these treatments rated “excellent” on the Yuka application are perfectly suitable for sensitive skin

Using a classic shower gel for your intimate cleansing is not really ideal! In fact, shower gels often have a pH close to that of the skin, 6.5, while external private parts have a pH of 5.5 a little more acidic (which serves as a natural protective barrier). This is why we recommend using specific cleansing treatments which also contain moisturizing, protective and soothing agents. As a reminder, only the external genital area of ​​the female anatomy (the orifice of the urethra, the vulva, the labia minora and majora, the entrance to the vagina and the anus) should be cleaned. The vagina, for its part, cleans itself thanks to its internal lubricant.

As you will have understood, to take care of your privacy and preserve its balance, it is advisable to use cleansing treatments specially designed for this area. This is all the more necessary if you are crossing a period of hormonal imbalance (pregnancy, menopause) or if you follow certain drug treatments which can promote irritation and disruption of the intimate flora. And to be sure to choose the right product, choose the gentlest possible formulas, whose pH is adapted to the intimate area, and which do not contain certain substances capable of disrupting the balance of the flora by penetrating at the entrance. of the vagina. Here are 4 products that meet all these criteria, and which obtain “excellent” ratings on the Yuka application.
