Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise.
While most of us religiously swear by our favourite moisturisers and night creams for the face and even neck, we often neglect to moisturise our chest or breasts.

Your chest, in fact has some of your body's most sensitive skin and is very thin. Moisturise the thin, crepey skin on your chest with a thick lotion or night cream. In particular, look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or cocoa butter. First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream (pictured above) makes for a good option to moisturise and firm up your breasts.

Don’t forget sunscreen.
"Out of sight, out of mind"? That saying does not hold true when it comes to using sunscreen on your breasts. Sunscreen protects your breast skin from skin cancer and from the breakdown of collagen and elastin that causes them to sag. Try Bio-Essence's Power Protect Cooling Sunscreen (SPF56) for easy daily use.

Highlighters: The perfect cleavage cosmetic.
If you're planning to wear an outfit with a décolleté, make highlighter your best friend. Without doubt, every girl needs to own a powder or liquid highlight, like Benefit's Sun Beam (pictured above). Brush the highlight on the fleshy upper-boob area and blend it in till it leaves a beautiful, subtle glow. You'll find that your cleavage will look more curvaceous as the light reflects off it. For added depth, you can also add bronzer between your breasts! Be sure to blend, however, so it looks natural.

Try silicone inserts!
Got a special night lined up? Try silicone inserts (also known as 'cutlets') for a quick and easy cup upsize! P.S. You can use these in your bras or even swimsuits.

For a deeper cleavage, place the insert on the outside of each breast; fror a lift, tuck them under the bust. Silicone inserts are a great cheat for breasts that might not be as perky. Stick them higher on the nipple, rather than on its center, for a flattering, youthful shape.

Embrace push-up bras.
Push-up bras are a great way to instant achieve a perkier, larger cup size - sans any breast augmentation. Our favourite push-up bra is the Victoria Secret Bombshell Bra (pictured above). It is a well-known celebrity secret as well, sworn by the likes of Kylie Jenner and Candice Swanepoel. The bra actually gives you two added cup sizes and can take you from an A to a C in mere seconds.

Avoid sleeping face down.
Sleep on your back whenever possible. You might not know this, but you can actually develop chest wrinkles from sleeping on your stomachs.

Use shapes and colours to downplay large cup sizes.
There are some situations where you do not necessarily want to draw attention to your assets - such as an important meeting with your boss, or having dinner with your in-laws. If you're blessed with an ample cup size, you can opt for a top with a high neckline or cowl-neck. Alternatively, opt for monochromatic outfit looks; it streamlines top-heavy silhouettes.

Choose bras with side boning.
Bras with boning on the side can add desired structure and shape. This is because it pushes the breasts to the center of the chest for a great silhouette and support, and can even maintain the longevity of the bra too.

Get bronzed.
If your outfit has some cleavage action, applying a little bronzer to your chest area is a great tip to create a flattering cleavage! Put on your favourite push-up bra and outline your cleavage with a spray bronzer or a liquid bronzing lotion, like the By Terry Tea to Tan Face & Body.
