Downshift to the next lower gear. If it is very steep, go down another gear. Make sure you don't over-rev the engine though.
NO... you should use a lower gear if you want to slow down not higher.

You should brake at the top of the hill and slow down to a speed where you can change down to the next lowest gear. Anticipation is most important, as you may need to change down again to the next lowest gear. Engine braking helps to prevent overheating the brakes, and also assists vehicle stability on steep hills.
