Itching through your sports pants

Do you ever suffer from itching on your legs after exercise? Your sports pants could be the cause.

Many sports pants are made of polyester. The fabric absorbs sweat on your skin. If you keep your sports shorts on for a while after exercise, then sweat residue can in some cases even cause bacterial acne. You can prevent this by wearing shorts that are not too tight and take them off immediately when you are finished. Does it bother you a lot? Then you can powder your legs and buttocks a little with talcum powder before exercise, so that the sebum in the powder absorbs your sweat.
