If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about skincare, it’s that we’re incredibly good at looking after the areas we see every day—and surprisingly good at forgetting the ones we don’t.
We diligently layer serums onto our faces, massage in moisturisers and never skip SPF, yet somewhere around the jawline, our routines tend to come to an abrupt halt.
The irony? Our neck and décolletage are often among the first places to show the effects of time, sun exposure and everyday life.
Well, it’s not exactly all that surprising. The skin here is thinner, naturally produces less oil and spends years exposed to UV damage, tech neck, changing hormones and gravity. Add winter into the mix—with its dry air, heaters and skin-stripping temperatures—and it’s little wonder the area below the chin can suddenly look crepey, dehydrated or less firm than we’d like.
While we can’t stop ageing (nor should we want to), we can be a little more intentional about how we care for our skin as it changes. And increasingly, that means giving the neck the same attention we’ve always reserved for our face.
That’s exactly where Trinny London The Elevator comes in.
Designed specifically for the neck and décolletage, The Elevator from Trinny London takes a more targeted approach than simply extending your face cream downwards.
The formula combines peptides to support firmer-looking skin with encapsulated alpha arbutin to help visibly reduce the appearance of pigmentation and sun damage, while proprietary cohesion technology works to improve the appearance of skin that’s beginning to lose definition.
The clinical results are impressive, too. In clinical testing, The Elevator was shown to visibly smooth neck lines, improve the appearance of sagging skin, help redefine the jawline and visibly fade dark spots after consistent use. Consumer trials also found that 96 per cent of users agreed their neck and décolletage looked smoother after eight weeks.
Of course, no skincare product can turn back the clock overnight, but that’s not really the point. The best routines are the ones that evolve alongside us, addressing the concerns that naturally become more noticeable over time.
If your skincare routine currently ends at your chin, consider this your reminder to keep going. It only takes an extra few seconds, but your future self—and your neck—may well thank you for it.
