Shake What Mama Gave You

Smooth Synergy Fanny Facial

Eskimos have more than a dozen words for snow. Americans have more than a dozen for butt.

That says something about our priorities.

And it best explains the popularity of the Fanny Facial, a three-step, bootylicious butt-buffing treatment.

Take the junk in your trunk to Smooth Synergy’s nondescript, Upper East Side space, where the sleek-skinned staff flashes their pearly whites before hooking up a whole bunch of wires to your naked, fleshy rear.

After a little exfoliation (before you’re wired, of course), microcurrents are pulsed right to your keister, which supposedly tones the tush by relieving the build up around cells and cellulite. (Can’t tell much from one session, but the 40 minutes of butt-clenching vibrations make for a truly unique experience.)

What we’re really over the moon for is the organic spray tan — the finishing touch for your newly pumped up derriere. Made from mineral salt bronzers and vegetable derivatives, it’s completely natural and lasts for a week.

And, no, your butt won’t look big in it.

Pinch your cheek. It’s true.

Available at Smooth Synergy, 686 Lexington Avenue, between 56th and 57th Street, suite 3n (212-397-0111 or smoothsynergy.com).
