décolleté skin care

DécolletéTeam

I’ve already told you that every time I wear a low-ish neckline, my friend Lesa accuses me of having got sun on my décolleté. And I confessed that she’s sort of right — I did get sun, but not recently. The stubbornly darker skin on my upper chest is due to a number of years of inadequate sun protection. I’d remember my face, but not the skin revealed by my necklines. My bad.

Some time ago I mentioned to Rhonda Rovan, Best Health‘s beauty editor, that I’d heard someone say a woman’s décolleté reveals her true age. Next thing I knew I was researching and writing this Best Health story on how to rejuvenate that oft-neglected area. Seems the neck and upper chest is the new anti-aging frontier, in fact. [geek on]

ClinidermGentleProtectiveLotion_SPF45Every time my friend Lesa sees me in a low neckline, she points at my décolleté and says accusingly, “You got sun!” Well, she’s right. I did. But not this year. Not last year, either. Or the year before.

The reddish tone on my upper chest is my scarlet letter — letters, actually, and they spell sun damage, accumulated over years of forgetting to apply and re-apply SPF to protect the fragile skin revealed by my clothing necklines. It’s now older-looking skin, the result of mostly incidental sun exposure, and I didn’t know it was too late until one day I noticed the redness refused to fade. [geek on]
