In the care of the female body, intimate hygiene isone of the most important components. It deserves special attention, because intimate area care has a direct impact on the reproductive function of a woman's body. Few people know that the protective barrier of the intimate area is subject to many stress factors. It can be weakened by: pregnancy and breastfeeding, menopause and menstruation, hormonal imbalances, taking medications and contraceptives, and even intimacy. The protective function of the intimate area is weakened even more by improper hygiene, which cannot be done with soap and regular shower gels. The thing is that the pH of a woman's intimate area is 4.6, and the pH of tap water and soap is 7 and 9, respectively. Imbalance of pH from the use of improperly selected care products leads to an increased risk of infection and a decrease in the protective barrier. That is why, when choosing intimate hygiene care products, it is important to choose products containing a substance with a pH close to the intimate area, for example, lactic acid. Taking these requirements into account, NIVEA experts have created SENSITIVE Intimate Hygiene Gel with lactic acid and aloe vera extract, which will soothe and moisturize sensitive skin.
