A WARDROBE hack has made all the difference for one skincare-savvy woman.
She said her anti-aging trick has helped reduce the wrinkles on her décolletage.
Redditor Jennifoto took to the social media platform to share a photo of her chest and ask for skincare advice.
“Suggestions needed for neck/chest wrinkles,” she said.
“[I’m] not using anything currently,” she added. “[I] need a routine or treatment recommendations.”
Wrinkles and crepey skin are common signs of aging on the décolletage, especially for side sleepers.
Another Redditor, Butterscotcheggs, chimed in with her top nighttime skincare tips, saying it was her “time to shine.”
“Not sure if you are a side sleeper like me,” she began.
She then listed off two bedtime techniques that have helped her see a “dramatic difference” in the appearance of her chest.
“[I] train myself to sleep on my back,” she explained.
“Eye masks and a little knee pillow when I sleep on my back, and a lower pillow — that’ll help.”
For her second anti-aging hack, she recommended wearing a specific bra for nighttime support and adding a pair of socks, especially if you’re a side sleeper.
“Get this super comfy cotton bralette if you have to sleep on the side, then you roll up a pair of cotton socks in between your boobs,” she advised.
She likes the Fruit of the Loom Women’s Spaghetti Strap Cotton Pull Over Three-Pack Sports Bras, which are available on Amazon and range from $6.50 to $32.20, depending on the style.
“I found that [it] stopped my boobs [from squashing] together and forming those lines,” she explained.
“I am 41 and the lines are disappearing after trying this for about a month.”
Several other Redditors shared their thoughts about the hack in the comments section.
“The sports bra idea sounds great, would you still wear it if you were a back sleeper?” one asked.
“Funny enough you asked me that,” she replied.
“I wear them always in my pajamas because I like my boobs to be ‘loosely contained’ instead of flopping around.
“Mine are humble 34C. So yes, I wear them already before the wrinkle-gate.
“Stuffing a pair of socks in [my bra] that I keep by my bedside table [has become] a super convenient thing. Also, I relapse into a side sleeper often.”

She told The U.S. Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the fundamental basics of a beauty routine are the same for all ages — it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
“Moisturizers are my superstar, even over products containing active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right kind of hydration, replaces natural oils, and seals them in, literally stabilizes your skin.
“This in itself quickly can soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as often these are worsened by dehydration.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“It then can heal faster, which, among many things, can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, less flares of dermatitis and rosacea, and shorter-lived, milder breakouts.”
