Do you sleep on your side? If you do, then the wrinkles may be the result of the skin being pushed together while you sleep. If that's how you sleep, then there's not much that can be done.

You may be doing this already, but I will mention using the same skin care products you use on your face for your chest. For instance, I use Clinique wash, tone and moisturize on my face, chest, and hands.

Have gotten very good results on chest wrinkles with the original Isomers Neck and Chin firming lotion. Not so much with their newer neck and chin/chest products. Recommend the original product if you can get it. Now using Perricone Sub-D which also seems to be helping.

Treat your chest as you would your face. SPF is absolutely THE most important anti aging product there is. If you don't use SPF then don't bother to use retinols or other chemical exfoliants or anti aging to correct it because you are literally defeating the whole purpose.

I would suggest starting off with Alpha Hydrox Retinol ResQ. It is a good product that will help your skin to start producing collagen which will help keep the skin firm. it is a good exfoliant that will help with wrinkles. When you are outside or in the car or near a window the suns UVA (the A stands for aging) rays are hitting your skin. Even if it is cloudy this is happening. While you may not get any color (tan or burn) the UVA rays are aging your skin. SPF is a must in protecting it. I would get a good moisturizer with a SPF and wear it everyday. One that contains cell communicating ingredients and antioxidants. Paula's Choice makes great ones. They are priced reasonably and don't contain irritating fragrances. She also has other chemical exfoliants that will help to give your skin a jump start and slough off some of the dead skin which could be making your skin look a little more crepey than it really is.

Creams and lotions just make me break out.

Like FinnyMinny said, learn to sleep on your back.

I recently read that sleeping in a 'snug' tee shirt, or knit camisole help. Also try to teach yourself to sleep on your back if you don't already.

I use Silcskin Decollette pads and order on Amazon. It is a patch developed for burn patients and very effective but temporary results that last about 24 hours.

I am a side sleeper with three deep vertical chest lines and these are silicone pads you apply for an hour (when getting ready in the a.m. and don't use lotions or creams) and you will be amazed the lines are practically gone when you lift off the patch! It is a large triangular silicone patch that sticks and covers most of the upper chest area.

They are expensive and I apply when wearing a lower neckline or for special events when self conscious of the wrinkles.

I am loving BE Neck and Decollette cream but softens neck a lot but not so much for chest. I need to order more SKINN Collagenous cream as did see some results with using.

Plug in an iron and iron away! Just could not resist. Just use a moisturizer or oil daily especially at bedtime. Marula oil is excellent for very dry skin and redness. I recently purchased Acure Organics Marula oil which absorbs quickly and is not as heavy as another Marula oil I had at home. I like Maracuja oil for my scalp, argan oil for my eye lashes and sometimes my face but Marula oil is now my no. 1.
