The breast is one of the most distinguishing and important organs in a woman. It is vital for breastfeeding offspring. However, this organ often gets damaged as a result of certain mistakes women make.
In this article, we are going to be taking a look at 4 things women should avoid doing to their breasts and the consequences attached to it. Check them out below;
1. WAXING HAIR GROWING ON THE NIPPLE AREA
According to experts in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, using a razor or shaving stick around the nipple area can lead to infection.
Believe it or not, hairs can grow just about anywhere on your body including your breasts. Also, tweezing, pulling or waxing hair from that highly sensitive area may cause inflammation, irritation or ingrown hairs,” says Dr Miller. You might also develop reactive lymphoid nodules as well. So it is best to leave tiny hairs growing in that area because it is completely natural.
2. WEARING A VERY TIGHT BRAZIER
This is one of the most common mistakes women make. It might make your breast look bigger but might have dare side effects.
Apart from making you feel uncomfortable, tight bras can cause skin irritation, stop the flow of blood around the area, rashes and a feeling of suffocation.
Rather than wearing a tight bra, buy new bras to replace the tight and old ones. Also, try as much as possible to know your bra size.
3. NOT MOISTURISING THE BREAST ADEQUATELY
Another mistake most women make is not moisturizing their breast making it dry. This habit is bad and unhealthy because the skin on the breast is thin and sensitive. When you don’t moisturize, it can lead to itching.
Try as much as possible to moisturize your breast with creams that are rich in hyaluronic acid and cocoa butter.
4. USING DUCT TAPE REGULARLY
Most women often make use of duct tapes when wearing a strapless dress. However, while this might prove to be the solution to the aforementioned issue, it also has an adverse effect.
Duct tapes can irritate your skin and even cause rashes around the nipples.
