Instructions

• 1

  Remove your bra a soon as possible to help remove the bra strap marks on your back and shoulders. Wearing your bra longer than necessary will only worsen the marks. Allow your skin time to recuperate from the pressing and pulling of the bra straps.

• 2

  Take a long, hot shower to help remove bra strap marks from your body. Let the hot water run down over your shoulder and back. Use an exfoliating sponge and some body wash. Massage the areas of your body where the marks appear. This will help with your circulation, and it should help your skin appear smooth.

  Rub your back and shoulder vigorously with a towel when you step out of the shower to help further smooth away the appearance of the bra strap marks.

  Use body lotion on your back and shoulders. Pour a generous portion of lotion into the palm of your hand; massage it into your shoulders and back. This will help soften your skin and reduce the appearance of bra strap marks. If it is hard to reach your back with the lotion, ask a spouse or friend to rub it onto your back for you.
