The neckline area is one of the "poorest", relatively speaking, in terms of the degree of grooming and care of 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, closer to 40 years it ages instantly, quickly and dramatically. . It loses its smoothness, elasticity and tone, gaps and folds appear, especially the long longitudinal ones between the mammary glands. Similarly, the area between the neck and the collarbone. And the issue of rejuvenation procedures becomes very relevant.
It's down to the neckline in women that most often "just don't get their hands on it. "If the neck still gets its share of care cream, and not least the "extra" for the face, which must be "smeared" somewhere, then very, very few fall under it. Body cream, to be honest, not all women use it. Yes, and in a beauty salon, most of the procedures are carried out on the face: the neck is involved in them, but, unfortunately, the décolletage rarely receives its share of pleasure. Even the legs, especially the heels, are much more nourished with nourishing creams.
The beauticians, sitting in their work chairs, perfectly see this sad image: it opens up to our eyes in all its splendor. And they often combine facial procedures with decolletage skin care.
Neckline: the face ends here!
The skin in this area is much weaker than in front: there is no dense layer of pancreas, there are very few sebaceous glands; in this context, constant daily care at home 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. It expands the face area to the upper chest and thus constantly nourishes and hydrates the neckline area. Even the observance of 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 in the beautician's office? In addition, it is very convenient and does not require unnecessary time losses, since it happens in parallel. Yes, on the part of the client, this will slightly increase the bill for the procedure - each beautician decides this issue with the client in her own way, coming to a mutual agreement. Such options are especially convenient when the client begins a course of facials; in this case, the specialist has at least 10 sessions to restore the tone, moisture and care of the neckline area. And the woman, in turn, is interested in remembering that the face ends in the upper part of the chest, and this is at least. The neck and décolletage are included in this area by default.
Professional care: what manual methods can be offered
The most elementary and relatively inexpensive thing to do at no additional cost during a professional procedure is to work the chest area in parallel, using all the same tools. Cleaning and gentle periodic surface exfoliation by hand is the beginning. 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 cosmetic manufacturers such positions are always present.
After washing and drying the skin, applying said preparation is a matter of a few seconds. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, following the instructions and strictly adhering to them, especially when it comes to chemical peels. However, full décolletage procedures using chemical acids are a separate job, and it makes sense to perform them 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 becoming easier to combine with the study of the face. Manufacturers recommend covering some products with a film to improve their work and, consequently, 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 firming masks, algae masks with their subsequent "warming" - any preparation from the arsenal of each cosmetologist will suit the neckline zone. There are masks that the manufacturers recommend heating slightly before applying them, to improve their effect. It is very convenient to do this in a cup of hot water - an impromptu water bath, putting a container with the required amount. While the make-up removal and cleansing stage is taking place, the contents of the container will have time to heat 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, helps a lot to relax.
Similarly, you can work with your hands, another weak part of the body in women. Since the skin on the hands is much harder and rougher, it is worth connecting scrubs and special creams for hands from the arsenal of paraffin therapy. Cold paraffin is an excellent choice for an esthetician's office. Scrub, nourishing mass, cold paraffin, gloves and subsequent heating - such a procedure will have a very noticeable effect on the condition of the hands.
While the beautician works with the wrinkles on the face, during all this time the mask will strengthen and smooth the skin of the décolletage area. Well, when the final post-procedure mask is on the face, 10-15-20 minutes of its work is a sufficient period of time for the beautician to switch to the upper part of the chest and significantly improve the procedure with hardware methods.
Cleavage: hardware capabilities
Hardware methods significantly expand the possibilities of a beauty salon for the care and rejuvenation of the neckline area. When it comes to physiological and safe methods, the following procedures firmly hold the palm of the hand:
- vacuum massage
- microcurrent therapy
- radio frequency lifting
The most convenient option for a specialist is vacuum massage. For the reason that it can be done on the same nourishing or lifting mask -since they usually include a variety of oils-.
Therefore, after applying the final mask on the face, it is easy to switch to the décolletage 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 recommend that you take vacuum ball nozzles. Their action is softer than that of glass, they need very little oil or cream - given the nutritional base of the applied products, they are sufficient for the job. 10-15 minutes of such active exposure with each procedure, and the improvement of turgor, tone and smoothing of wrinkles will be too troublesome not to notice.
A significant additional advantage for the client is the study of the anterior part of the entire waist of the upper limbs and the trapezius muscles with nozzles during this procedure. In fact, it is a massage of the anterior part of the stress area. In addition to strengthening and rejuvenating the cleavage area, the person receives a wonderful relaxing and regenerating massage.
From a practical point of view, it is very convenient to carry out 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 for the passage of electric current. 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 enhance procedures with diamond microdermabrasion, ultrasonic peeling, electroporation, which allows a specific device. Even 7-10 of these procedures can significantly strengthen, improve, smooth and rejuvenate the skin of the décolleté area.
With the arrival of spring, when warm sweaters are replaced by more open blouses, and then blouses, T-shirts, sundresses and dresses with bare shoulders, restoration procedures carried out in winter to rejuvenate the skin of the neckline will be very useful. And the woman will meet the spring and enter the summer with her shoulders squared and her head held high with pride.
