The neckline is one of the most attractive areas of our body, but it is also the most sensitive to hormonal changes and the passage of time. Over the years, it changes in shape and size, and it is the area that suffers the first signs of aging.
In this area, the skin has less fibroblasts, it is thinner and, therefore, tends to sag. In addition, it does not have its own muscles and is one of the areas of the body most exposed to the sun, wind and pollution throughout the year, so it needs the most care. If you want to take care of and enhance the décolleté area, take note of these simple tips:
1. Nourish it thoroughly
The skin of the chest need large doses of hydration, otherwise the nipple tends to crack. After the shower, apply oils and serums that nourish it in depth.
2. Improve its smoothness
Use cosmetics with a tightening effect daily . It incorporates activators of collagen synthesis, which is responsible for the firmness of the skin.
3. Tone
Both the circular massages on the chest and a final jet of cold water in the shower - both always in an upward direction - tone the tissues around the bust. Very simple routines that will not cost you anything to follow.
4. Good posture
It is very important to maintain an upright position if you work seated. Also try to walk straight, since if you curve your back you favor the fall of the chest.
5. Choose your bra well
The size number (85, 90, 95…) refers to the length of the entire chest contour (back included). And the letters correspond to the cup, that is, to the volume of the breast itself (A is the smallest, the next is B, C, D …). Find out if the bra you are wearing fits your size well.
If you exercise. Choose a sports bra to slow down the "rebound effect" as it can damage the ligaments in the area.
6. Exfoliate the cleavage
Practice a weekly cleavage scrub using a mild product instead of the horsehair glove.
7. Protect it from the sun
We tend to protect the face, but sometimes we forget the neck and cleavage. The end result is unsightly spots and freckles, so remember to always apply a highly protective cream to this area.
8. Keep the muscle in place
The breast is made up of three parts: the mammary gland, the adipose tissue, and the skin envelope. To keep the joint firm, you must act on the pectoral muscle, which is the only one that provides some support to the mammary gland. Swimming is one of the best sports you can do to strengthen this muscle.
9. Practice stretching
Sitting up with your back straight, raise one arm and stretch it out as far as possible. Meanwhile, the other must remain down along the body, acting as a counterweight. Repeat with the other arm and do it 15 times on each side.
10. Use weights
With a 1 kilo weight in each hand (you can use two large bottles of water if you don't have weights) stretch both arms in front of you, at chest level. Cross your arms one over the other at the wrist, alternating the movement 15 times.
And if you want to get the most out of the neckline area
- If you have little chest. Use loose powder, applying a shade darker than your skin on the sternum line.
- If you want to enhance a round neckline. Brush with highlighting powder.
- The neckline of the clothes. The most favors small chest is the halter (tied behind the neck), while the word of honor or type tub favor more women with a bulky chest.
