When it comes to aging, most of us are worried about what happens to our face. Will we get wrinkles? Crow's feet? Forehead lines? We act like the rest of our body doesn't exist--but there's actually certain places that age faster than our faces.
One body part that will likely age before your face is your décolletage. You know, the upper part of your torso. It's your neck/upper chest/shoulders/back area, and you really need to pay attention to it if you're trying to prevent aging (or at least put it off a few years!).
NYC-based dermatologist Patricia Wexler, MD, of Wexler Dermatology tells Yahoo! Beauty, "Similar to the delicate skin on your face, your décolletage is extremely vulnerable to damage, especially from the sun." So you really should reapply sunscreen to this area just as often as you do to your face.
To prevent chest lines or other signs of aging in this area, Dr. Wexler recommends using anti-aging moisturizers and applying SPF 45 every day. Doing both will keep your décolletage smooth and hydrated!
