When it comes to anti-aging products and routines, we focus on our face and tend to lose sight of the other parts of our skin that also need the same care we give our face. Maybe because the face is the first thing we notice when we look at ourselves in the mirror that our neck and chest are left forgotten.

Imagine your face looking more youthful and healthy from your facial care products and then when you gaze down your neck and chest… it just don’t look right because it looked more aged than your face. Aging signs from the neck down is also something that we should keep in mind not only because it can be seen by others but also simply because it just doesn’t look too attractive to have a glowing face and a dry, lifeless skin on the neck and chest where it is also exposed with most of women’s clothing.

Obagi skin care introduces us with another product that helps restore and protect these two overlooked part of the skin when it comes to anti-aging care with the Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage System.

The perfect neck and chest anti-aging

We might think that the facial moisturizer we use on our face can do just fine on our neck too, but what about our neck and chest? Just because our face looks healthy doesn’t mean we, and others, won’t be able to notice the other parts of our skin that we missed out on.

The neck and chest is often overlooked especially in the moisturizing and sun protection regimen, and because the skin on these parts are thinner, they are most vulnerable to the aging signs such as saggy, dry skin. That, and other visible aging signs are the target of the Obagi Decolletage System.

Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage System: Product Details

Based on Obagi’s website:

“Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage System consists of a patent-pending product using Penetrating Therapeutics™that is clinically proven to help restore healthy skin. Used together, this therapeutic system diminishes the signs of aging, helping revitalize vulnerable skin.”

And because the skin on our neck and chest is more prone to aging signs, the ingredients in the Decolletage System works amazingly on it.

The products

There are two products under the Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage System:

• Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage Wrinkle Reducing Lotion – formulated with ELASTIderm’s Restorative Elasticity Complex; contains unique bi-mineral complex to help replenish elasticity and build collagen for increased skin strength and resilience; also includes malonic acid to help stimulate production of healthy cells
• Obagi ELASTIderm Decolletage Skin Lightening Complex – formulated with 4% hydroquinone to reduce discoloration and age spots

Both these products are suitable for all skin types. It also feels light and is easily absorbed by the skin so there’s no need to worry about making your skin uncomfortable because it feels sticky or anything like that.

How to use

Before using consult your skin care physician. But whether he advises you to use one or both Obagi ELASTIderm products, it is best to use each twice a day for best results.

Do your regular facial routine in the morning and evening; cleanse, tone and moisturize/sunscreen but this time, apply the Decolletage Wrinkle Reducing Lotion and Decolletage Skin Lightening Complex before you apply your moisturizer and sunscreen.

The skin is the largest and probably most exposed organ in our body hence it is more prone to pollution and damage, and this is why we also do our best to properly take care of it by using beauty products that cleanses our skin off of dirt, grease, and applying facial toners, moisturizers and lotions to make sure our skin won’t flake and dry and it would remain soft, moisturized, and even sun protected with SPF.

But one thing we also have to keep in mind, the thinnest and most prone to premature aging signs is the skin around our eyes. Those harsh motions we do when applying and removing eye makeup, lack of a healthy lifestyle all contributes to dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles that not even our daily moisturizers and concealers can make it (and us) look and feel better.

Thankfully, Obagi formulated a product specifically targeting the skin around the eye area and it is called the Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Treatment.

What you will get from ELASTIderm Eye Treatment

You should be aware that there are 2 types of ELASTIderm Eye Treatment and these are the:

• Gel – suitable for those with normal to oily skin and most ideal for those living in tropical or humid climate
• Cream – suitable for those with normal to dry skin and most ideal if you live in a cooler climate

If it would help you decide, the gel treatment provides a cooler, more fluid consistency whereas the cream, a smooth and rich consistency but not rich that it’s sticky or uncomfortable.

With religious use of ELASTIderm, you will notice the results in about 2 to 3 weeks and continuous improvements with continuous use.

Benefits

Obagi uses ingredients for the ELASTIderm Eye Treatment which are “powerful, yet gentle ingredients” that makes both the ELASTIderm Eye Cream and ELASTIderm Eye Gel the most effective eye treatment available.

• Helps restore the skin’s elasticity
• Builds collagen
• Stimulates the skin cells’ production
• The anti-oxidants contained help eliminate free radicals
• With Obagi technology, it penetrates deep into the skin for absorption

The ingredients on the ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream and Gel were thoroughly studied to make sure it does what it promises to do and what Obagi skin care products are know of; to take care of the skin, repair damage, and maintain the skin’s health.

Steps on how to use:

Using this eye treatment cream or gel is as easy as washing your face. All you have to do is:

1. Thoroughly wash your face (cleanse and rinse),
2. Apply your facial toner, and
3. Apply your ELASTIderm Eye Cream or Gel before you…
4. Apply your facial moisturizer and/or sunscreen

How hard can that be? Apply it on the entire periorbital area including the eyelids, inner, and outer corner, twice a day. Once in the morning and once during bedtime and let it work overnight.

What others have to say

I don’t think words are even enough for those who are using Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Treatment to express their amazement with this product. Everyone is loving it and giving it either 4 but mostly 5 stars in their personal reviews.

Though it may be too pricey at $99 for 0.5 oz, you will surely get your money’s worth! For some, results are noticeable in as early as a week, not too obvious but noticeable enough that you would see it working and you know you will not regret using it.

The results? Reduced fine lines and wrinkles and a more hydrated and moisturized skin and not just that, you will also feel your skin’s firmer.

What everyone is loving about ELASTIderm Eye Treatment is that it is not just any other eye cream that is either too thick or too liquid, Obagi’s is just the right feel of “creaminess” and it is lightweight on the skin and non-greasy.

Choosing Wisely When You Buy Obagi Online

There are many online shops that offer Obagi skin care products, but you must be cautious of the FAKE products that some of these online shops offer. Not only will you waste your money and time on these fake products but your skin might also be affected by them. Many fake vendors are found in eBay, which is why I suggest you avoid buying from this auction site. Instead of eBay, you can just go to Amazon, another popular online auction and shopping website. There are a lot of credible vendors from around the world in Amazon, and genuine Obagi skin care products are among the products sold here.

Selecting Only the Best Online Shops

Indeed, many online shops have emerged these past months due to the fact that more and more people have been browsing the internet each day. Many online shops offer various skin care products such as the Obagi skin care products. In selecting only the best online shop for your Obagi skin care products, you must first perform a research about each online shop you come across with. Make a list of the online shops that offer Obagi products. You can ask your friends if they have come across these online shops and how their experience has been with them. Get as much feedback as you can from these online shops to determine which online shop you are going to trust.
