Chest acne in women is a serious problem that's often unmentioned because of embarrassment. While not every women out there experience this issue, it occurs quite often to women specifically because of several reasons. Let's look at how to get rid of chest acne in women.
Chest acne tends to affect women more so than men. Statistically, it is 54% of women and only 40% of men. It is higher for females because they wear bras that chafe the chest area. It occurs more frequently during the hot summer months. Because of the extra undergarment that they wear, more moisture is trapped and can raise the humidity level which creates the perfect environment for bacteria to flourish and to infect oil filled glands and pores.
There are a few things you can do as a preventative during these months. These apply to both genders.
If you feel sweaty, make sure that you dry yourself off as soon as possible. It is best to take either a bath or a shower. A bath soak will allow deeper clogs to loosen and unclog. So, if you live in an extremely humid area, you might need to take several a day. Do not feel like you are being overly compulsive by doing so. You will feel much better for it too.
You might be tempted to use sun tanning oils and such, but avoid doing so. Anything that is oil based or alcohol based can create a flare-up.
Try to wear clothes that let fresh air in so as to allow sweat to evaporate and dry your skin. Cotton fabric is ideal as are other linens. Avoid nylon, vinyl, polyester, or anything else that doesn't breathe. Also try not to wear clothing that is very tight-fitting. You want to allow for some air to circulate.
Avoid using scented soaps, or scented lotions, and even scented fabric softeners and detergents.
