The right daily actions to prevent inconvenience
The preventive actions to be taken
– The ideal in terms of intimate hygiene is to practice 1 to 2 external toilets – vulva and region around the anus – per day with a care specially adapted to this area, such as Soin Lavant Doux Saforelle. The excess of intimate toilets could weaken the genital area, by altering the hydrolipidic film on the surface of the skin, and therefore lead to a possible imbalance of the flora. If you feel the need to wash yourself after each bowel movement or sexual intercourse, you can use Saforelle Intimate Wipes which provide comfort and freshness, without altering the hydrolipidic film of the skin.
– The intimate area must maintain correct hydration for optimum comfort, and this is all the more true in the case of vulvovaginal dryness. Moisturizing products such as Saforelle Ultra Moisturizing Cleansing Care are therefore recommended. Enriched with aloe vera, it is the ideal daily intimate care!
Actions to avoid
– Avoid washing with “classic” soaps or shower gels as much as possible.
– Vaginal douches are to be avoided because they alter the vaginal mucosa and cause an imbalance. In addition, the use of an antiseptic for personal hygiene is not recommended because it causes an imbalance of the intimate flora, the natural shield against infections. Everything to be avoided!
The right actions on a daily basis in case of inconvenience
To do
– The germ responsible for vulvovaginal mycosis – Candida albicans – rather develops in an acid environment. This is why it is better to favor a treatment with a slightly alkaline pH, in addition to a treatment, such as Ultra Gentle Cleansing Foam. Its foam texture, particularly light and airy, prevents unpleasant friction in the event of irritation. This treatment can become the daily treatment, after an episode of vulvovaginal mycosis. Its alkalinity will thus help limit the proliferation of fungi responsible for mycosis.
– In the event of intimate dryness, the ideal is to use daily a particularly moisturizing treatment such as Saforelle Ultra Moisturizing Cleansing Care, as we said previously. But if the feeling of dryness persists, you can use a moisturizer. and soothing like the Saforelle Soothing Cream. It will relieve the feelings of discomfort of sensitive, dry or irritated skin thus making it possible to limit the number of intimate toilets that you would be tempted to do to relieve yourself (and which would make the problem worse)! If the problem persists, we advise you to consult a healthcare professional who can advise you.
– Unusual discharge and vaginal odor are possibly due to an imbalance of the vaginal microbial flora. It is the latter – when it is in good health – that protects the vagina from possible infections. It is therefore essential to preserve it on a daily basis by using an intimate care such as Gentle Cleansing Care which will not be aggressive for the vaginal flora. If the odors and the losses persist, the cause must be investigated and to do so, consult a health professional.
Not to do:
– Avoid washing the intimate area as much as possible with antiseptic products on a daily basis. You might be tempted to use them in case of inconvenience “to kill germs”, but it is also your protective flora that you would destroy. To be avoided absolutely!
– Do not use scented sanitary pads or intimate deodorants. They contain agents that are often too aggressive for the intimate area, and which could therefore accentuate the inconvenience.
