Although many of us are familiar with looking after the skin on our faces, the skin around the bust is often overlooked. As women, pregnancy, breastfeeding, the menopause and sun exposure are just a few of the changes we go through which can affect the delicate skin on the bust and décolletage, making it appear slack or ‘crepey’. So as the days get brighter and summer gets ever closer, now seems the perfect time to turn our attentions to this area with one of my new personal beauty favourites: Superskin Bust Treatment (UK, IE & US).

I first experienced the benefits of this miracle treatment last year, in the run-up to my wedding. After only a month of use, my skin felt more plumped and rejuvenated than ever, and I even noticed a difference where the skin on my décolletage had become wrinkled and sun damaged. And it’s no wonder. This precious, silky serum is bursting with some of nature’s most potent botanicals, renowned for their toning and firming effects: kigelia, mangosteen peel, quince extract, white lupin and green algae. It is also formulated with natural source vitamin E plus rosehip and cranberry seed which are excellent anti-oxidants that can neutralise free radicals. Collagen and elastin, can be broken down by free radicals making skin appear less firm and supple. In short, a truly effective and advanced formula that offers visible results, whatever your age or stage in life.

Although, Superskin Bust Treatment has been specifically targeted for the bust and decolletage, it’s also important not to neglect the neck area as, along with our hands, this is often one of the first areas to show the telltale signs of ageing – particularly during the summer when skin is more exposed.

When it comes to skincare, I’m a firm believer in the power of massage .This is even more relevant when using a bust treatment, as the act of massaging not only improves circulation around the bust and armpits, but also gives you a few precious moments during your day to check your breast health and be aware of any changes.  

I recommend the following routine:

• The perfect time to apply Superskin Bust Treatment is after bathing or showering every evening, when skin is still warm and will be more receptive to the wonderful toning and firming properties.  After towel drying, warm 2-4 pumps between your hands. Stand in front of the mirror so you can see what you are doing and monitor any changes.
• Start underneath your breastbone (see illustration 1 below), and use one hand to massage the serum in circles around your bust towards your armpit (see illustration 2). Repeat for 3 circles on each bust. This encourages drainage of the lymphatic system and reduces excess fluid in the tissues.
• Continue upwards onto your décolletage (see illustration 3)  using sweeping strokes to boost circulation and encourage a smoother complexion. If you are concerned with sun damage, wrinkles or slackened skin, pay particular attention to these areas, especially on the neck as a skin-booster under your moisturiser.

N.B. Remember to always check for lumps and bumps when applying your Superskin Bust Treatment. We have a page dedicated to breast awareness with the ‘5 point breast awareness code’. Don’t be afraid to get a check up with your doctor if you feel or see anything unusual on your breasts.  After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

I would love to hear from anyone who finds these tips useful, or has new ways of using their Superskin Bust Treatment. Here’s to happy, healthy breasts!
