Décol-what? It's hard to pronounce, I know. That area between your chin and your coconuts, otherwise known as your décolletage.
It's like a middle child: just as important as the ones on either side, but often overlooked and somewhat neglected. #letsbefrank. Not fun for you, or your low-cut tops.
That's the thing about your décolletage. One day it's as smooth as a baby's bottom, the next it's as dry as the desert. The skin in this area is rather thin, lacking the elasticity and resilience that the rest of the skin on your body and face has, so it needs some extra attention.
And that's where I come in, babe. I'm the nurturing type, but I also know a little tough love doesn't go astray.
So get naked, jump in the shower, and get a little wet. Scoop a handful of my Original Coffee Scrub out of the bag and rub it in small circular motions across your chest, moving in upward strokes as you approach the extra-delicate skin on your neck. The gritty texture of freshly ground coffee will buff away dry, flaky skin, leaving you soft and supple.
The décolletage also has fewer sebaceous glands, which means it's prone to dryness. My natural cold-pressed almond oil helps there, providing moisture that lasts throughout the day. If you prefer something tropical, my Coconut Coffee Scrub provides the same moisture hit with coconut and grapeseed oils.
Leave me to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so my natural ingredients can get to work, then rinse off with warm water.
Remember to apply a broad spectrum SPF during the day and drink plenty of water. Hydration is the key to youthful-looking skin. And if you're heading out at night, a dust of bronzer over the area makes your smooth décolletage look even better.
