Suncare Sunday- the décolleté

Don't forget about your decollate! This weekend we had a lovely BBQ in the garden. It was sunny out and everyone had their sunscreen on. What I didn't ask was where did you put it....my sister-in-law is very fair and burns easily when in the sun. She had sunscreen in her daily facial  moisturiser, but didn't apply it low enough to have the coverage in her decollate. There was a neat collar of red just below her neck line. 


The decollate is an extension to the face in many ways- physical obviously! But also in the delicate skin that is on the face and it gets the same exposure to the elements as the face. This is an often overlooked area because people associate it with the body. You may get your legs or arms out when it's sunny, but with the different clothing designs a part of the decollate is exposed everyday, unless you live in turtlenecks all year round! 

So make sure when you cleanse, tone, exfoliate, moisturise, mask- everything you do (or should be doing) to your face you do to your decollate because it will show signs of ageing just like the face and often will show signs before the face if it's under cared for.
