10 Tips to Avoid a Sagging Bustline
Having a perky bustline is something that many women aspire to. While sagging is a natural part of aging, there are certain habits and tips that can help prevent or delay the inevitable sag.
1. Wear the Right Bra: Make sure you are wearing the correct bra size, fit and good quality bras to provide adequate support to your bust.
2. Maintain Good Posture: Standing and sitting up straight can help prevent sagging by promoting better circulation and muscle tone. Having a great bra wardrobe will assist in holding the weight of your breasts assisting you to stand up straight.
3. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated and elastic, reducing the chances of sagging.
4. Moisturize Regularly: Using a moisturizer or lotion can help keep your skin supple and prevent it from losing elasticity.
5. Avoid Smoking & excessive alcohol: Smoking and alcohol can accelerate the aging process, leading to sagging skin and breasts, and even wrinkles!
6. Exercise Regularly: Activities such as strength training and yoga can help tone the chest and back muscles, providing better support for your bust.
7. Wear a Real Sports Bra When Exercising: Investing in a good sports bra can help minimize the impact of exercise on your bust, preventing sagging.
8. Avoid Rapid Weight Loss/Gain: Yo-yo dieting can stretch the skin and lead to sagging, so aim for slow, steady weight loss or maintenance. And remember, don't wait to buy bras until to reach a goal. Buy them throughout your journey. They will help with skin elasticity, comfort and support and allow you to see all your progress.
9. Limit Sun Exposure: UV rays can break down collagen and elastin in the skin, contributing to sagging. Always wear sunscreen when exposed to the sun.
10. Consider a Bralette: Over your bra you've worn all day. No worries, bralettes are wire-free and can be more comfortable for loungewear after you get home, while still providing some support.
