I'm no stranger to a booty mask or any product that promises to tone and tighten. Scrubs and creams that claim to smooth, tone, and leave your cheeks with a healthy glow? I've tried them. Brushes and massagers that exfoliate and blast cellulite? Been there. If it's for your ass and thick thighs, I've put it to the test. But no product aimed at treating the butt has stuck it out in my routine, and I was just about to give up on a holy grail booty product. However, when I heard about a new butt mask and that peach queen Khloe Kardashian was a fan, I had to get my hands on it. Not only has this newcomer booty mask sold out on Sephora an impressive three times since launching in the U.S. in September 2018, but Kardashian posted a series of self-care Instagram stories using the "extra" luxurious cream. Was this butt mask the real deal? For the sake of journalism (and my toosh), I needed to find out. Maelys Cosmetics B-Tight Lift and Firm Booty Mask is made with firming collagen and guarana, a fruit native to the Amazon with seeds known to contain way more caffeine than coffee beans. Caffeine is extremely helpful in smoothing skin and reducing dimpling (aka cellulite), notes New York City-based dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD. The formula also boasts detoxifying red grapefruit oil, which activates the lymphatic system. When that is stimulated, cellulite can be prevented or lessened, she adds. The star ingredients are pink pepperslim and eco-slim. Pink pepperslim is a slimming oil known to reduce fat and is eight times more powerful than caffeine, while eco-slim has a 46% higher concentration of caffeine than caffeine extracts. The bottom line? These ingredients could reduce sagging and improve tightness, says Dr. Jaliman.

It was finally time to see what all the fuss was about. I decided to give the gym a rest (who am I kidding, I wasn't really planning on working out anyway) in order to give this product a thorough test. Upon opening the mask, I was surprised to see how much product you really got. Usually, you get cheated with a partially full container or a travel-size amount in a large bottle, but this jar was jam-packed with a dreamy pink cream! I dipped the tips of my fingers in the jar, applied a generous amount of the product to my butt, and started rubbing the cream onto both cheeks. The directions warn that the product is supposed to lightly warm up, and after a nice lather, I felt a slightly warm sensation. I also noticed that the mask dried pretty quickly, which makes it great for slapping on in the mornings even if I'm in a rush (or applying at night, since it won't annoyingly stick to bed sheets). But, the best news? After just one use, my butt felt super smooth! After a few more days of applying the mask twice daily, things back there definitely felt tighter and looked more defined. As for the appearance of cellulite, it hadn't magically disappeared, but it had visibly improved. The Maelys Cosmetics website does say it takes about three weeks to see a reduction in cellulite, so I have high hopes. Luckily, Maelys Cosmetics B-Tight Lift and Firm Booty Mask is in stock and can be snapped up for under $50. I'm not sure this butt mask will give me a peach as ripe as Khloe's, but I'm confident it will get me closer to my #bootygoals.

Consider the 80/20 Guideline for Nutrition vs. Exercise

It's not possible to reduce fat from specific spots in your body, but you can reduce lower belly fat by reducing your overall percentage of body fat, explains Nick Hounslow an LA-based ISSA certified personal trainer. "This is done by following a diet of whole or minimally processed foods that contain protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients, he says. "You'll want to make sure that you're eating fewer calories than you are burning in a day." Be careful not to overdo it and cut too many calories or do so too quickly—a slow and steady weight loss is optimal for long-term success, he says. "As a nutritionist, I tell my clients that you can work your core all you want but if your nutrition isn’t 80% you will not see any results," says Stephanie Rofkahr, nutritionist and certified personal trainer. Here, Rofkahr is speaking to the concept that is generally accepted by the fitness and nutrition community: weight loss is 80% proper nutrition and 20% exercise.
