Best Ways of Preventing and Smoothing Chest Wrinkles

Main Causes of Chest Wrinkles

Rhytides, known as wrinkles, are those annoying folds that appear on the parts of your skin that have lost their structure. Like those on your face, the chest and cleavage wrinkles are connected to collagen and elastin breaking down or slowing down production. So, as we age, a natural thinning and loss of collagen may occur, forming these wrinkles. 

There are, of course, some women who have less wrinkled chests, even if they have the same routines. And that is because of genetics. Yes, if your grandma and mom had them, there is a strong possibility you might, as well. 

But there are other causes we should all consider, and the most important are those we can avoid, like the consistent folding of the skin is another cause. Think about the position you sleep in at night, how you cross your arms or the type of bra you wear. Not to mention UV exposure! Remember we talked about how the sun can damage your beautiful skin? Well, your face is not the only part affected. 

Your diet and water intake also matter! In addition, significant weight gain and loss can result in stretching and drooping your skin, having an awful effect on every part. And your chest is one of the affected areas! However, no matter why you got them, we have great news. You can prevent and treat your chest and cleavage wrinkles if you have the right information. And that’s why we’re here!

Ways to Prevent Chest Wrinkles

There is no better way to start talking about preventing chest wrinkles than with a chat about your skin’s worst enemy: the sun. Without any doubt, it is healthy to expose yourself to the caressing sun rays to get your necessary Vitamin D intake. However, to avoid damaged, wrinkly skin, SPF cream is your best friend. 

According to Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, a leading board-certified dermatologist, wearing sunscreen on your chest not only prevents your skin from rhytides, but this is the best way you can avoid brown spots, as well as skin cancer. For best results, wear sunscreen whenever you go outside, reapplying it every two hours. 

Also, don’t underestimate the power of a healthy diet and good hydration. The drier your skin is, the more wrinkled you will have. And a diet rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants helps keep your skin protected and slows down the process of skin aging.

Another must is forming good sleep habits. Plenty of sleep is, of course, mandatory for your skin and overall health. But, to make sure your chest looks healthy and young, make sure you sleep on your back. If you haven’t done this before, it might not seem easy, but once you get used to the position, it will do wonders for preventing your chest wrinkles. 

And, though it might not seem important, wearing a bra that fits is also crucial. Just like the way you sleep, according to skin experts, such as Rachel Nazarian, MD, FAAD, anything that pushes the skin of your chest centrally can cause wrinkles. And crossing your arm tightly or wearing unfit or tight push-up bras can damage your skin. So, to make sure you wear something that treats your skin right, spend more time choosing your bra!

Ways to Get Rid of Your Chest Wrinkles

Some of you might already have chest wrinkles, but, as we mentioned in the beginning, there’s good news for you, as well. While no method can suit all of you, we have a few great treatments to share today. 

Besides talking to your dermatologist about your personalized options, we recommend using wrinkle cream. You are probably already moisturizing your face daily, and we suggest doing the same for your chest and cleavage.

 The best news is that you can use a cream with similar ingredients for both your face and décolletage. It should have active ingredients such as antioxidants and retinoids. Natural ingredients like shea butter and aloe and products containing hyaluronic acid are also strongly recommended. Just make sure you not only apply your hydrating cream but also massage it into the skin. Yes, ladies, take your time with that massaging. It’s not only a way to treat your wrinkles but also to relax after a long, stressful day!

Last but definitely not least, never underestimate the power of chest wrinkle pads. And this is where we can help with more than advice. Our Blumbody Chest Pads help you have a young-looking décolleté by smoothing and eliminating tough-to-treat chest wrinkles no matter their cause. 

Wear them overnight to repair the thin, delicate skin of your chest while sleeping, and we promise you will see an improvement to your skin's elasticity and tone after just a few applications!
