Love Your Butt
Try these bedtime tricks guaranteed to make your butt beautifully bearable, from Playboy centerfold photo stylist Brenda Venus, author of Secrets of Seduction for Women (Dutton, 1996).
· “Any woman can create curves simply by being aware of the way her body looks when it’s horizontal,” advises Venus. To flatter your best assets, try lying on your side, one leg crossed over the other and both legs bent slightly inward. Payoff: Your hips rise and your waist narrows, creating a sensuously curved silhouette.
· If you’re sitting in bed, prop up some pillows to lean against and sit on your side, weight on one hip, with your shoulders back rather than slumped forward. Payoff:“Poised posture automatically makes you look sexier and more confident, elongates your neck, and works like a hydraulic lift on your breasts,” says Venus.
· Since the skin on your thighs and butt contains few oil glands, it needs more than moisturizer to keep it smooth and touchable. To prepare to bare, slough off dead skin cells in the tub or shower using a loofah, body brush, or an exfoliating cream containing alpha-hydroxy acids. Scrub until your skin feels tingly and invigorated—not raw—and rinse with warm water. While your skin is still damp, apply a rich moisturizer.
How to Make Your Skin Feel Silky
If you can’t make it to a spa for a skin-smoothing body mask, here’s how to do it at home for little moolah:
· Warm a mix of equal parts honey and sesame oil in the microwave. After exfoliating, massage the mix into thighs, legs, arms, and tummy with your hands using sweeping, circular movements. Rinse with warm milk, patting it onto the skin with a soft facecloth. Shower off any leftover stickiness with warm water—no soap.
· If your back is prone to breakouts, slough off dead skin, unplugging blackheads and whiteheads, by gently scrubbing the area with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid, to help kill the bacteria that can cause blemishes.
· Splurging on a full body scrub at a spa is the ultimate way to wind up with skin that’s smooth and touchable. At spas, natural sea salts are massaged into the skin to whisk off dead skin cells and stimulate circulation, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and glowing. To achieve the same effect at home, mix three parts sea salt with one part bath gel. While you’re in the tab, massage into skin with your palms using circular movements. Start with your legs and work your way up to your thighs, tummy, arms, shoulders, and back. Shower off using a loofah soaked in bath gel.
Nearly Nude Know-How
Many photographers who shoot nudes use a skin-flattering orange light filter. To create the same effect in real life, try switching to pink-tinted lightbulbs just for the fun of it. “You want low, diffused light, or candlelight,” explains Venus—buy pink 20-watt, not 60-watt, incandescent, no fluorescent, bulbs. Bright light is more appropriate to brain surgery than sex.
· Scent makes the body more sensuous. Spritz body mist lightly from head to toe, or smooth scented body moisturizer all over to leave skin soft and fragrant between the sheets.
· You can even out your skin tone or cover tan lines with self tanner. To accentuate cleavage, dust powder slightly darker than your skin tone in a Y-shape between your breasts, or sweep shimmery pink beige blush all over breasts to make your bust look lustrous.
· Trimming your pubic hair creates the impression that you’re ready to make love, according to Venus. “Men think about sex all the time, but the idea that you do too is sexually exciting to them,” she says. To do it, trim hair to about a half-inch using small rounded-point scissors. You can shave to simply tidy up the shape or change it altogether. Prep with soap or shaving cream first for a close shave. Razor straight across on the top and down each side, leaving a one-and-a-half-inch strip of hair. If your pubic hair is coarse, soften it afterward with the same conditioner you use on your hair. Comb into shape with a fine-tooth comb.
Walk This Way
Whether you feel comfortable baring a shoulder or a thigh, or going topless, the way you walk and carry yourself conveys more sex appeal than anything in your closet. Here’s how you can look amazing in next to nothing.
· “You’re bound to look more seductive walking around with something on than buck naked,” advises Venus. “Men love lingerie—even a pair of panties suggest naughtiness and fantasy,” she says. “It says, ‘I want you to take it off.’”
· Try walking the way supermodels do—toes and balls of your feet first rather than hitting the ground heels first, head and chin up, shoulders back, tummy tucked in. “This automatically lengthens your legs and makes your body look leaner from any angle,” Venus says. Walk as calmly and naturally as you can—“most men find confidence a huge turn on.”
Drape Your Shape
· Soft satin or fine cotton sheets draped the right way can work like liposuction on your shape. According to David Dearinger, Ph.D., chief curator at the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts in NYC, ancient Greek sculptors carve women wearing what looks like “wet drapery so thin and diaphanous that even nipples and navels show.” Satin and thin cotton sheets can recreate the Aphrodite sex appeal.
· While waiting for him to come to bed, lie on your side, sheet gently draped over your chest, arm strategically placed under your breasts to help boost cleavage.
· If you’re shy about baring all on the way to the bathroom, make your exit sheet and all, playfully sweeping it up with one hand at your chest so it covers your front and wrapping it around your butt with the other hand, leaving the back revealed.
· Practice walking and draping yourself in front of a mirror until you get the hang of it. (For inspiration, go to a museum to see how classic artists draped nudes.)
· Draping on an angle looks less contrived. Try baring one breast or leaving a leg exposed the way 18th century neo-classical painters and sculptors depicted women.
