How To Age-Proof Your Décolleté

Hello, my name is Emma. I am a freelance beauty expert working for Melvita. I am going to teach you today about your decollete, and this is an area that concerns lots of women and it's certainly something I've been thinking about, because as you get older, you'll notice that the skin here becomes drier and slightly crepe-y.

The skin here is very thin but it's also very very delicate, and it's actually completely unprotected. As you can see, I've got a little bit of sun damage here. So I want to ensure that my decollete remains completely line free.

The first thing I'm going to do is make sure that I actually treat this area as if it were my face, because so often we neglect this area. So, the first thing I'm going to do is apply a beautiful cleansing milk, this one actually has honey in it and olive; olive is very hydrating. And what I do, I always apply this product in lovely sweeping movements, now because everything should be upwards, never pull anything down in this area.

So you can simply apply it, and that smells really beautiful and fresh. And there we are, that's completely cleansed. So this routine can really be incorporated into your daily cleansing routine and doesn't need to be done in a special way, it can be very much incorporated.

There's no need to just finish your routine down to here (face), you can bring it right down here to the breast bone. So I'm actually going to remove that gel with a micellar cleansing water, and this is wonderful because it contains essentials of rose and neroli which are very fantastic for stressed skin. So of course, everything is going to be upwards, so I move upwards with my cleansing, up to the neck.

And again, and that's really all I need to cleanse the area. So I'm going to finish my routine with a wonderful bust gel which is going to tone and firm the area. And this contains a really rare ingredient called kigelia oil which is sometimes called the sausage plant which has been used for centuries in Africa to tone this area, so it's got a long history.

Now, you don't need very much of this, it's very light, so don't worry about applying it to your skin just before you've put clothes on. It also contains wonderful orange oil which is going to brighten the skin and this is often an area which has a lot of age spots. So, again upwards movements, just move it upwards like so.

If you want to, you can include the lower side of your breasts as well. And that's how to age proof your decollete.
