No one wants to end up with saggy breasts! We all want them to remain full and perky and there are some things you can do to help that become a reality. While you can’t completely control this, you can do more than you think. Let’s talk about that.
1 Keep Your Weight Steady
For many women, your weight goes up and down. I know that mine tends to do that, too. But keeping it stable is a good idea. It’s much better to lose weight slowly and keep it off than to drop a dramatic amount only to regain it. If weight is not a struggle for you then count that as one of your blessings!
Frequently asked questions
2 Protect the Girls when You’re Running
Your breasts take a beating when you’re running or doing any other type of vigorous exercise. Exercise is very important and something that should definitely be a part of everyone’s life. Just be sure to wear a good quality sports bra when you’re working out. This stabilizes your breasts against the jerking and jarring they’d otherwise endure. It’s a lot more comfortable for you, too.
3 Drink Your OJ
Surprised to hear this as a tip to help prevent saggy breasts? It’s true, though. Drinking orange juice and eating other vitamin C rich foods will help prevent sagginess everywhere because vitamin C improves skin elasticity. You can also take a daily supplement of this vitamin to help make sure you’re getting your daily amount. Be sure and check with your physician first, though.
4 Don’t Skip Sunscreen
So unless you sunbathe topless, your breasts aren’t getting full sun exposure. But with the normal cuts of bathing suits, a portion of your breasts do get some sun. Be sure to liberally apply sunscreen on the portion showing. You’ll not only prevent sagging skin but also unattractive crepey skin. Taking this preventative step means you’ll look gorgeous in various necklines for decades to come.
5 Make Healthy Food Choices
There’s truth to the age old saying, “you are what you eat.” The best interpretation of that is if you eat healthy foods then you’ll look healthy. A diet of fattening and sugary foods will show, too. Make good food choices to help your body retain its tonality. Having a treat now and then is perfectly okay as long as it doesn’t wreck your diet.
6 Don’t Settle when It Comes to Your Bra
A bra that offers you a good fit and good support is worth the cost. This doesn’t mean it always has to cost a fortune. It’s about the quality, not the price. Everyone will have their favorite brands and that’s great as long as your brand works for you. Go for a bra fitting once a year to make sure you’re wearing the right size, too.
***
Your breasts can change due to a variety of factors such as weight fluctuation, hormonal changes, or aging, so even if you were measured last year, you could need a different size now. Remember, comfort and fit take precedence over how a bra looks. Try on different styles; sometimes a full-coverage bra will offer more support, while at other times, a well-constructed underwire can be your ally in keeping everything uplifted. Prioritize a bra that maintains breast shape without causing discomfort—your chest will thank you for the extra care!
7 Love Your Body
I can’t close without saying this. Love your body! If you’re a little saggy despite your best efforts, then let it go! Maybe you’re a bit saggy but you’ve got beautiful babies that are so worth that small price. Sagginess may be a leftover reminder of winning a hard-fought battle with weight. Whatever the reason, don’t let it get you down.
***
Embracing your body is a journey towards self-acceptance and love. Little imperfections are part of your unique story. You’re not defined by societal standards, but by the incredible things your body has done and continues to do for you. So take a moment, look in the mirror and appreciate the strength and beauty staring back at you. Wear your experiences proudly, and remember, confidence is the most attractive quality. Treat yourself with kindness, and fill your mind with positive affirmations because you are absolutely worthy of self-love, no matter the shape or size.
8 Stay Hydrated
Your breasts have some of the most sensitive skin on the body, and when you're dehydrated your skin becomes dull and shriveled, which after time can take its toll on breast skin. Dehydrated breasts look flaky, wrinkled, and could eventually lose their collagen and fullness causing them to sag.
***
To maintain that vital elasticity and firmness, drink plenty of water throughout the day. The recommended amount may vary, but aiming for eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon, is a good general guideline. Not only will this help your skin remain supple, but it will also aid in overall health. If plain water doesn't excite you, try infusing it with fruits for a refreshing twist. Remember, your skin's hydration starts from within, so keep sipping for a radiant complexion and perkier breasts.
9 Rub Them with Aloe
Aloe Vera has amazing natural skin-tightening properties in it, so to help your bosom stay perky, massage aloe into the breasts in a circular motion for 10 minutes. Allow to sit for another 10 minutes then rinse with cold water. Do this 4-5 times a week for optimal results.
***
Aloe Vera is not only calming for sunburns but also contains collagen-boosting components and antioxidants that improve skin elasticity. The gentle massage stimulates circulation, which nourishes breast tissue. This natural remedy is a great addition to regular breast care routines. For those hesitant about fresh aloe's stickiness, gel alternatives are available, but be sure to check for added chemicals that may reduce the plant's benefits. Remember, consistency is key to seeing changes, so indulge in this nourishing ritual regularly.
10 Quit SMoking
It's no secret that smoking ages the skin on your face, but did you know it ages your breasts as well? Smoking is horrible for any skin as the toxins in cigarettes cause premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin. All things that can wreak havoc on the breast tissue causing your once perky bust to droop.
These are 10 things you can do to prevent saggy breasts from happening to you. Do you have tips you’d like to add? I’d love to hear from you.
