Buttne is a thing - natural skincare for a perfect peach!
Perfect peaches aren't just for summer! Now that the world is slowly opening up again, we get to travel :-) which also means beach access and bikinis all year round. As women, we aim for a smooth, toned, and bump free booty but sometimes squats aren’t the only thing helping that gorgeous peach of yours look flawless! Bumps and inflammation on your butt cheeks are a thingggg and we're here to tell you that it doesn't have to be. Not to be compared to the same acne that appears on your face, this is called folliculitis (don’t worry it’s not as serious as it sounds).
Why do we get it?
- Wearing your sweaty gym clothes for too long
- Using an old razor or not moisturizing while shaving
- Sitting down for too long causing friction to the skin
- Wearing the wrong underwear or not changing it often enough
What can we do about it?
- Exfoliate! 1-2 times a week with a gentle, hydrating body scrub to get rid of dead skin cells and keep the outer layer looking nice and smooth. We recommend our Coffee Grapefruit Scrub – bonus with the caffeine to help tighten skin and fight cellulite.
- Dry brush! A body brush is the perfect tool to further exfoliate the skin and stimulate circulation while eliminating toxins through your lymphatic system. Dry brushing reduces those pesky ingrown hairs that can later get infected and it also helps get rid of dead skin cells and cellulite. Woohooo!
- Moisturize! Moisturize! This is the real key to healthy looking skin, don’t neglect your booty! Look no further than your kitchen counter, coconut oil (we love our conscious coconut travel tube) which not only moisturizes, but is known for its antimicrobial properties which helps fight against bacteria like acne and folliculitis.
- OH! Did we say moisturize? Soooo our newest addition to the Fachie Fam is Miami Beach Bum, whose results-driven Bum + Body Cream is a daily moisturizer & go-to spot treatment for healthy skin. Formulated with aloe and oregano to balance the microflora in your skin’s microbiome, alleviating skin irritations, and giving your skin a full reset.
Its basically made to help with:
• Dryness & dullness
• Folliculitis
• Acne
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Keratosis pilaris + more.
While body washes like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or natural antibacterial remedies like apple cider vinegar are great to treat the infected areas, it’s even better to add these natural products and simple steps to your self-peach love routine.
