Wondering why our set isn’t quite as perky as it used to
be? It turns out that breast tissue ages faster than the rest of our body,
according to a new study published in the journal Genome Biology. We can all
agree that’s totally unfair, so here are a few ways to keep our girls happy
and healthy—longer!
No wonder the skin here tends to sag—we girls go through a
lot! “Breast tissue goes on a roller coaster every time we gain and lose
weight,” says Marisa Weiss, M.D., founder of Breast Cancer.org. Not to mention
how much they can fluctuate during pregnancy and before our period each month.
The only way to save the skin is by moisturizing, says Weiss. She suggests
sticking to a one-ingredient approach by rubbing something like organic coconut
oil over them.
we also need a good sports bra when we’re working out,
but our girls should be properly supported all day long. Ask for help at a
lingerie shop or department store to find a bra that fits. “Even running around
in your everyday life, have the support you need to avoid some of the
stretching out that happens with gravity,”
We really can keep our girls looking perky with the right workout. “we can exercise our upper
body, especially the pectoral muscles,” says Weiss. “The breasts sit on top of
these muscles, so if they’re in good shape the breasts will sit higher.”
Aside from surgery and a solid push-up bra, the best way to fight sag is with perfect posture. Sitting up straight will make our breasts look substantially bigger, says Weiss. Plus, it’s way cheaper than that name-brand pushup you’ve been eying.
After all our breasts go through, it’s not too surprising
that they often end up with a few battle scars. And unfortunately, these
annoying little marks are largely caused by genetics. But here’s the good news:
“The pink color and puffiness that goes along with relatively new stretch marks
will fade and calm down over time,” says Weiss.
If they’re really bumming you
out, avoiding and treating stretch marks.
