Let us admit this -we don't bathe properly. With hardly any time for a shower, all we can manage is to quickly wash off and head out of the bathroom. Most of us, therefore, tend to skip creases on our body. These areas are a bit sensitive and tend to attract sweat and dirt easily. A hygiene routine of these areas becomes utterly important because the skin there is folded. The first step of cleaning your creases is knowing where all of them are and making sure that you clean them every day while taking a bath, no matter what. Here's a step-by-step cleaning regimen of all the body creases:
1. Know your crease points and make sure that you clean those every day.Back of your ear, corner of your nose, your neck creases, underarms, the inner side of the elbow, wrist, under your boob area, waistline, bikini area, behind the knees, under the butt cheek. These are the areas you should clean.
2.Scrubbing: Use a mild scrub to exfoliate the dead skin cells from there. In circular motion slowly continue the process for almost 2 mins. Rinse.
3.Pat dry because you don't want any moisture to be left out for any kind of germs to breed in.
4. Moisturise: Apply your favourite moisturiser and continue with your day. Repeat this process before sleeping too.
5. At times, when it is just too hot outside, moisturising won't help, use some antiperspirant powder or roll on.
6. Use a mirror to clean areas like the back of your knees and creases below your butt cheek to clearly see if you're cleaning the area right.
7. Don't rub too hard, the skin from those areas is softer than other parts, so make sure you don't end up peeling off your skin.
8. One of the most sensitive crease areas on your body is your navel. Clean it very careful.
