Feminine wash is a soap or cleanser specifically formulated for use on the vulva and external genital areas, designed to be gentle and non-irritant; often tested by gynecologists.
Women use intimate washes to comply with cultural expectations of an idealized clean vulva, even though their vagina is self-cleaning. But too frequent washing may lead to irritation and an imbalance of healthy bacteria.
pH Balancing Cleanser
As part of an effective skincare regime, pH balancing cleanser should be the starting point. Its main benefit lies in helping to minimize odor and excess oil without overdrying or stripping skin; in addition, it supports an optimal microflora balance that forms an optimal topical barrier.
Although your skin naturally has an acidic pH level between 5 and 6, feminine cleansers designed for intimate areas (vulva) should have an ideal range between 5.5-6.5 to maintain balance in terms of wetness and dryness for healthy intimate skin. The ideal feminine cleaners help achieve this optimal environment through maintaining this ideal pH balance, and preventing excessive dryness to promote overall intimate health.
pH balanced cleansers can also help reduce fine lines and wrinkles by maintaining a healthy acid mantle, helping prevent pore congestion, breakouts in acne-prone skin and slowing signs of aging by supporting natural barrier function. In addition, they allow better absorption of serums and moisturizers, increasing effectiveness. Using gentle soap for cleaning the vagina also protects against infections – always wash from front to back, not using bath loofahs or sponges which may harbor bacteria.
Deodorant
Deodorant helps you stay fresh all day by protecting against bacteria in your sweat glands that produce odour-causing smells, making you feel confident and prepared to face whatever comes your way throughout the day. Making deodorant part of your morning ritual helps ensure you can face each challenge confidently and with optimism.
Feminine washes are gentle cleansing formulas designed to keep the outer vulva clean. Used daily without experiencing irritation, these washes should contain soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or chamomile to provide soothing comfort while being free from sulfates, phthalates, parabens or synthetic fragrances so you can use it without worry.
Regular soap can alter the delicate pH balance in your vulva and lead to itching, irritation or imbalance; feminine washes have been developed specifically to preserve this delicate equilibrium while soothing itching and reducing odor. The best options are glycerin- and soap-free solutions recommended by dermatologists to keep sensitive vulvas healthy and happy.
