A Butt Enhancing Cream That Works and More

As the weather gets warmer we start shedding those bulky clothing layers and baring more skin. But while wearing sundresses, shorts and tank tops keeps up feeling cool and comfortable, by offering glimpses of dimpled skin, a bloated belly or a saggy bust, they can also sap our confidence. Check out these tips that target warm-weather body woes— stat.

For A Dazzling Rear

From a droopy tush to ingrown hairs, baring your backside in a bathing suit with confidence may seem like it’s beyond reach. But these easy tips will make flaunting your rear view a cinch.

Lift The Bum

Thanks to gravity, our derriere dips lower with each birthday. The cream that social media influencers swear by to perk it up fast: Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (Buy from Sol De Janeiro, $10). It’s made with the Brazilian fruit extract guarana, which contains more caffeine than coffee, says New York City dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD. “Guarana ‘wakes up’ circulation, creating firmer skin for a lifted appearance.” Plus, the butt enhancing cream’s shimmery mica particles leave the tush with a youthful glow. Tip: Apply to your bum in a circular motion (this increases circulation for faster absorption).

Diminish Dimples

To knock out cellulite around the rear, try the DIY “jelly” mask made popular on Instagram. To do: Mix 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin (its collagen absorbs into skin for a plumping effect that “fills in” dimples), 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (its fatty acids tighten skin to “shrink” dimples). Apply onto cellulite-prone areas and let sit for 10 minutes; rinse.

Eliminate Ingrowns

The key to nixing those inflamed bumps on the back of our upper thighs? TikTok creators are touting the ease of a quick scrub that gently removes the dead, dry skin that traps the hairs in. To do: Mix ½ cup of sugar, ⅓ cup of olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of turmeric together in a jar; gently scrub the mix onto ingrowns while in the shower. The sugar’s granules slough off skin, olive oil’s fatty acids re-moisturize skin, and turmeric fights inflammation due to bacterial buildup.

For A Beautiful Bust

If your summer wardrobe is filled with support-lacking swimsuits and crepiness-revealing tank tops, no need to toss them. Here’s help.

Erase Crepey Chest Skin

Praise for the anti-aging benefits of “slugging” (slathering on a petrolatum-based ointment before bed) is all over TikTok. Slugging locks moisture deep into skin’s layers, which helps diminish wrinkles overnight, says Florida-based dermatologist Marianna Blyumin Karasik, MD. She suggests using CeraVe Healing Ointment for best results (Buy from Walmart, $19.88). Its ceramides create a moisture-retaining barrier in skin while its hyaluronic acid helps plump it up to reveal a smoother chest by morning. To do: Slather the chest with the ointment before bed, then rinse it off in the a.m.

Boost A Saggy Bosom

The sticky secret to perking up boobs in a bathing suit? Wearing wash-and-wear sticker cups, like PADRAM Silicone Invisible Lift Up Bra underneath it, say TikTokers (Buy from Amazon, $19.99). To do: Simply place on the breast (the silicone cups create a sticky suction), then lift the tab —and the boobs — up; stick in place. Tip: Sprinkle baking powder on skin before applying for added grip.

Calm A Boob Rash

High temperatures or exposure to too much sun can lead to an itchy rash across the chest or along the bra line. The remedy that YouTubers turn to? A cornstarch and tea tree oil mix. “Cornstarch absorbs any moisture harboring rash-causing bacteria,” says Dr. Engelman. “And antiseptic tea tree oil fights off bacteria to reduce redness and itching.” To do: Mix ½ tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 drops of tea tree oil and apply to rash before bed; rinse in the morning.
