Because your face doesn’t stop at your jawline — and neither should your glow.
When it comes to skincare, we all obsess over serums, moisturizers, and the perfect multi-step ritual. But there’s one spot that often gets totally ghosted — your décolletage.
That delicate area from your neck down to your chest? Yeah. That’s basically your face’s glamorous cousin, and she deserves just as much love.
Why is this area so important? The skin on your neck and chest is thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it prone to dryness, fine lines, and sun damage. And if you're spending your summer in strappy dresses or plunging swimsuits, your décolletage is on display as much as (if not more than!) your face.
Let’s break down how to pamper it properly and highlight a few Wicked Good favorites that will make you want to flaunt every inch.
Step 1: Cleanse Beyond the Chin
When you wash your face, don’t stop at your jawline. Work that cleanser all the way down to your chest to sweep away sunscreen, sweat, and city grime.
Pro tip: Use gentle, circular motions. The skin on your décolletage is delicate — no need to attack it like you’re scrubbing a frying pan.
Best pick: Try our Coconut Melt. While designed as a serum, its hybrid texture makes it a gentle cleanser when massaged onto dry skin before a shower. It melts away impurities while hydrating deeply.
Step 2: Exfoliate, But Keep It Classy
Dead skin cells don’t just hang out on your face. Your décolletage needs exfoliation to stay smooth, glowy, and ready for that summer shimmer.
How often? Once or twice a week is plenty. Overdoing it can lead to irritation (and nobody wants a red, blotchy chest on beach day).
Best pick: Try our Dry Oil Spray post-exfoliation. While technically an oil, it’s lightweight and can help soothe and hydrate after exfoliating, prepping your skin for deeper treatments.
Step 3: Moisturize Like You Mean It
If you’re slathering all that luxurious serum and moisturizer on your face and ignoring your chest, you’re missing out. Your décolletage is practically begging for that TLC.
Best pick: Our Glaze Body Oil is a showstopper. It’s rich, hydrating, and gives your skin that glassy, "I just spent a week at a luxury spa" glow. Smooth it over your chest after the shower while your skin is still damp to lock in maximum moisture.
Step 4: Treat Yourself (and Your Décolletage) to Extra Love
Summer sun is not your skin’s bestie. Your chest is especially prone to sunspots and fine lines. Consider a weekly intensive treatment, like a mask or overnight oil, to help repair and protect.
Best pick: Our Coconut Melt. Slather it on as an overnight mask on your chest and wake up to baby-soft, restored skin. Bonus points if you pop on a soft robe and pretend you’re at an ultra-exclusive resort.
Finish with a Signature Summer Scent
Now that your skin is prepped and pampered, it’s time for the finishing touch — scent. Spritzing perfume on your décolletage is a classic move, and it’s a sensory delight for everyone who comes in for that summer hug.
Luxury summer scent picks from Wicked Good:
Coconut Lemongrass
Transport yourself to a private island with creamy coconut and zesty lemongrass. Bright, breezy, and a total mood lifter. Perfect for beach days and poolside happy hours.
Sea Island Grapefruit
This one’s crisp, juicy, and impossibly fresh — like a citrus spritz on a hot day. The ultimate choice for brunches, city strolls, and flirty summer nights.
Beach
Salty, sun-kissed, and nostalgic. It’s that "just left the ocean" scent that turns heads and gets all the compliments. A must-have for every summer scent wardrobe.
Quick Summer Décolletage Tips
-
SPF, always: Your chest is super vulnerable to sun damage. If you take nothing else away from this post, let it be this: protect it like you protect your face.
-
Apply upward: When moisturizing or applying treatments, use upward motions to fight gravity and keep skin firm.
-
Don’t skip at night: Your décolletage deserves an overnight hydration boost just as much as your face.
Your New Summer Ritual
Your face doesn’t stop at your chin, and neither does your self-care. This summer, let your décolletage shine as bright as your personality (and your highlighter).
With a little extra attention — and the right products — you’ll be turning heads in every off-shoulder dress, swimsuit, and spaghetti strap top in your closet.
