Intimate hygiene for women: which product to choose for gentle and natural care?
Because your intimate care deserves all our expertise, Corine de Farme shares its valuable advice for respectful feminine hygiene and guides you to the essential question: which intimate hygiene product for women is ideal for your well-being?
Why should women pay special attention to their intimate hygiene?
The vaginal microbiota is particularly sensitive. Its balance is very delicate. Therefore, cleansing and moisturizing care for the intimate area should always be chosen with the utmost care to avoid irritation, dryness, itching, allergies, and infections.
Indeed, the skin of the intimate area is very different from the rest of the body. More sensitive, thinner, more humid, and with a slightly more acidic pH, it reacts differently to applied products.
Classic soaps and scented shower gels should therefore be avoided for the sake of your intimate health.
Which ingredients should you prioritize and avoid to care for your vaginal flora?
To minimize the risk of discomfort as much as possible, always check the ingredient label of your product, whether it’s for hygiene, intimate care, or cosmetics. Natural ingredients guarantee a minimized risk of allergies, and if the formula is labeled ORGANIC, that’s a win.
For example, the key ingredients Corine de Farme, aloe vera, chamomile, calendula, or witch hazel are all particularly gentle and valued for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
A physiological pH around 4.5 and natural oils like jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil perfectly complement vegetable glycerin to hydrate and protect your skin without damaging it.
On that note, enriched with cherry blossom extract, our feminine intimate wash gel is certified ORGANIC. A safe and effective option for all skin types, even sensitive ones.
Conversely, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, etc.), alcohol, and artificial colorants should absolutely be avoided.
How to choose your feminine intimate wash gel?
Beyond a healthy composition like that of the Certified Organic Gentle Intimate Wash Gel by Corine de Farme, you can also choose your care product based on its properties suited to your skin’s specific needs or the stage of your life.
Some intimate gels are developed to boost hydration for dry and irritated mucous membranes. Others are particularly soothing for sensitive skin. Still others can be used daily without disrupting the natural balance of the area. It all comes down to the formulation.
Also, for all crucial feminine periods—pregnancy, postpartum, and every month during your period—there are 100% suitable intimate gels enriched with targeted ingredients.
For a good intimate hygiene routine: Corine de Farme’s advice
First, use your Corine de Farme care product every day during your shower to gently cleanse your intimate area without scrubbing.
Next, avoid washing too frequently and ban scented or alcohol-based wipes, which can irritate this delicate area of your anatomy. As for vaginal douching, not only does it disrupt the vaginal flora, but it also increases your risk of infections.
Diet also plays a crucial role in your intimate well-being. Think, for example, of the probiotics in plain yogurt. Finally, when it comes to underwear, always choose organic cotton for its softness and breathability.
Thus, feminine intimate hygiene revolves around different factors, all equally important for your comfort, with the top priority being the choice of a gentle cleansing product suited to your sensitivity.
