How is your decolletage? And what do you do if it's less than lovely especially if you're over 40?

When I was 30 I worked with a woman (who I thought at the time was ancient, she was 42!) with a wrinkly decolletage and remember thinking at the time 'my word, I won't be showing my chest area off like that when I'm her age if it looks like that' . Sadly that day is here and my cleavage has downward wrinkles due to old age, fat, sun damage and gravity. And I am NOT talking wearing low necklines here at all, I wear just normal v neck type necklines, but it looks awful.

Is there anything I can do about it? Can one have Botox on one's cleavage? Should I? Has anyone? Or shall I just keep hunting for tops with the highest possible necks? I don't feel the sight of my chest should be inflicted on anyone tbh and I am growing increasingly anxious about it.

Thanks for any advice.

They are v smooth but that pic looks like her head's been stuck on the wrong body

what on earth would lead you to do that?

we are not meant to be viewed in that fashion unless it is sex.

OK - scarves are shite; really old. From now on treat your decolletage as if it were your neck as per moisturising.

Don't mosturise at night. It softens the skin and encourages wrinkles.

I never did my neck at all until in the late 40s and not much then, and saw women friends with the old crepe bandage much earlier which makes me think there's something hereditary going on.

Ange needs to put them away - smooth decolletage or not.

Sorry I confused Jacqui Smith with Angela M. So my advice should have been two words of warning: Angela Merkel.
