Bec Judd opens up on shock beauty revealations
The 43-year-old Perth-born Melbourne-based influencer said she has struggled with folliculitis at the top of her thighs after intense Pilates workouts.
'You get sweaty, you exercise, and you leave your activewear on all day,' she said on the Vain-ish podcast she hosts with Jess Roberts.
'And I'm being a type A person. If (the instructors) say do 20, I'll do 30. But then I get sweaty, and then I leave active wear on all day.
'And it was more like top of the thighs. You know, like where the butt cheek meets the top of the thighs. It gets sweaty, and you can get what is it? Folliculitis?'
The mother-of-four then paid a visit to her dermatologist, Ryan De Cruz, asking for help to get rid of 'all these weird bumps'.
'And he's like, it's very, very common in the active wear mum generation,' she said.

Judd also spilled the tea on the time she almost got fired from modelling in Asia due to tanning and was forbidden from going in the sun.
'So I worked in Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong (and) in my modelling contracts, I had to sign a clause saying that I wasn't allowed to tan my skin and I wasn't allowed to go to the beach, and I had to put SPF on and they wanted my skin to be as white as possible.
'I'm Maori. Going out in the sun, I go brown straight away.
Judd continued to say that the 'naughty models' rebelled against their agency only to be threatened with the loss of their jobs.

'We had an official warning they were going to send us back to Australia if we went to the beach again because we were all too tanned and we're missing out on work. Isn't that crazy?'
While still on the tanning topic, Judd and Dr De Cruz shared their thoughts on viral tanning gummies.
'I actually bought the tanning gummies and started eating them, it was weird, they were a neon blue colour,' Judd said.
Dr De Cruz added: 'It's really been glamorised, and as a dermatologist it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
'A whole lot of potential toxic side effects - you just don't want to go there it's a big red flag.'

Home and Away is coming to WA: Hit soap to film in the west this October
Home and Away is heading west for the first-time. Australia's number one television drama will film an 'ambitious, high-stakes storyline' in WA this October. Details are still unknown at this stage, with filming preparations a closely guarded secret. But pre-production is underway for the five special episodes, which will see Home and Away visit this side of the country for the first time in its 37-year history. 'In partnership with Tourism Western Australia, this special Home and Away event will see the show trade the familiar sands of Summer Bay for the vast and varied landscapes of WA,' an official release states. Filming is set to take place 'at several locations' across the State, with producers promising Western Australia will be showcased in all its stunning glory, 'from cosmopolitan Perth to its rugged coastline and expansive red outback.' The WA Government claims the episodes will showcase the State to audiences beyond Australis and New Zealand to almost 50 other international markets. The UK has a strong Home and Away fan base, with 250,000 UK-based viewers per episode, presenting a huge opportunity to promote WA as a tourism destination. Home and Away series producer, Lucy Addario, said the cast and crew were 'beyond excited' to be packing their bags and heading to Perth to begin shooting in two months' time. '(Western Australia's) awe-inspiring beauty, diverse landscapes and sheer scale make it the perfect backdrop for this huge storyline,' she said. 'Working with the Tourism Western Australia team has been an absolute joy and we can't wait for audiences to fall in love with WA like we have.' Tourism Minister Reece Whitby said he was thrilled to welcome the iconic show here. 'Home and Away has been a staple of Australian television for close to 40 years, and this special WA storyline presents a great opportunity to showcase the State to millions of viewers across the country and around the world,' he said. 'When our pristine coastline and diverse tourism experiences are broadcast to homes across the country and overseas next year, we encourage viewers to come and see these spectacular locations for themselves.' Home and Away, which has been on air since 1988, famously films its outside locations at Palm Beach in NSW's northern beaches.

More men should try Pilates, says this Sydney CEO
Dorry Kordahi is chief executive at Swanky Socks, the promotional products supplier DKM and the drink bottle brand Zip+Sip. He lives in Sydney. How did you get into Pilates and how long have you been practising it? I got into Pilates after years of weight training because I wanted a change in my workout method. I'd always known Pilates was a great workout, but when a friend suggested I try it, I brushed it off at first (like most guys do). Eventually, I gave it a go, and was hooked from the first class. That was about two years ago, and I've never looked back.
