Slivers on Breasts ?

by invuqt, Mar 11, 2007 12:00AM
Latley i have noticed little hairs on my breasts, they arent exactly hairs i guess, but they are simliar to slivers. I can easily take them out, but their are far too many. They only go on my breasts, not on the nipple area. They cause bumps where the root goes in and it kind of feels like the skin of a chicken after its been plucked but smaller.
Anyways, im not sure what this is, and ive tryed many google searches. I have a gut feeling its some sort of clogged pores? but i dont think so. How do i get rid of these?

Question:  Do you wear a bra constantly?  I ask this because your skin needs to breathe.  Let your chest breathe every night by changing into cotton top (with a little spandex in it) when you get home for the evening.  Get rid of the bra every night without fail.  

The key thing to ridding skin of unwanted visitors is to exfoliate!  Exfoliate your whole body in the shower daily.  Since the little fuzz-like hairs are easy to remove as you say, exfoliation is the key.  No need to purchase a special exfoliating scrub, just use a Spa Cloth daily in the shower (check them out on EBay).

As we all know, breast skin is quite sensitive.  It’s one of those areas where we are apt to get stretch marks, sagging, and some dryness.  Although you don't want to use any harsh chemicals, moisturizing is also important.  For moisturizing I recommend using (I know it may sound strange) a little Vaseline on your chest and neck area daily.  Just put a dime-size amount in the palm of your hands, rub your palms together and apply.  It's great for keeping the skin supple.

Hope this helps!  I’m pretty sure it will.
