Steps to Build an Intimate Care Routine
Step 1: Start with a pH-Balanced Cleanser
- Use gentle, microbiome-friendly washes designed for intimate areas (pH 3.5-5.5 for women, 5.5-7.5 for men).
- Avoid harsh soaps and body washes that strip natural moisture.
- Look for hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.
Step 2: Exfoliate Gently (1-2 Times a Week)
- Use mild exfoliants (enzymes or lactic acid) to prevent ingrown hairs and dead skin buildup.
- Avoid scrubbing too hard, as it can cause irritation.
Step 3: Hydrate & Moisturize
- Apply a light, fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent dryness and chafing.
- Choose formulas with ceramides, coconut oil, or shea butter for hydration.
Step 4: Wear Breathable Fabrics
- Tight, synthetic underwear traps moisture, leading to bacterial overgrowth.
- Opt for cotton or moisture-wicking materials for daily wear.
Step 5: Prioritize Post-Intimacy Hygiene
- Urinating after intimacy helps prevent UTIs.
- Rinse with warm water and a pH-balanced wash to remove sweat and bacteria.
- Pat dry with a soft towel, avoiding excessive rubbing.
