Breasts have always been one of the most attractive features of a woman’s body. These special assets are appreciated not just by the men but also by women. Beautiful breasts are something every woman would love to have. A top with a deep neck or a dress looks better when you have beautiful breasts. Your breasts undergo several changes from youth to adulthood that affects their appearance.
What causes breasts to sag?
Contrary to popular belief, your breasts won’t sag because of wearing a bad bra or choosing not to wear one at all.
The real cause of sagging breasts is gravity and aging. Ligaments in the breasts (called Cooper’s ligaments) stretch out over time. Without this support, the breast tissues sag and lose their shape.
Other factors can cause the ligaments to become weaker. This includes collagen or estrogen deficiency, multiple pregnancies, and rapid weight gain and weight loss. Smoking can also speed up sagging—yet another reason to quit!
Women with larger breasts will experience earlier and more visible sagging. And while sagging is gradual, it’s common to see a very noticeable change in breast shape or size during menopause.
Breastfeeding does not cause breasts to sag. However, your breasts will grow larger during pregnancy and then return to original size after you’ve stopped nursing. That may cause stretch marks and some loss of firmness.
It’s difficult to restore volume and shape to sagging breasts without actually getting a breast lift. However, you can prevent sagging or slow it down. With a little extra attention, you can keep your breast looking its best, and maintain its lift and strength as long as possible.
So, if you want to flaunt that perfect cleavage and keep your breasts looking, here are some of the tips and tricks.
Wear a bra that fits properly
Getting the size of your bra right is essential for the health of your breasts. Wearing a wrong one will make them look awkward. Your bra should support your breasts to avoid the staffing of breasts. It is recommended to take off your bra while sleeping as it will allow your breasts to breathe and stay healthy. If you are at home, wear a soft bra or sports bra to avoid droopy breasts.
Moisturize
Your breasts need attention too. Pamper it. After taking a shower, apply moisture on your breasts and massage it. This will keep them soft and glowing. You can use jojoba oil or avocado oil for the massage. These oils are rich in vitamins and it hydrates the skin deeply.
A splash of cold water
We normally take shower in lukewarm water but end your shower by splashing cold water on your breasts. This practice will tighten the tissues of your breasts. The cold water splash will stimulate the circulation of blood and enhance cellular exchange. Spray the water gently in a circular motion.
Sleep on your back
Avoid sleeping on your stomach as may lead to the development of wrinkles on them. Instead, sleep on your back as much as possible.
Watch your diet
Your diet is one of the most important factors in maintaining the health of your breasts. It will help you to maintain a healthy body weight. Frequent fluctuations in your body weight will leave your breasts looking saggy.
Apply sunscreen
You must apply sunscreen to all the exposed parts of your body and that includes your cleavage if you are wearing a low-cut dress or top. So, before getting out in the sun, apply a sunscreen over the cleavage portion to protect it from the harmful sun rays and from sun tan. Your cleavage skin will look healthier and fairer, once you start this practice.
