Do you know the precautions for chest cleaning? Bathing is a daily protective measure for women, but is any cleaning item suitable for the chest? What are the precautions for chest cleaning? Below, the editor will answer for you.
Modern medicine believes that there are sebaceous and apocrine glands on the chest, and the oil on the surface of the chest skin is secreted by the sebaceous glands below the areola.
During pregnancy, the secretion of sebaceous glands increases in women, and the sweat glands on the areola also become enlarged. The chest becomes soft, and the increase in sweat and sebaceous gland secretion also causes surface acidification of the skin, leading to softening of the stratum corneum. At this point, if you always use soap like cleaning products to wash away these secretions from the chest and areola, it is not conducive to women's chest health.
Experts point out that frequent use of soap like cleaning products can wash away keratinocytes on the surface of the skin through mechanical and chemical reactions, promoting cell division and proliferation. If these keratinized cells are constantly removed, it will damage the protective layer on the skin surface, causing swelling of the epidermal layer. This swelling is caused by excessive dryness, adhesion, and cell detachment in the local area of the chest.
If cleaning items such as soap are repeatedly used every night, it is easy to alkalize the local skin of the chest, and the local skin of the chest needs to be covered with a protective layer again, and it takes some time to restore its acidification environment. Soap not only continuously alkalizes the surface of the skin, but also promotes the proliferation of alkaline bacterial communities on the skin, making it difficult for the local acidification of the chest. In addition, washing with soap also removed the substance that protects the local skin lubrication of the chest - oil.
Therefore, to fully maintain local hygiene in the chest, it is best to choose warm water for cleaning.
Chest Health
The development of the breasts during adolescence marks the beginning of maturity in young girls. The raised chest also reflects the unique curvaceous and healthy beauty of a mature female figure. And prepared conditions for future breastfeeding of infants. Therefore, the protection and health care of the chest are the main aspects of female adolescent health. Some phenomena that occur during the development of the chest may cause confusion and unease for young girls, such as whether to wear a bra, underdeveloped breasts, breasts that are too small or too large, uneven breasts on both sides, chest deformities, and chest lumps. Here are the suggestions from healthcare doctors:
(1) Girls should not have their breasts tied up
Girls in the stage of adolescent development should never wear tight underwear. Chest tightening has many harmful effects on the development and health of young girls. Firstly, during chest girdling, the heart, lungs, and large blood vessels are compressed, which affects the normal development of internal organs in the body. Secondly, chest tightening can affect respiratory function. Under normal circumstances, the coordination and coordination of chest breathing and abdominal breathing can ensure normal gas exchange in the human body; Chest tightening affects chest breathing, preventing the chest from fully expanding, causing lung tissue to not fully stretch, reducing the amount of air inhaled, and ultimately affecting the overall oxygen supply. Thirdly, restraining the chest compresses the chest, causing poor blood circulation, resulting in blood stasis in the lower part of the chest, causing pain, chest distension and discomfort, and even causing chest collapse, poor chest development, affecting fitness, and also causing difficulties in breastfeeding in the future. Therefore, we need to repeatedly promote the harm of breast tightening. Girls should be encouraged to inform their mothers about their breast development in order to receive necessary health guidance in a timely manner.
(2) Wear appropriate bras
After the chest development is basically finalized, it is necessary to guide young girls to timely choose and wear suitable bras. A girl's chest development is basically fixed around the age of 15, but individual differences are significant. Generally, a soft ruler can be used to measure from the upper edge of the chest to the lower edge. When the distance between the upper and lower edges is greater than 16 centimeters, a bra can be worn.
Wearing a bra has the following benefits: firstly, it shows a woman's physical beauty; Secondly, support the chest to prevent sagging; Thirdly, it can prevent blood stasis in the lower part of the chest from causing chest diseases; Fourthly, it reduces local pressure on the heart, promotes smooth blood circulation, and is beneficial for the development of lactation; Fifth, reducing chest vibrations caused by sports or physical labor can also prevent chest injuries; Sixth. Protect the chest from scratches or pain; In autumn and winter, bras also have a warming effect. In short, bras are not only a form of decoration but also a must-have for women as a key protector. Due to the different body shapes and chest sizes of young girls, it is necessary to choose a bra with the appropriate size, and wear it to feel comfortable and without any tightness. It is also necessary to change bras at any time based on the changes in weight and obesity during physical development and growth. Never blindly pursue physical beauty and force yourself to wear unsuitable bras. The texture of the bra should be soft and absorbent. Wash and change frequently to maintain cleanliness. Take off the bra when sleeping at night. Wearing bras should cultivate a habit. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, persist until old age.
(3) Chest hygiene
Adolescent girls may experience chest pain and itching before and after their menstrual cycle due to endocrine reasons. At this time, girls should not casually squeeze or pick their breasts to avoid causing a tear and infection. Regularly clean the chest, areola, and breasts. Because the areola has many glands that secrete oil like substances, it can protect the skin, but it can also be contaminated with dirt, cause redness, and swelling. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the chest clean and hygienic.
(4) If the chest is found to be too small or too large, unevenly developed on both sides, underdeveloped, deformed, or lumped, there is no need to panic. If these situations are found, one can promote the development of chest muscles through bodybuilding exercises, making the chest appear plump; The second is to undergo appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Girls need to have a well-developed body and complete sexual maturity to determine whether their breasts are underdeveloped. Do not make premature conclusions.
