A skincare routine for our booty? Yes, it’s definitely a real thing! Skincare for our entire body should be important to us. After all, it is the largest (external) organ humans have.
Not only do we like our skin to look and feel good, but it has a couple of important roles. Our skin’s primary function is to protect us from external factors, including:
- Temperature
- Bacteria
- Chemicals
One of our skin’s natural defense weapons is that it contains natural secretions designed to kill bacteria. The pigment melanin in our skin provides its own chemical pigment defense to protect us against ultraviolet light that damages skin cells.
Common Cheeky Skin Issues
Skin problems aren’t partial to one specific area of the body– from our face to our back and our booty. Let’s talk about a few of the main issues that tend to target those sweet ‘cheeks.’
- Butt Pimples - Acne - Folliculitis
- Sagging Skin and Cellulite
- Chicken Skin or Goose Flesh
- Keratosis Pilaris
Complete Booty Skincare Routine
The best way to target any of the above skin issues and promote overall booty skincare is to create a specialized routine that matches your conditions and needs. Below you’ll find the basics, which you can add to or incorporate any special care you require or prefer.
Cleanse
While the invigorating scents are tantalizing, one of the more essential things we should look for in any cleansing agent is its antibacterial properties. Giving our bottom a complete cleanse using an excellent antibacterial soap will eliminate the bacteria and dirt buildup accumulated throughout the day. This is the first step to clearer and smoother cheeks.
Exfoliate
With your favorite loofah in hand, proceed with a good scrubbing. Exfoliating ALL of our skin helps remove dead skin cells while keeping our pores clean. Slow, circular motions in the buttocks region help stimulate the blood flow, which targets cellulite and saggy skin. For those with ‘chicken skin,’ alternate with chemical exfoliants.
Moisturize
Our entire being requires hydration, which is vital for everything, including our butt, which can get irritated and dry throughout the day. Using an oil-free cream to moisturize our bottom will help keep our cheeks acne-free while keeping them smooth.
Masks
Yes, botty sheet masks are a thing. Using a booty mask a couple of times a week freshens the skin on our bottom. Choose a mask that hits your target needs!
That butt skincare routine may sound like the basic facial skincare routine, and that’s because it is. As we mentioned earlier, our entire body is covered in skin, and it all needs to be appropriately cared for and maintained. Whether someone will potentially see those sweet cheeks or not, our butt's skin health is and should be something we focus more on.
Why not reap the advantages of a good-looking booty that’s healthy to boot? Treat your booty right and make those small investments into booty creams and exfoliants as you would for your face.
