The décolletage (dec) refers to the chest area, below your clavicle bones and just above the breast. The skin on your neck and dec are quite different to that of the face, making them more prone to signs of ageing. This is because the skin on both of these areas is thinner, has less fat and there are very fewer sebaceous glands here. The reduced amount of oil can create more dryness and the thinner skin is more likely to show the signs of ageing such as reduced skin laxity and crepey texture.

How to treat an ageing neck
As we get older, the neck is often one of the first areas to really show our age. The skin in this area is much thinner and is therefore prone to ageing. We often forget to apply sunscreen to this area focusing on the face and this delicate skin gets forgotten. The skin loses elasticity and begins to sag, or we develop a small pocket of fat in the submental (under chin) area. Factors such as genetics, weight gain or loss, photo-ageing from UV exposure and overactive platysmal bands can all contribute to how the neck ages.
