TO LIFT A DROOPY BOTTOM
Vertical panels of lace visually elongate legs so the rear looks higher in comparison
Nutritionist says:
Load up on good fats
Gittleman’s go-to foods to combat gravity? Fish, avocado and nuts—all things that are high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. “These good fats actually help strengthen the glutes to correct droopiness.” Even better: The fatty acids moisturize skin for a softer, more youthful-looking backside. Gittleman suggests eating two servings of fatty acid–packed foods a day for a noticeable difference in four weeks.
Dermatologist says: Massage on a “plumping” scrub
The recipe for a beautiful, boosted bottom, according to Dr. Jaliman: Mix 1 cup of brown sugar (it exfoliates so skin looks smooth and taut), 1⁄2 cup of coconut oil (its lauric acid hydrates and plumps saggy skin) and 1 tsp. of cinnamon (its cinnamaldehyde increases collagen production for firmer skin). Massage onto the backside and rinse after five minutes. Use three times a week for a more supple, toned tush in as little as four weeks.
Trainer says: Perform sets of glute bridges
“These moves tone the gluteus maximus and the gluteus medius to firm the butt,” says Calabrese. To do: Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat and hips raised; hold for five seconds, then release.
Do three sets of 12, four times a week for results in
30 days.
Stylist says: Toss on breezy palazzo pants
The floor-grazing, wide-leg style masks a drooping derriere,while the high-waisted design draws the eye up to instantly perk up the rear. Bonus: Made in a soft cotton fabric, they’re light enough to wear as a bathing suit cover-up and cute enough to wear with a pretty blouse!
