When intimate hygiene provides us with daily, balanced and correct care for the most delicate skin of our body, we actually protect ourselves from unwanted infections and irritations in the intimate area. Intimate hygiene must be in accordance with the natural chemical balance of the skin in the intimate area. The natural microflora of the vagina contains Lactobacillus bacteria, which have the functions of producing lactic acid. Lactic acid is key to maintaining a low pH of the vaginal mucosa. This acidic environment protects a woman’s genitals from infection and redness. Various factors can disturb the acid-alkaline balance of the vagina, hence the balance of microorganisms, part of the vaginal microflora, which is why we have to constantly take care of its maintenance and restoration. The intimate area has a pH of 4.6, an indicator that is lower than that of the rest of the skin. This specificity of the intimate area makes it necessary to avoid the use of ordinary soap or shower gel, which destroy the acid protection of the vagina and affect the natural balance in its microflora. The use of strong detergents to maintain intimate hygiene damages the protective layer of the mucous membrane, which leads to its drying and causes itching. For the personal comfort and health of our most delicate skin, it is necessary to select the detergent specially. NIVEA Intimate products do not contain dyes or alkaline soaps.
