As we age, a slew of factors – including the growth of fat cells, loss of muscle mass, weight gain and loose skin – contribute to dreaded derriere droop. But there’s plenty you can do to restore a youthful appearance to your backside.
Droop Danger: Muscle Loss
The buttocks get their lift and shape from the gluteus maximus muscle. After 40, fat cells begin to proliferate and grow larger. Simultaneously, another consequence of the aging process is the loss of muscle mass. This combo causes the butt to droop and soften.
Butt Booster: Plie Squat
Squats are the ultimate butt-building exercise – and you don’t have to go to the gym to do them. You can easily work squats into your daily routine; do them while watching TV, folding the laundry, or blow-drying your hair. For the plie squat, think of a ballerina. You’ll want to stand with your feet wider than your shoulders. Extend your arms, contract the butt muscles and lower into a squat, then rise to stand,REPEAT
To make this exercise more effective, add protein to your diet.
Women in their 40s tend to gain weight around their hips and thighs. This extra weight makes the butt look wider.
Butt Booster: Fanny Panties
Try specially designed undergarments to get an extra lift and boost. Look for lycra panels that will suck in what you want to hide and lift what you want to accentuate. You can also turn to panties with foam or silicone inserts; these inserts will add volume to your backside.
Droop Danger: Dry, Loose Skin
As we age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, resulting in thinner, drier skin all over the body – including the skin on your buttocks.
Butt Booster: Fanny Facial Treatment
You can improve the appearance of your buttocks with a fanny facial. Coffee grinds are the main ingredient in this fanny facial; caffeine constricts blood vessels to make skin look tighter. Salt is an excellent exfoliant and skin brightener. Honey and olive oil work to hydrate and soften the skin.
Ingredients
2 cups of coffee grinds
1/4 cup sea salt
3 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp honey
Directions
Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl or tupperware container. Use this scrub in the shower. Massage into your butt and thighs. Rinse well.
