PROUD BOSOMS
We are all now very much at home with our creaming routines. Especially since following Joss’s daily moisturizing ritual. Yet many women seem to skip skin care when it comes to the bosoms. But be warned! This is an area of skin that ages fastest for women. And we all want those firm breasts just like Christina, Scarlett and Kate?
In addition to the natural process of aging, there are a few cheeky culprits that you may not be aware of that contribute to chest wrinkles.
Sunlight
Want to be nice and tanned this summer? Think twice, because UV radiation accelerates the wrinkling process enormously. Your girls can enjoy fifteen minutes a day of sun with a high factor (at least spf 30), but then it’s time to hop back into the shadows. Just as the rest of your body should be doing by the way.
Wrong bra…
An ill fitting bra is obviously never good. But did you know that this can affect the aging of the breasts? A bra that is too small will cause pinching and bra that is too large does not give enough support. Neither of these are doing you boobies any good. I know that many women are not really a fan of this (I personally have no problem whatsoever), but do get yourself regularly sized up in a lingerie shop. Your breast size can fluctuate quite dramatically. It is not always the case that you will will have the same bra size for more than 10 years, hhmmmmm …
Non smoking area
Yeah yeah, here I come again with my anti-smoking tirade. But those stupid things also have a huge impact on the condition of your chest. So everyone is going to stop. Today. Now.
Side sleeping
You would think that skin is safe when tucked neatly away in bed, but no. Because continuously sleeping on your side can also affect the aging process of your bust. The vertical chest wrinkles are caused because of the weight pressing down from the upper part of your chest. That ‘fold’ usually disappears in the morning, but as you get older the skin is less likely to unfold. Sleeping on your back is the best thing you can do.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
So as of now, you’ll be less in the sun, buy a good bra, quit smoking, change your sleeping position and smear on enormous amounts of cream. Yes, in the morning and evening.
My top three bosom creams:
This really is the best of the best among bust creams. For example if you have breastfed or have lost a lot of weight, this is the cream to use to cure the sag. After a few weeks of routinely using this cream mornings and evenings, you notice that the skin is significantly firmer.
Yves Rocher Lifting care for the breast, € 12,45
This is also a very nice (and affordable) product. I would recommend this cream for younger skin. It leaves the skin wonderfully soft and smells divine.
Lierac Bust Lift Creme Modelage, € 36,10
A lovely thick cream that not only leaves the cleavage feeling soft, but also helps tackle brown spots that come with aging.
