How to Prevent Skin Chafe During Yoga and Pilates Practice
As a yoga and Pilates enthusiast, I've often experienced skin chafe during my practice. To prevent this discomfort, I found that wearing moisture-wicking, snug-fitting clothing can help reduce friction between the skin and fabric. Additionally, applying a chafing cream or powder before exercising can create a protective barrier on the skin. It's also essential to stay hydrated and maintain a regular skincare routine to keep the skin healthy. Lastly, mastering proper alignment and technique can minimize unnecessary rubbing and chafing during the practice.
