Booty Care

You might be thinking to yourself, “Why the heck do I need to perform skincare rituals on my butt?” That’s a great question, and there are some specific answers. Just like our face, the skin on our butts is prone to getting clogged pores, pimples, and discoloration. The fact that our clothing is constantly rubbing against the skin only makes matters worse. This friction can lead to dry, irritated, broken skin and bacterial skin infections. Perhaps because it’s considered taboo – or perhaps because it’s just out of sight/out of mind. A major skincare issue is that this area is often ignored, forgotten, and otherwise neglected. That is, until an issue arises, and we go into “fix it” mode. Common skincare issues our butts face includes acne-like bumps called folliculitis, keratosis pilaris (a buildup of dead skin that can lead to tiny bumps and a sandpapery texture), heat rashes, fungal infections, and contact dermatitis.
