There’s no escaping the wrath of the scorching Indian summer. We experience it the moment we step out of the house or give our air conditioners a break. From melting our makeup away and turning our scalp greasy to causing breakouts, the side-effects of the heat can drive us up the wall. And it doesn’t stop there!
Unfortunately, the heat doesn’t even spare our sensitive genitals. In fact, the damage down there is more severe. That’s because the labia and pubic mound have special kind of sweat glands called the apocrine glands. These are more responsive and active than the sweat pores on the rest of the body. So, in the summer, they can create a whole sweat swamp between your legs. Combined with dust, germs, and grime, it can lead to bacterial and fungal growth in the intimate area. The result? Itchiness, irritation, redness, and worse still–infections like bacterial vaginosis!
However, you can prevent the heat damage by keeping your intimate area clean and fresh. Here’s how:
Use An Intimate Wash
Washing your genitals with water isn’t enough to remove the sweat and dirt buildup. According to the guidelines by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, it’s important to use a gentle cleanser to clean the area at least once a day. We suggest you try Sirona’s Refreshing Intimate Wash for the job. Made with natural ingredients like jojoba, olive, and tea tree oil, it can remove dirt and germs without rendering your genital skin dry.
Freshen Up With A Mist
You know how those facial mists can make you feel fresh instantly? Well, Sirona’s Refreshing Toner has the same effect on your privates. 2-3 spritzes of this product can refresh your intimate area, soothe any irritation and redness, and make you feel oh-so-fresh. Plus, it’s made with natural ingredients like witch hazel and sea buckthorn. So, it’s super gentle on the sensitive genital skin and doesn’t disturb its natural acidic mantle.
Fight Pigmentation & Dark Spots
The sweat secreted by the apocrine glands contains protein. When this protein is broken down by the bacteria in your intimate region, it can lead to skin darkening and foul odour. However, massaging 2-3 drops of Sirona’s Depigmenting Intimate Serum into your skin can fight pigmentation and dark spots. Packed with the goodness of kojic acid, niacinamide, and Tasmanian pepper fruit, it can give you an even-toned skin without causing any irritation or redness down there.
Nourish Your Skin
Moisturising your genital skin can kill two birds with a stone. It can create a barrier on the genital skin and protect it from bacterial or fungal action. Secondly, it can hydrate your skin and prevent dryness and itchiness. You can count on Sirona’s Moisturising Intimate Oil to do the job. With ingredients like coconut, chamomile, sea buckthorn, and rosehip oil, it can nourish your genital skin without making it greasy. It can also help prevent chafing and rashes.
Peeps, your intimate area deserves more attention, especially during the warmer months. So, bag these four products to protect it from the scorching heat. Happy summer!
