i just started playing lax and the chin strap (seems like a generic plastic material) causes a lot of irritation on my chin made get a few bad pimples. this prob happens because my chin sweats like crazy when it is on. anyway to modify the chin strap to reduce the sweat?
Lax helmet chin strap - skin irritation/acne?
This is what I do with my Kevlar strap:
You have to wash it at least once a week (when I am in the field I make sure it gets a good washing to break up all the dirt and sweat and grime)
Before practice, try to place a small pad around your chin, and place your helmet on over it. It should provide a good cushion between your chin and the chinstrap.
Before you place your strap on, apply a thin thin thin coat of lotion, preferably an unscented one that has aloe vera in it, around your chin. Then place the pad, and then don your helmet.
I hope this works for you!! It works great for me.
Reply:You could insert a cloth or chin pad. However, make sure you wash it or rub alcohol over it after every use. This will get rid of the oil and dirt and not work it into your skin.
Reply:go to a sport store and get a better chin strap. That generic crap will cause more problems in the future than just pimples....
