Wearing a plunging neckline is terrifying for obvious reasons (please work, double-stick tape), but some less-obvious challenges also lie in wait: pasty skin and a dull décolleté. To make sure your most eye-catching area is on point, we’ve rounded up 5 body-prepping rituals to try before slipping into that little number. Now get out there you smokeshow, you.
Take The Plunge
Body Oil
Since dry, flaky skin doesn’t exactly complement a deep V neckline, moisturize with this cocktail of hazelnut oil, broom and sweet marjoram, which also helps firm the skin.
Self-Tanner
Pasty skin happens in the winter, but that’s what self-tanner is for. Give your skin the summertime glow in 30 minutes with this easy-to-apply foam.
Concealer
Let’s be honest, blemishes don’t only happen on your face. When you’re in a jam, don’t forget to break out the concealer.
Cream Luminizer
Use this golden, shimmery cream to make your skin appear dewy without any tell-tale glitter.
Highlighter
Still need a little more oomph? We got you. Make your décolleté look luminous with a few swipes of this highlighter across your collar bones and down the center of your chest.
