Babz: Dimple Down Cup-And-Slide Serum & Cups

by Brittany Leitner

Not to brag or anything, but I’ve been hawking the importance of all-over skincare for years now. I mean, it’s the natural progression after totally mastering your skincare routine, right? But don’t freak out if you feel like you’ve finally gotten on track with a face routine and now you have your body to worry about. An easy, two step system is here that will only take five minutes out of your day.

But let’s back up a little first. Why have I been so bodycare obsessed for so many years? Because as a beauty editor with over 10 years of experience, I’ve been able to learn about the ingredients in body care products that make them actually work and show improvement in your skin’s texture, appearance and feel. I’ve also had my eye on all of the innovations that end up on the market (and the ones that quickly disappear because of a lack of interest). It’s clear that consumers and readers want products that are easy to add into their daily routine and products that actually work. Plus, now that most skincare lovers are well acquainted with the overarching buzzworthy skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, they want to see these ingredients in their body care products too.
The way I see it, there’s no point in taking so much care of the skin on your face if you’re going to ignore the skin on the rest of your body. One of my favorite places to focus on when it comes to skincare is the butt and thigh area. As someone with a bum size that exceeds typical measurements (my top half is two full dress sizes smaller than my bottom half!), I’ve grown to love this part of my body that makes me unique. I definitely want to keep it looking its best, which is why I know hydrating and energizing ingredients are key to keep my skin looking bouncy AF and smooth to the touch.
The Babz Dimple Down Cup-And-Slide Serum + Cups is one of my favorite ways to give my bum some TLC. It’s basically a two step system that allows you to wake up the skin in this area and get it out of winter hibernation. And let me tell you, (as a New Yorker who’s currently in the thick of winter) nothing sounds better for my skin.
The Babz Dimple Down Cup-And-Slide Serum is made from a few stand-out ingredients that make it one of my top picks for body care. The female founder, Raquel, is an esthetician and beauty industry veteran, so she knows a thing or two about what makes for great skincare. First, it contains poppy seed oil, which is naturally anti-inflammatory and helps protect and repair the skin’s barrier. Yes, even your butt has a skin barrier that needs care.

It also has niacinamide, which is a must for anything I’m going to take the time to slather onto my body skin. Why? It’s basically a skincare superstar that pulls quadruple duty. It helps improve skin’s elasticity, reduce the signs of aging (including fine lines, sagging, and hyperpigmentation), and it can even help build keratin, which helps strengthen the skin. And though it has so many more ingredients that work wonders for your skin, I’ll end on my favorite: hyaluronic acid.

You’ve probably seen hyaluronic acid as a main ingredient in the products you’re using on your face and for the body, it has the same visible results. It helps keep skin looking and feeling plump by adding a boost of moisture to the skin that keeps it looking vibrant.
To use this system, first apply a super thin layer of the serum to the area you want to target. A little goes a long way, which means your product will last you months without having to pick up a replacement. Then, grab one of the two included Babz cups, based on the size of the area you’re targeting. For the bum, I definitely reach for the larger cup. When I work on arms and abs, I choose the smaller one.
Then, create a light compression with the cup to get it to suck onto the skin. It shouldn’t hurt, but you’ll definitely feel a little something. I personally don’t trust any beauty device unless I can feel it getting to work a bit, but that’s just me. From there, move the cup into circular or zigzag motions for just three to five minutes, depending on how much time you have that day. Five minutes under your belt is all you need to get the effects from this routine. It’s like giving a kiss to the part of your body that has been begging for attention all winter long by awaking the fascia and delivering a triple threat to cellulite: circulation, oxygenation and detoxification.

Whether you’ve mastered your facial skincare routine and are looking to expand its benefits elsewhere, or just want to have your bum perfectly Babz “kissed” before the summer season hits, this is one of my favorite body care products to use at home and recommend to my friends. Make sure to check out the brand’s other products, including a caffeinated scrub and contouring body lotion too.
