Well, as a preventive measure, I would recommend that from the age of 25-30, since our collagen starts to decline from the age of 25. Each individual’s genetic and environmental factors must be taken into account, but generally the conditions will be appropriate
Does the skin of the neckline need different care than the rest of the body?
Yes, because it has different features than the face. It is a very thin skin in all its layers, it does not have much bone, fat or muscular support. In addition, it puts pressure on our head and requires extra effort for the whole area and in many cases the skin on the neck can be more sensitive and easily irritated due to how delicate and thin it is. Using perfumes or fragrances that contain alcohol also does not help and may cause future scarring.
Is it possible to delay aging?
The sooner we can take care of ourselves, the better, as long as it doesn’t involve overspending or using resources inappropriate for our age. Otherwise, we can over-treat the skin, causing sensitivity and possible reactions. Young skin doesn’t need the same active ingredients as we age. Therefore, it is ideal to take proper care of ourselves according to our purpose, be it prevention, protection or repair. To prevent, for example, we can start with good hydration from a young age and protect the neck and décolleté area from the sun, because this skin is much thinner and more delicate than the rest of the body. Many women have a tendency to develop vertical wrinkles on the neckline due to chest volume and sleeping on their side. To prevent them, it is useful to hydrate and nourish the area well before going to bed.

For me, when it comes to scars, I prefer to treat them instead of hiding them. It is true that this is a long-term process if we want to avoid resorting to invasive treatment. With the ‘Bright’ line from IS Clinical, we have a great option, since it can be used all year round, treats all types of blemishes, is suitable for sensitive skin and, in addition, has anti-aging properties. As a first step, we must apply sun protection every day. These days there are tinted protectors that not only make it easier to use, but also help hide blemishes while protecting the skin.
As for cosmetics, should they contain any active ingredients?
If we want to prevent from a young age, it’s essential to apply the same habits of our face routine to the neckline or, at the very least, to wear sun protection on the chest. Now, when we try to repair or reverse the signs of aging, the situation changes. It is important to use cosmetics for the thin and delicate skin of this area, which at the same time gives real results. The most suitable active ingredients are those that can give us results in hydration, firmness, skin elasticity, texture and softness, which are the main concerns of most people.
