How to Prevent and Minimize PESKY CHEST WRINKLES

For those of us who are sun worshippers and side sleepers—or worse, both—cleavage creases are a genuine concern. More often than not, we wake up from a deep slumber with deep vertical lines starting at our upper-middle chest and going down between our breasts. They can last most of the day, begging the question, Are these permanent? Have they always been there?

If you’re someone in their mid-30s or younger, those creases likely aren’t permanent … yet. Side sleeping curves our back and shoulders so that we are concave inward, forcing our delicate decollete skin to bunch up. If we lay like that for four to eight hours each night, it’s no wonder it takes hours and a lot of hydration to iron the creases out. After enough years of conditioning like this, they might not budge. Here are some ways to prevent and soothe those chest lines.

Hydrate

Of course, adequate hydration is the baseline to all things wellness and beauty. But you’ll notice these creases are much deeper and more noticeable after a hot day in the sun drinking spritzers and spiked lemonade. Stay hydrated with electrolytes to plump up the skin and help them dissipate faster.

Sleep on your back

While this is easier said than done for those avid side sleepers, try falling asleep on your back. You may (OK, you will) move throughout the night, but back sleeping takes training, so do your best to build the habit each time you drift off. Or, anytime you wake up, just move back to a face-up position.

Sunscreen

Sun damage is a major culprit for baking in those lines, so be sure to apply sunscreen from the chest up with an SPF of at least 35, and don’t forget to reapply!

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a building block of collagen, which helps skin to keep its structure and stay looking supple. Making sure to get a rich source of vitamin C each day can help ensure your body has the tools it needs to build restorative collagen where you need it— like the delicate, thin skin of your decollete.

Silicone patches

If sleeping on your back is completely out of the question for any period of time, silicone patches worn overnight can smooth the skin, ironing out any current lines and preventing new ones from forming. They are comfortable, easy to wear, and reusable for a few wears. Just make sure to cleanse, hydrate, and treat first, so these patches can work double-duty by sealing in all that goodness.
