniture, I guess—but that experience taught me one thing: your neck and chest deserve attention.

Why Care About Your Decolletage?

• Signs of aging appear here first. The neck and chest can develop wrinkles and sagging as we age.

• Sun protection is key. Sunscreen helps prevent crepey skin and maintains smoothness.

• Sleeping positions matter. Sleeping on your back may help reduce the pull of gravity, keeping the skin more taut. Though, full disclosure, gravity does affect your breasts as well!

• Moisturize daily. Use whatever lotion or cream you have—just make sure this area is cared for consistently.

• Exfoliation helps. Removing dead skin cells and oil buildup supports smoother, healthier skin. Be mindful of conditioner rinsing, too—it can settle in your cleavage.

I’m not a professional skincare expert, but I’ve noticed the effects of aging in my own decolletage. Paying attention, moisturizing, and protecting this area feels like a small but meaningful self-care ritual.

What About Men?

Absolutely! Men can also benefit from extra care for the neck and chest. Sunscreen, hydration, and exfoliation aren’t gender-specific—they’re just good habits for healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Decolletage care may seem minor, but it’s part of a complete approach to skincare. Whether for confidence, comfort, or longevity, this area deserves your attention.
