Everyone knows the importance of maintaining a good skincare regime. From facial cleanser to toner to moisturiser to serum…the list goes on. But do you put as much thought and effort into your intimate health? The truth is that most women (and men) don’t actually know how important looking after their intimate skin is, and don’t feel comfortable talking about it. Understanding and caring for your sensitive intimate area means that uncomfortable symptoms can be avoided, and you can experience an enhanced sense of sexual health and wellbeing.
The team at Cremamia have put together 3 simple steps to your healthiest vagina:
1. Wash or wipe– Using an intimate wash helps to keep the pH levels balanced and protects from infections and inflammation. The optimum pH of a woman’s intimate area is 3.8pH – 4.5pH; however, this balance can be easily altered by the use of non-pH balanced intimate products, which can result in thrush, bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections.
CremaMia offers a beautiful, lightly scented Discreet Intimate Wash or Discreet Intimate Wipes specially formulated for use in the intimate areas of your body. Acacia and chamomile act as anti-inflammatories, while calendula and coconut oil moisturise and protect the skin. Used daily, it leaves you feeling refreshed and clean, balancing your pH levels and keeping your delicate areas hygienic.
2. Moisturise - Vaginal and vulva dryness is very common, with around 70% of post-menopausal women and 15% of pre-menopausal women affected by it. It is caused by a drop in oestrogen levels which are affected by your monthly cycle, stress, hormone changes (pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause), some medications, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, excess alcohol and obesity. Symptoms include a stinging/burning sensation, discomfort during sex, and can result in a higher pH leading to thrush and a condition called atrophic vaginitis.
