Your intimate area is one of the most delicate parts of your body and it deserves care that’s just as thoughtful as the products you use on your face or hair. While many women focus on general hygiene, fewer know that your external intimate area (the vulva) needs gentle, pH 3.8 care to stay healthy and comfortable.
The key? A feminine wash that is formulated at pH 3.8 to work with your body, not against it.
🌸 What Is the Intimate Area and Why Is It Different?
Let’s be clear: when we say intimate area, we’re referring to the vulva which is the external skin around the vaginal opening.
This area:
- Contains delicate skin and mucosal tissue
- Is home to beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus)
- Can be sensitive to harsh cleansers or products
Because the vulva is exposed to sweat, discharge, menstruation, and tight clothing, it’s important to cleanse it regularly BUT with the right kind of product.
⚖️ Why pH 3.8 Matters for External Intimate Care
Your skin’s pH is usually around 5.5, but the intimate area has a more acidic pH, typically between 3.5 and 4.5. This lower pH helps:
- Maintain the balance of good bacteria
- Prevent irritation, odor, and infection
- Keep the external skin barrier strong and moisturized
Maintaining the correct external pH of 3.8 helps to protect the natural defence barrier and promote everyday freshness.
What Happens When the pH is Disrupted?
Using regular soap or body wash that ranges from pH of 8 to 10 can upset this delicate balance. This disruption can lead to:
- Vaginal dryness
- Itching or irritation
- Unpleasant odor
- Increased risk of infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections
Try: Dermally IntimCare Foam Wash pH 3.8
Gently cleanse the feminine intimate area with Glycogen & Lactic Acid to support lactobacillus growth which helps to preserve its natural balance and overall comfort.
