When it comes to trying out new products or treatments, doesn’t it seem like our face tends to gets the attention over our body? These statistics seem to support that conclusion.
Gillette Venus, a specialist in shaving products, found that 76% of women surveyed in the UK favored their skin over their body in 2021.
That’s changing, though. Maybe it’s because we have more time in the mornings thanks to WFH. Or perhaps it’s the added emphasis on being as healthy as we can – inside and out – amid the pandemic.
For the same reasons, we’ve also seen an increased focus on self-care, and we’re paying more attention to our mental and physical well-being. The first step is to take good care of our skin and bodies, from head to foot.
The vulva microbiome, just like the rest, is a delicate ecosystem that is affected from things like sex and frequent washing.
Dr Liew Hui Min, dermatologist at SOG-HM Liew Skin & Laser Clinic, says: “Caring for your vulva is good for vaginal health. Infections and skin conditions can cause severe discomfort.”
Thankfully, there’s a new wave of personal care products infused with gentle, skin-loving active ingredients to help you feel comfortable and fresh.
