How to Take Care of Your Breasts

1. Perform Regular Breast Self-Exams

2. Maintain Proper Hygiene

✔ Wash daily with mild soap and warm water to remove sweat and bacteria.
✔ Keep the under-breast area dry to prevent rashes or fungal infections.
✔ Use moisturizing creams or oils to keep skin soft and hydrated.

3. Massage Your Breasts (For Circulation & Firmness)
