Tips for a dream neckline
Like your eyes and smile, your décolleté is a symbol of femininity. But to ensure your bust remains firm and toned for a long time, it's essential to take care of it daily. To maintain the beauty of your bust, you can rely on two powerful, yet complementary, allies: exercise and cosmetic treatments.
Why take care of your neckline?
We don't always realize it, but the chest is one of the most fragile areas of the female body. Specifically, breasts contain no muscle. They are composed solely of fatty tissue and mammary glands. Breasts are particularly affected by hormonal changes during the major stages of a woman's life, namely puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Frequent weight gain and loss also weaken this part of the body, as breasts are prone to rapid wilting.
As women age,
the skin of the décolleté also tends to loosen and become less elastic. Like
the skin of the face , the epidermis that characterizes the chest is particularly thin. Highly exposed to the sun and temperature variations, it is most frequently affected by brown spots. The sun and the cold attack the skin, which loses its tone every day and horizontal wrinkles and fine lines appear. Women rarely think about it, but wearing ill-fitting underwear is also detrimental to maintaining
a beautiful chest .
To keep your breasts in shape and in shape for a long time, rely on the power of the gym!
Why focus on the benefits of the gym?
The gym is one of the most effective solutions for maintaining your dream cleavage.
As Doctissimo, the online magazine dedicated to health and well-being, reminds us , the exercises are obviously not aimed at strengthening the breasts. Physical activities instead allow you to enhance them by opening the rib cage and strengthening the small and large pectoral muscles responsible for supporting the chest. To do this, make dumbbells your essential daily sports accessories.
Using dumbbells actually increases the resistance to your muscles, which, as you train, become more flexible and powerful. As for the weight of the dumbbells, start with a pair of 0.5 kilos each. You can move on to 1.1 kilo or 1.5 kilo dumbbells when you feel you are comfortable using them. To tone your chest, lie on your back, bend your legs, place your feet on the floor, and push the dumbbells upwards until your arms are fully extended. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat the movements 20 times.
To ensure the effectiveness of this exercise, pull your stomach in when pushing the dumbbells. Tighten your abs to limit the arching of your back. Push-ups are also a common physical exercise that helps take better care of your chest. In addition to strengthening your arms, they open the rib cage and help maintain good posture. Because the shoulders are pushed back, the chest is systematically highlighted. Push-ups are highly recommended for people whose shoulders are rounded forward. Do 20 of them every day! After the push-ups, follow up with another exercise that simply involves placing both hands at chest height, palm against palm. Then, press your hands as hard as possible. For you, the goal is to slightly raise your elbows for 15 seconds. Release and repeat at least 4 times.
Good tips for toning your chest
To
tone your chest , you can also adopt some simple good habits, such as lightly exfoliating this area once a week. In addition to cleansing the skin, exfoliation facilitates cell renewal and helps maintain soft, toned skin. After exfoliating, moisturize your skin with
a suitable cosmetic treatment and protect it with a sunscreen with at least an SPF 30+ protection factor. Maintaining an upright posture at all times is a simple gesture, of course, but it can make a difference.
A straight posture helps to systematically lift your chest and work your pecs. At night, sleep on your back. In the morning and evening, finish your shower with a jet of cold water on your chest: cold water boosts blood microcirculation.
