Article: The more water you drink, the less salt and minerals your sweat will contain. Drink at least 4-5 glasses of water a day to keep your skin looking and feeling great. You’re much less likely to chafe in the future if you stay well hydrated. If you get sick of boring old water, add a slice of lime or lemon to the water! Keep the temperature in your home cool enough so that you aren’t sweating. Avoid going out if it’s extremely hot outside. When you do sweat, brush the area gently with a dry, clean cloth. Avoiding sweat and keeping your skin dry is a great way to prevent chafing.  If your skin is so dry that it’s uncomfortable, use a cream or lotion to add some healthy moisture. Sweat can make chafing worse because it is relatively high in minerals that can irritate the skin even further. After sweating, remove your clothes, rinse off in the shower, and dry your skin completely. You have a higher chance of getting chafed skin if you’re overweight, especially when it comes to the thighs. Exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet of grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. The best way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you are consuming, so limit portion size and move around as much as possible.  Aim to eat healthy, well-balanced meals and avoid the fast food and sugary drinks. If you do drink a ton of sugary drinks, replacing soda and sports drinks with water is a great way to shed a little weight without breaking out the exercise equipment.
