4 Ways To Lift Your Breasts…Naturally

lift breasts naturallyMany women search incessantly for ways to lift and firm their breasts in a natural way, and I'm here to tell you that IT IS POSSIBLE without taking drug enhancers or getting augmentations. Here are some tips on how to keep your breasts firm and full to defy gravity throughout the years.

Use A Mask (Yes, A Mask)

No, not that type of mask. This mask created from cucumber and egg yolk is loaded with high levels of protein and natural skin toning properties that will help to firm sagging and improve the appearance of the skin. To create this mask, one small cucumber must be pureed in a blender along with one egg yolk and one teaspoon of butter or cream to make the mixture into a paste. Once the mask is created, it should be applied to the breasts and left on for 30 minutes. After the treatment is over, the mask should be washed off thoroughly in cold water. Using this mask once a week is recommended to firm and strengthen breast tissue.

Change Up Your Bra Size

Nearly 70% of women don't wear the right size bra. Your breasts should be treated just like your feet when it comes to shoes. You can't walk around in shoes that are too small for your feet because they would hurt and eventually cause other medical issues, so why squeeze your breasts into a bra that is ill-fitting? Wearing the wrong bra size can cause poor posture, back pain and even damage to breast tissue. My advice to you is to...

...get your bra size measured by a professional. Ladies, I know Victoria's Secret claims to be the #1 leader in bra fitting, but if you are beyond a 36DD, VS will send you off on your bra size. Trust me, my twin sister wears a HH and they get her size wrong every time.  My advice to you is to go and get measured by the bra fit specialists at INTIMACY for your true bra size. You can find the Intimacy nearest here.

To learn how to measure yourself, watch this quick Youtube guide on how to measure your bra size correctly.

Do Exercises That Build Up The Pectoral Muscles

The breast mainly consists of fat, but the entire mass sits on top of a muscle called the pectoral. When you do exercises that build up this muscle, you provide a solid base to help hold up the fat on top to prevent sagging.  Here are two simple exercises you can do even in your home to help firm, lift and shape your breasts, no matter what size they are!

  • Push Ups: A simple set of at least 10 push ups a day can help strengthen the pectoral muscles and set you on your way to more lifted breasts.  The proper way to do a push up is to lay flat on your stomach with your...

    ...hands placed flat on the ground under you about a shoulder's width apart. Use your arms to push your body up into an even "plank" position where your butt is even with the rest of your body, and then come back down into resting position. If a full pushup is too hard for you, you can use the modified "girl version" of push ups by getting on your hands and knees, extending your arms out a few inches in front of you at shoulder's width apart, and then use your knees to balance you as you bring your face and chest down to the ground in a push up.  Doing 50 push ups in a week will give you great results within a month! Trust me, it's worth the work.

  • Weight Lifting: Weight lifting is also another great way to build up the pectoral muscle. Bench pressing is one of the most ideal exercises in weight training to build up the chest, but if you are not that advanced in your training, try a simple balance ball exercise you can do at the gym or at home. Use a balance ball to support your weight under your upper back and extend your legs out in a 90 degree angle.  Five-pound free weights are recommended, but if the weight is a little too heavy for you, you can go down to three pounds. Start with a free weight in each hand with your hands rested on the ground at your sides.  Bring your arms up into a 90 degree angle and hold the position for a few seconds. As soon as you can no longer handle the position, drop the weights back down to your sides, take a few seconds to rest and go back into the same motion.
