I want pretty buttocks!

Too flat, too imposing, too luscious... the buttocks and women, it's the eternal love story "I love you, me neither".
In anticipation of possible pregnancies, the buttocks have extremely elastic skin tissue and highly active fat cells. Result:a significant risk of curves lined with cellulite.

It's a chance, the buttocks are made up of fat but also of muscle:

– the posterior muscle or gluteus maximus, located at the back of the pelvis, is responsible for the rounded appearance (or not) of the buttocks;

– the gluteus medius, located in a fan on the upper side of the pelvis, brings curves to this part of the body;

– the small gluteus, located under the gluteus medius, the smallest and deepest of the muscles, draws the overflowing shape (or not) of the buttocks.

Translation:yes, we can shape them without going through the plastic surgery box! Because the sworn enemy of the buttocks remains a sedentary lifestyle. If, like a good active woman, you go from the office to your car… ouch, ouch, ouch! If you add to that that you are the queen of yo-yo diets, don't be surprised if your body, in view of the next food shortages caused by the diet, starts to store up, especially in the buttocks!

The buttocks beauty routine

As often as possible or, better, every day:
Finish the shower with a jet of cool water to firm the tissues and fight against the installation of cellulite.
Massage your buttocks every day, morning and/or evening, with or without cream.

Twice a week:
Exfoliate the buttocks at least twice a week to stimulate and smooth the skin.

Beauty rules

1. While standing for a long time (in the subway or at the supermarket checkout), make the most of the time by squeezing and loosening your buttocks several times in a row to get a killer buttocks!
2. Don't neglect this area forgotten:massage, exfoliation, hydration… Everything is good, as long as the buttocks are soft in the end!
