The thigh routine approved by the dermatologist of a beauty editor

When I was 13, I spent a summer in a big camp. It was a formative experience – this is where I discovered that I hate to run, I developed an addiction to the coke of the diet and I learned that the irritation between my thighs was not only common, but that it also had a name – Chub Sea rubs. I have spent almost two decades since the development of my routine to prevent and treat it.

First, let’s be (temporarily) scientific on things – the real term is the friction of the thighs. Dermatologist Dr Rachel Nazarian, MD, FAAD said Instruction That it is “the irritation that comes from pressure and friction on the skin that can cause micro-stages”. It is combined with the bacteria of sweat, which leads to bumps, imperfections and inflammation on the or areas in question.

Prevention is the best medication, and in this case, a good anti-chafing stick guarantees that I can travel miles in the summer heat of the blisters without having the impression that my interior thighs are on fire and rare. There are a ton of options, but the thigh of the Megababe thigh remains my choice. It applies like butter, coating the interior thighs in a thin and discreet wax material. Dr. Nazarian explains that he works by “decreasing the surface tension and allowing the skin to slip rather than grab and rub together”.

I have half a dozen of these anti-chubre friction sticks in my house at any time. There is one in the bathroom, one by the door and a mini in each bag and handbag regularly used. Tips will not last 12 hours unharmed, so the minis help make me reapply each time, preventing my day from being disrupted.

Elizabeth Arden Cream of eight hours

The irritation will occur, however, and to cure this, I like to use a thick balm or a balm like the eight -hour cream of Elizabeth Arden. I did not understand the science behind it; All I knew, before Dr. Nazarian explains it is that he soothes irritation and repairs damaged skin. She explains that Chub Rubs is largely a problem with a broken skin barrier and, therefore, a product that “leaves the humidity barrier intact, guaranteeing the basic irritation and inflammation is at least”, is the solution.

Head to Amazon to buy my anti-chafing routine in two steps and Elizabeth Arden. It kept me active and painless for 17 years and counts. You will find below other Chub Rub products that I also find useful.
