How to care for breast skin?

Regular home care

It is known that the skin of the neck and décolleté ages faster than other areas of the body.
“Therefore, you need to take care of her regularly and carefully,” says Rano Azimova. “In addition, it is not so easy to combat the signs of wilting in this area with the help of cosmetic procedures. It is better to delay the appearance of age-related changes by keeping the skin of the chest and neck in good condition for as long as possible. To cleanse twice a day, use not a body product (soap or gel) but what you wash with - gel, foam or face cream. Then apply cream to the skin of your chest and neck to deeply moisturize and nourish. Use light textures in the morning, thicker and oilier ones in the evening. Choose care products depending on the time of year: lighter ones for spring and summer, rich and dense ones for autumn and winter. Apply the cream to the skin from bottom to top.” It is advisable to include procedures such as peeling and masks into a regular neck and décolleté area care program. They are easy to make yourself.

Delicate peeling for neck and décolleté

Mix 1-2 tbsp. l. sour cream, 1 tsp. sugar, 2 tsp oil (olive, almond, sesame). Apply the resulting mixture to damp skin. Massage in circular motions, then rinse with cool water.

Lifting mask for the décolleté area

Mix 1-2 tbsp. bran, 2 tsp oil (olive, almond, sea buckthorn), 1/2 tsp. black pepper. Apply the resulting mixture to clean skin of the décolleté area. Leave for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse off first with warm and then cool water.

Warm nourishing mask for breasts

Boil 1 potato, mash. Mix with 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. cream, 1 tsp. liquid honey. Apply the resulting mass to clean breast skin. After 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Oil and contrast compresses also have excellent nourishing and rejuvenating effects .

The bust is a real female advantage, no matter whether you modestly hide it under a jacket or proudly demonstrate it with a provocative neckline. In any case, he remains your tool of seduction, attracting men's gaze. Size and shape don't matter. What really matters is your own attitude towards it. The more you take care of your breasts and highlight their beauty, the more attention they attract.

BUST CARE PROGRAM

The breast consists of the mammary gland and the surrounding fatty tissue, which gives the bust volume. The only muscle that supports the breasts is the subcutaneous muscle of the neck.

2:315

Therefore, the beauty of the bust depends on the condition of the triangular area of ​​skin from the base of the breast to the chin, which holds the breast in a certain place and determines its shape and elasticity. Under the influence of gravity, as well as hormonal factors (puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, breastfeeding) and weight fluctuations, the skin of the breast stretches and eventually loses its firmness and elasticity. This leads to its omission. Therefore, this part of the body needs special care: pay no less attention to the bust than to the face!

2:1273

With regular care, the elasticity and tone of the skin of the bust and décolleté will become higher, and it will perform its function as a protective and supportive shell for the mammary gland even more effectively.

The right bra should fit you like a second skin. It should not cause discomfort, press the breast too tightly against the chest or cut into the skin, leaving marks on it. Plus, make sure that your upper chest is not restricted in its movements.

3:1912 3:2

And:

3:23

• change your bras every day. The choice of model is at your discretion. But the “balconette” is best left for special occasions.
• As soon as the bra stretches and does not hold your breasts well, or if the underwires begin to cause discomfort, throw it away.
• Do not overuse models with a push-up effect: they compress the upper part of the chest, which leads to thinning of the skin.

When playing sports (intense or moderate), your breasts stretch, so you need to protect them with a special bra. It will support the breasts and reduce the load on them.

3:1057 3:1062

• Choose the same size as your regular bra, but without wires.
• The best option is a bra with a Y or X shaped cutout on the back. It better holds the straps during exercise, preventing them from slipping.
• the fabric should stretch well (one option is an elastane bra).

...are there folds on your neckline?

With age, the skin on the décolleté becomes thinner, wrinkles appear on it, and folds remain after sleep. In addition, unprotected décolleté skin is often exposed to sunlight, as a result of which it loses its firmness and elasticity. To avoid this:

4:1067

• From the age of 25, apply a moisturizer to the skin of your neck and décolleté every day to maintain its elasticity. And after 40 years, use a special firming and tightening preparation for this area, which reduces wrinkles and has a smoothing and tightening effect.
• Make it a rule to protect this delicate area from the sun's rays. Carry a sunscreen with a high SPF factor and apply it to exposed areas of the body in the summer.
• Exfoliate your décolleté skin regularly, at least once a week, to strengthen it and stimulate cellular renewal.
• lean on Omega 3 fatty acids (flaxseed oil, fatty fish and walnut oil). They are good for the skin, blood circulation and cardiovascular system.

Age and pregnancy change the shape of the breasts. But it can be restored to its previous shape if you apply a special bust product every day to improve the quality of the skin, making it softer and smoother. Also watch your posture: straighten your back, lower your shoulders and your chest will instantly rise. Plus, don't forget to strengthen your skin through exercise.

4:699 4:704

...breasts too big?

4:756

If this is a consequence of being overweight, the problem can be solved with a balanced diet and exercise. If you have a normal weight, but large breasts, the only thing that can be advised is to carefully select a bra that will support your bust without causing discomfort.

4:1300 4:1305

... breasts are too small?

Massage it every day, both with your hands when applying care products and with a stream of cool water in the shower. The breasts will become more rounded, firmer and visually voluminous. And if you gain a few pounds, you might even be able to change your bra size.

USEFUL FOR THE BUST

To preserve the beauty of your bust, it is recommended:

6:92

• Apply care products in accordance with the natural location of the tissues of the décolleté area. For example, as you exfoliate your skin, circle your right breast with the palm of your left hand, moving from the outside in.
• wear a bra that fits. It should support the breasts well, but in no case compress them or leave marks on the skin at the straps or on the back.
• Exfoliate your breast skin regularly to maintain its tone. However, simply applying an exfoliator and rinsing it off is not enough. It is necessary to massage the skin with light smoothing movements to saturate it with oxygen, remove toxins and stimulate cellular renewal.
• Choose a care product according to the needs of the skin: firming or toning, providing lifting at the first signs of loss of skin elasticity, etc.
• practice swimming (breaststroke, backstroke), yoga, Pilates, dancing.

• Take a long hot bath, and also abuse hot showers. This leads to loss of skin elasticity.
• go on diets. Eat regularly but in a balanced manner and lead a healthy lifestyle.
• sunbathing topless: the sun's rays have a detrimental effect on the condition of the delicate skin of the bust and lead to loss of elasticity. Apply sunscreen to your entire décolleté and chest area.
• engage in sports that require frequent and sharp jumps (aerobics, non-aerobics, horse riding, etc.).

Professional treatments

It is advisable to supplement home care with professional care. “I recommend alternating procedures such as mesotherapy and biorevitalization , which saturate the skin with hyaluronic acid,” says our expert. “They are aimed at stimulating metabolism, accelerating regeneration and normalizing blood flow. Massage will help maintain muscle tone in this area.”

Sun protection

We have already told you more than once about the harmful effects the sun has on the skin. “Women often apply creams with high SPF only to the face, while the neck and chest area in spring and summer needs protection no less,” says Rano Azimova. “Don’t forget that if you neglect sunscreen, you risk getting skin cancer.” Learn how to choose and use such cosmetics correctly.

Choose the right bra

The beauty and health of the breast largely depend on a competent approach to choosing a bra. “According to statistics, 90% of women do it wrong,” says our expert. — Even if you are confident that you know your body better than others, consult a professional consultant. Give preference to underwear made from natural and soft fabrics. The bra should not rub the skin and cause discomfort.” about the basic rules for choosing bras .

Salon treatments for breasts

You can act on the breasts locally: make moisturizing masks based on algae or plasticizing ones, which contain the most valuable components for elasticity and oxygenation (oxygen saturation). To do this, you will have to undergo a course of more than ten procedures in the salon, and the effect will be delayed. If you have gone through pregnancy and breastfeeding, your widow may need more sessions. Due to the long-term lack of effect, it may seem that cosmetology is powerless. The quality of the effect and its noticeability will depend on the initial condition of the breast and previous factors. It is clear that a nulliparous girl will be able to boast of better bust condition than a mother of two breastfed children.

At home, serums will work well (but you will see the effect no earlier than in a month), a contrast shower, gentle self-massage, and physical exercise for the muscles of the chest, back and core. If you set a goal and take care of yourself in a comprehensive manner, your breasts will regain their roundness or at least become much better than before the start of all activities.

Do fitness

There are a large number of exercises for the chest. Unfortunately, they cannot significantly influence the size and shape of the bust: these factors largely depend on the glandular tissue and ligamentous apparatus. But it is possible to strengthen and tighten the pectoral muscles with the help of fitness. “Do pressure-resistance exercises, push-ups,” says Rano Azimova. — Don’t forget also about stretching , exercises for correct posture and strengthening your back muscles . They are good for the breasts too, as they keep them beautiful and high.” Here is a simple and effective set of exercises for the pectoral muscles.

“When caring for the skin of the décolleté, do not forget about cancer prevention - a routine examination, including ultrasound of the mammary glands,” says Rano Azimova. “This procedure should be performed every six months, and after 40 years, move on to mammography, which will show changes in the structure of the mammary gland.”

Stages of care

You can keep the skin of the décolleté area soft and elastic only if you take care of it as thoroughly as you do for your face. It consists of several stages:

1. Cleansing. There are no difficulties at the first stage. To do this you will need to take a shower. The breast skin care gel in this case should not be too aggressive. If foam is used, it should not dry out the skin.
2. Exfoliation. It is necessary to exfoliate periodically. It consists of eliminating dead skin particles. This is required to keep the breasts fresh and smooth. An oil-based scrub is suitable for the procedure, which is recommended to be applied only a couple of times a week, rubbing in a circular motion.
3. Toning. At this stage, you can use a facial tonic. It will help complete the cleansing. This product has a refreshing effect, so after using it you will feel very pleasant. Moreover, the tonic significantly facilitates the penetration of the active elements of creams.
4. Hydration. Here the main product is a breast skin care cream. If it is not possible to purchase exactly this composition, you can replace it with face cream. The main thing is that it is quickly absorbed and does not leave stains on clothes.
