Summers bring with them several skin concerns and one of the most common ones is thigh chafing. Since we sweat a lot more during the humid weathers, our thighs rub against each other leading to redness and rashes. Hence, addressing the problem of thigh chafing is crucial when it comes to caring for your skin. Below are a few tips to prevent and solve the problem of thigh chafing…
Thigh chafing can cause a great deal of irritability on the skin. This is when applying something cooling in the form of lubrication can really help. This will ensure that your thighs don’t glide past each other all the time. We suggest using the Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Body Lotion. This is a soothing lotion that keeps your body moisturised and doesn’t feel one bit greasy on the skin.
Wear weather appropriate clothes
Wearing skirts or dresses can aggravate thigh chafing. Even when you do wear them, make sure you wear a pair of cycling shorts inside to reduce the friction. Moreover, if you’re working out, choose fabrics that are moisture-wicking.
Use an overnight treatment
When it comes to soothing summer rashes and thigh chafing, nothing works better than Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Help your skin heal by adding a protective layer of the jelly in your inner thighs before going to bed to allow your skin to heal overnight.
Wear anti-chafing gear
Bandelettes are extremely useful when it comes to preventing thigh-chafing. They’re lace bands that deter your thighs from touching each other. Make sure you wear them under your skirts or dresses to keep thigh chafing at bay.
Choose a mild body wash
When you’re experiencing thigh chafing, you can also suffer from redness and sensitivity. This is why you need to ensure that you wash your thighs with a mild cleanser—something that’s not too abrasive on the skin. Choose body washes meant for sensitive skin.
