The neckline area is one of the "poorest", relatively speaking, in terms of the degree of hygiene and care for the vast majority of women. Cosmetologists see this very well in each of their procedures - if even at the age of 30-35 +/- years the skin is elastic, smooth, without wrinkles and age spots, then by the age of 40 it ages instantly, quickly and dramatically. It loses its softness, elasticity and tonicity, laxity and folds appear - mainly the long longitudinal between the mammary glands. Likewise, the area between the neck and collarbone. And the issue of rejuvenation procedures becomes very relevant.
It's even the cleavage on women that most of the time "they just can't reach their hands". If the neck still gets its share of care cream - not least the "extra" for the face, which needs to be "smeared" somewhere, very, very few fall below it. Body cream - to be quite blunt - 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 neckline rarely gets its share of pleasure. Even the legs, especially the heels, are much more nourished with nourishing creams.
Beauticians, sitting in their work chair, perfectly see this sad image - it opens up to our eyes in all its glory. And they often combine facial procedures with cleavage skin care.
Neckline: the face ends here!
The skin in this area is much weaker than the front - there is no dense layer of pancreas, there are very few sebaceous glands - in this context, constant daily home care is very important. And indeed, it is no different from facial care - the same cleansing, toning, use of serums, masks and face creams. Expand the face area to the upper chest - and thus constantly nourish and moisturize the décolleté area. Even observing such simple rules will have a beneficial effect on your appearance.
What if you combine the care of this area at home with professional procedures at the beautician's office? In addition, it is very convenient and does not require unnecessary time wasting as it takes place in parallel. Yes, on the client's part, this will slightly increase the cost of the procedure - each beautician decides on this issue with the client in his own way, reaching a mutual agreement. These options are especially convenient when the client starts a course of facials - in this case, the specialist has at least 10 sessions to restore tone, moisture and cleanliness to the décolleté area. And the woman, in turn, is interested in remembering that the face ends at the top of the chest, and that is at least. The neck and décolleté are included in this area by default.
Professional care: what manual methods can be offered
The most basic and relatively inexpensive thing that can be done at no extra cost during a professional procedure is to work with the chest area in parallel, using all the same tools. Gentle periodic surface cleaning and exfoliation by hand is the start. Acid products have proven themselves very well for care - special acid masks, gels and serums, as well as peels. For example, the same glycolic acid - in the lines of professional cosmetics manufacturers, such positions are always present.
After washing and drying the skin, the application of this preparation is a matter of a few seconds. Let it act for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the instructions and with strict observance – especially when it comes to chemical peels. However, complete procedures in the décolleté area using chemical acids are separate work, and it makes sense to perform it separately from the face due to the specifics of working with chemical peels. But a variety of acid-containing serums and masks are a completely different matter, they are increasingly easy to combine with the study of the face. 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, the acidic 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 their subsequent "warming" - any preparation in the arsenal of every cosmetologist will be suitable for the décolleté zone. There are masks that manufacturers advise to heat a little before applying them - to maximize their effect. It is very convenient to do this in a cup of hot water - an improvised water bath, placing a bowl with the required amount. While the makeup removal and cleaning step is being carried out, 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 dough, covered with a film on top, greatly helps to relax.
In the same way, you can work with your hands - another weak part of the body in women. Given that the skin of the hands is much harder and rougher, it is worth adding exfoliants and special hand creams to the paraffin therapy arsenal. Cold paraffin is an excellent choice for a beautician's office. Exfoliation, nourishing mass, cold paraffin, gloves and subsequent heating - this procedure will have a very noticeable effect on the condition of the hands.
While the beautician is working with wrinkles on the face, all the while the mask will strengthen and smooth the skin of the décolleté area. Well, when the final post-procedure mask is on the face, 10-15-20 minutes of your work is a sufficient amount of time for the beautician to switch to the upper chest and significantly improve the procedure with hardware methods.
Neckline: hardware features
Hardware methods significantly expand a salon's possibilities for the care and rejuvenation of the décolleté area. When it comes to physiological and safe methods, the following procedures firmly hold the palm of the hand:
- vacuum massage
- microcurrent therapy
- RF lift
The most convenient option for a specialist is vacuum massage. For the reason that it can be performed in the same nourishing or lifting mask - as they usually include a variety of oils.
Therefore, after applying the final mask to the face, it is easy to switch to the décolleté area without wasting time and additional resources - just remove the film. The skin is prepared by preliminary procedures and is ready for further processing. For work, we advise you to take vacuum ball nozzles. Their action is milder than that of glass, they need a very small amount of oil or cream - given the nutritional basis of the products applied, they are enough for the job. 10-15 minutes of such active exposure with each procedure - and the improvement in turgor, tone, wrinkle smoothing will be very troublesome not to notice.
A significant added bonus for the client is the study of the entire anterior part of the upper limb waist and trapezius muscles with beaks during this procedure. In fact, this is a massage of the front of the stress-dependent zone. In addition to strengthening and rejuvenating the neckline 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 longer - when choosing this option, the skin must be completely clean for the electrical current to pass through. In terms of the purely technical performance of RF lifting work, it's a little easier to do - but this is already a matter of choice, individual preferences and technical capabilities of a specific specialist. In addition, you can enhance procedures with diamond microdermabrasion, ultrasonic peeling, electroporation - which allows for a specific device. Even 7-10 of these procedures can significantly strengthen, improve, smooth and rejuvenate the skin of the décolleté area.
With the advent of spring, when warm blouses are replaced by more open blouses, and then blouses, t-shirts, sundresses and dresses with bare shoulders, restorative procedures performed in winter to rejuvenate the skin of the décolleté will be very useful. And a woman will meet spring and enter summer with her shoulders straight and her head held high.
