2. The Back and Shoulder Blades

Reduced flexibility can make it harder to reach your back. This means sweat and d.ead skin cells can accumulate. Use a long-handled sponge or soft brush to clean this area thoroughly.

3. Under the Breasts and Skin Folds

Moisture can easily get trapped in skin folds, particularly under the breasts, around the abdomen, or between the thighs. This creates the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi. Wash gently, dry completely, and consider using a light, fragrance-free powder to keep the area dry.

4. Behind the Knees

This area is often forgotten, yet sweat and bacteria can collect here, especially in warm weather or after exercise. A quick wash and rinse can help prevent irritation and keep the skin healthy.

5. The Navel (Belly Button)

The belly button can trap sweat, lint, and bacteria. Whether you have an “innie” or “outie,” gently clean it with a soft cloth or cotton swab dipped in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry.
