Let's clear something up from the start: your intimate area should not be smelling like a field of lavender. Anyone who tells you that is either trying to sell you some very harmful products or has no understanding of the female body. Vaginas have their own natural smell, and using excessive cleansing products or douches is potentially harmful because it disrupts your pH which can lead to inflammation and an overgrowth of bacteria. Using the right products which gently cleanse while soothing inflammation and respecting the vagina's natural flora is essential to keeping your intimate area healthy and protecting it from damage. That's why I use Apivita's Intimate Care, a range of products specifically designed to naturally respect the pH, natural flora and moisture levels of the intimate area. All of the products in the range are sulfate free and made with ingredients of at least 89% natural origin.
Here's a quick guide which will help you decide which product would work best for you.
For daily, gentle care:
Apivita Intimate Daily is perfect for anyone looking for a gentle wash which will keep the pH levels balanced while maintaining the right moisture levels.
This extremely mild cleanser contains propolis, aloe vera, prebiotics and chamomile extract to soothe and prevent inflammation.
It's made for anyone who is generally healthy and needs a daily maintenance product with a natural anti-odour action for a long-lasting feeling of freshness.
For extra protection:
If you frequently struggle with irritation, itchiness and discomfort then Apivita Intimate Plus is for you.
This cleanser is extremely gentle and contains soothing and balancing ingredients such as propolis, aloe vera and lactic acid, with the addition of boosted chicory root. This ingredient is a natural prebiotic mix proven to soothe irritation and discomfort in the intimate area.
It has a slightly lower pH to balance out the pH of the vagina, which helps in treating and preventing irritation and bacteria overgrowth.
Thanks to its natural anti-odour action, you're guaranteed to feel fresh and comfortable all day long
For treating dryness:
If you are going through menopause or experiencing dryness in the intimate area then Apivita Intimate Lady is what you need.
This gentle, creamy cleanser is designed to provide deep and long-lasting hydration thanks to fermented aloe vera, which is proven to be five times more effective than regular aloe vera in boosting the skin's moisture levels.
It helps to relieve itchiness while maintaining a healthy pH thanks to propolis, lactic acid, rose, geranium and prebiotics.
The reason why I love Apivita is because it provides effective solutions which are inspired by nature and formulated by an expert team of scientists. Not to mention that Apivita uses sustainable packaging and prioritizes sustainability in all aspects of production and distribution.
Intimate hygiene should not be a taboo subject. We all need to take care of ourselves and breaking past the stigma of talking about intimate care is the best way to do that! Please talk to your doctor or a gynecologist if you are experiencing feelings of discomfort or irritation.
