The Best Anti-Aging Skincare Hack You’ll Ever Learn
One of the greatest peices of skincare advice I ever got was “take it to the tits”. This means that whatever you put on your face, should also put on your neck and chest, you should take it to the tits…singing to the tune of “Taking It to the Streets” by The Doobie Brothers is optional but I think it helps. We all know that neck and chest skin can start to look like tissue paper you’re been reusing for seven Christmases, and applying your face regiment a little south will do a world of good.
The rub of this advice is that skincare is pretty expensive, and by taking it to the tits you’re going to use product twice as fast. Here’s where the hack comes in, find The Ordinary dupe for your face products! Use the expensive stuff on your face, the cheaper stuff on your neck and chest.
You don’t need to spend crazy money on specialty products for your neck and decollage, you just need to check out the dupes for commonly used (and loved) products!
Vitamin C Serum
The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone. If you’re not using a Vitamin C serum in your morning routine, consider this your sign to start.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum
The Ordinary HA + B5. We all know how great Hylauronic Acid is for our face, now share the love with your décolletage.
Niacinamide Serum:
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% Niacinamide had quite a 2020 thanks to the maskne of it all, let it’s glow up help your glow up.
Lactic Acid Treatments
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA. You know I LOVE me some Sunday Riley Good Genes, but until I find a rich old man to bankroll my lifestyle I can’t afford to extend it’s use, The Ordinary to the rescue.
Retinol Treatment
The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane. The Ordinary has multiple retinol products, but this one’s combination of high strength and zero to low irritation makes it my pick.
The Ordinary is a super affordable, and accessible skincare line. Please don’t think I’m throwing shade by pitching it as a lower cost alternative for your neck and chest. I’ve used a lot of their products on my face, and they work very well. Heck their AHA BHA Peeling Solution is one of my holy grail products! If you’re looking to start your skincare journey, or want to switch up your routine they are a great place to start. Ok, that being said, what’s your favorite skincare hack? And I’d love to know your best dupes!
