Don't you love wearing those cute summer skirts in all kinds of colors? And at the same time hate the chafing that sometimes happens on your inner thighs? And who wants to wear nylons in the summertime? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of wearing lightweight, cute summer skirts?
Well, for those of us with some curvature around the upper thigh area - especially on the inner part of our legs, ahem - here are two ideas for preventing that uncomfortable chafing and bumpiness when your thighs rub together:
1. Wear athletic shorts - like biking shorts - underneath the skirt. Nylon with spandex work best and are very lightweight. There are great styles at various stores that are light, come in different colors, and cost around $19 or less.
2. Use Body Glide! I can't recommend this more - it looks like a deodorant stick but glides right on and prevents chafing like no one's business! Many athletes use it for running or biking. It's not oily or greasy and is odorless. And - double benefit!! - it's great to put on your feet when you wear shoes that rub and create blisters.
Try it out and let us know what works for you!
Dear Skin on my Face,
Why are you doing this to me? You are nice and normal on my cheeks, but darn you, evil T-Zone, for being so...evil! You break out for no reason! I drink gallons of water and still you act this way. What have I done to offend you so? I have tea tree-oiled, hormonally-controlled, exfoliated, antibiotic-ed, blotted, washed, sprayed you with nitrogen, astringented you and I am 24 years old and isn't this supposed to be over with by now?
I don't want to use drugs for stupid acne. I just want my adolescence to be over so I can get rid of you, dumb combination skin! I hope that someone at your quality control department gets this and spreads it around, because I am at a total loss.
With reluctant love,
Lacey
