The décolleté is, relatively speaking, one of the "poorest" areas in terms of the degree of grooming and care for the vast majority of women. Cosmetologists see this very well in every procedure - even at the age of 30-35 +/- the skin is elastic, smooth, without wrinkles and age spots, then, approaching the age of 40, it ages instantly, quickly and dramatically. . It loses its smoothness, elasticity and tone, slackness and folds appear - especially in the long neck between the mammary glands. Similarly, the area between the neck and collarbone. And the topic of rejuvenation procedures is becoming very relevant.
It depends on the neckline of women, often they "do not reach their hands". If the neck still gets its fair share of conditioning cream - and "extra" for the face, which should at least "smear" somewhere, then very, very few fall under it. Body cream - frankly - not every woman uses it. Yes, and in a beauty salon, most procedures are performed on the face - the neck is involved in them, but, unfortunately, the décolleté very rarely takes the part of pleasure. Legs, especially heels, are nourished much more with nourishing creams.
Beauticians perfectly see this sad picture sitting in their working chairs - it opens to our eyes in all its glory. And they often combine facial procedures with décolleté skin care.
Neckline: the face ends here!
The skin in this area is much weaker than in the front - there is no dense pancreatic layer, there are few sebaceous glands - against this background, daily constant home care is very important. And in fact, it is no different from facial care - the same cleansing, toning, the use of serums, masks and face creams. Expand the face area up to the upper part of the chest and thus constantly nourish and moisturize the décolleté area. Even observance of such simple rules will have a beneficial effect on his appearance.
And what if you combine the care of this area at home with professional procedures in the office of the beautician? It is also very convenient as it takes place in parallel and does not require unnecessary waste of time. Yes, on behalf of the client, this will slightly increase the cost of the procedure - each cosmetologist decides in his own way, by mutual agreement with the client about this. Such options are especially convenient when the client begins facial care - in this case, the specialist has at least 10 sessions to restore tone, moisture and care for the décolleté area. And the woman is interested in remembering that the face ends in the upper chest, and that is at least. Neck and décolleté are included in this field by default.
Professional maintenance: what manual methods can be offered
The simplest and relatively inexpensive thing to do at no extra cost during a professional procedure is to work parallel to the chest area using the same tools. Manual cleansing and gentle periodic superficial exfoliation is the start. Acid products have proven themselves very well for care - masks, special acid gels and serums, as well as peels. For example, in the lines of the same manufacturers of glycolic acid - professional cosmetics, such positions are always present.
After washing and drying the skin, applying such a preparation is a matter of seconds. Leave it to act for 15-20 minutes, depending on the instructions, and strict adherence to it, especially when it comes to chemical peels. However, full-fledged procedures in the décolleté using chemical acids are a separate task, and due to the peculiarities of working with chemical peels, it makes sense to do them separately from the face. But various acid-containing serums and masks are a completely different matter, they are easier and easier to combine with face work. Manufacturers recommend covering some products with a film to improve their work and, accordingly, the result. And do the usual procedure on the face.
After the specified time has elapsed, the acid preparation is quickly washed off - and here there is already more room for imagination. Serums with glycosaminoglycans, ampoules with elastin and collagen, nourishing, moisturizing or lifting masks, seaweed masks with subsequent "warm-ups" - any preparation from the arsenal of every cosmetologist will suit the décolleté area. There are masks that manufacturers recommend to warm up slightly before applying to enhance their effect. It is very convenient to do this in a glass of hot water - an impromptu water bath by placing a bowl of the required amount on it. While the make-up removal and cleansing phase is done, the contents of the bowl will have time to warm up completely. It should be noted that this is very comfortable for customers only in the autumn-winter period - a warm mass covered with a film on top helps a lot to relax.
Similarly, you can work with the hands - another weak part of the body in women. Given that the skin on the hands is much harder and rougher, it is worth connecting scrubs and special hand creams from the arsenal of paraffin therapy. Cold paraffin is an excellent choice for a beautician's office. Scrubbing, nutrient mass, cold paraffin, gloves, and then warming - such a procedure will have a very noticeable effect on the condition of the hands.
While the beautician works with wrinkles on the face, all this time the mask will strengthen and smooth the skin of the décolleté area. Well, when the post-treatment mask is on the face, 10-15-20 minutes of work is quite enough time for the beautician to move on to the upper chest and significantly improve the procedure with hardware methods.
Neckline: hardware capabilities
Hardware methods significantly expand the possibilities of care and rejuvenation of the décolleté area of a beauty salon. When it comes to physiological and safe methods, the following procedures hold the palm firmly:
- vacuum massage
- Microcurrent therapy
- RF removal
The most suitable option for a specialist is vacuum massage. Due to the fact that it can be performed on the same nourishing or lifting mask - often because they contain various oils.
Therefore, after applying the last mask on the face, it is easy to move to the décolleté without spending time and additional resources - just remove the film. The skin is prepared with pre-processes and is made ready for further processes. We recommend buying vacuum ball nozzles for work. Their action is softer than glass, they need very little oil or cream - quite enough for the job, given the nutritional basis of the applied products. Such active exposure of 10-15 minutes in each procedure - and not noticing turgor, tone, smoothing of wrinkles will be very problematic.
An important additional bonus for the client is the examination of the anterior part of the upper limbs and the entire girdle of the trapezius muscles with nozzles during this procedure. In fact, this is a massage applied to the anterior part of the stress-related area. In addition to strengthening and rejuvenating the décolleté area, the person receives a wonderful relaxing and regenerating massage.
From a practical point of view, it is very convenient to perform the procedure of microcurrent therapy and RF lifting on the neckline. This will take more time - when choosing this option, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned so that the electric current passes. In terms of purely technical performance of RF lifting work, it is somewhat easier to do - but this is already a matter of choice, individual preferences and technical capabilities of a particular specialist. In addition, you can improve procedures with diamond microdermabrasion, ultrasonic peeling, electroporation, which allows a specific device. Even 7-10 such procedures can significantly strengthen, heal, smooth and rejuvenate the skin of the décolleté area.
With the arrival of spring, when the warm sweaters are replaced by lighter blouses, then blouses, t-shirts, sundresses and off-the-shoulder dresses, restoration procedures carried out in winter to rejuvenate the decollete skin will be very beneficial. And the woman will meet the spring and enter the summer with straight shoulders and a proudly raised head.
