Moisturize Your Décolleté – Because It’s Not All About Your Face
I have no idea how it happened. But it seems like one day i just woke up and the wrinkles just appeared on my neck and are creeping into my décolleté.
In my 20s, the idea of wrinkles did linger around in my head but because I never saw them, I didn’t give them a serious thought. Now that I’m 31 and they are blatantly appearing, I can’t ignore them any more.
For the past week, I’ve been diligently moisturizing my neck and decolletage area in hopes that I can at least slow down the wrinkles that are now visible. You can find lotions and creams that are geared specifically for these areas but for me, I’ve been using…
StriVectin® Instant Moisture Repair ($59 US) is light-weight and unscented, and perfectly formulated for everyday use. This new moisturizer works to re-build aging skin, layer by layer, and even touts increasing skin’s hydration levels by 30% within the first hour.
Instant Moisture Repair comes in a tube shape but actually has a pump on the end, which I thought would make it easier to dispense. It’s hit or miss at times and makes me long for the simplicity of just being able to squeeze the lotion out.
The more I use Aveeno products, the more I love the brand. Aveeno Positively Smooth Facial Moisturizer is a great recessionista option for everyday use that works to improve skin tone and texture. I feel no guilt slathering on the peach-scented formula on my face and neck every night.
Those with sensitive skin will also love Aveeno’s hypoallergenic and oil-free (double-yay!) moisturizer that won’t break the bank.
And for those who want to splurge, I really want to try La Prairie Cellular Night Repair Cream ($220 US). This restorative nighttime facial treatment that works while you sleep promoting natural skin repair and recovery. It works to reduce inflammation while hydrating, smoothing and firming – just what I need to avoid getting a turkey neck!
What are you using to moisturizer your face and neck? Have you noticed if you’ve been able to reduce or prevent the lines around your neck?

I’ll have to try that Aveeno facial moisturizer. It’s rather hard to find at most drugstores, but it’s good to hear that it actually exists and works well.

Hi Laura,
I was a little hard for me to find retailers online that sold this Aveeno moisturizer. But I have seen it in stores and I really do love it!
