How to choose a deodorant for intimate hygiene?

Deodorant for intimate hygiene is designed to solve the problem of a specific odor that occurs in the most delicate areas of the human body. Today, special female and male versions of perfume and hygiene products are produced, masking aromas that appear with increased physical activity or overheating of the body. They take into account the peculiarities of the pH of the skin, are hypoallergenic and can have both an exclusively deodorant effect and a complex effect on the intensity of the glands.

Excessive sweating is especially common in the summer or winter months, when the body overheats under warm clothing and the glands work more intensively. Before choosing a female deodorant for the intimate area, it is imperative to understand the causes of sweating... This may be due to the peculiarities of the anatomy or hormonal imbalance, as well as to the individual characteristics of the organism. In any case, excessive sweating causes some discomfort and requires a solution to the problem.

The main task that a deodorant for intimate hygiene solves is to eliminate unpleasant odors and improve the overall level of cleanliness and freshness of the skin in the genital area.... Most of the formulations on the market have only a cosmetic effect and do not fight perspiration as such. But there are also full-fledged antiperspirants that can regulate the degree of intensity of the work of the glands.

Since deodorant for the intimate area has a rather delicate area of ​​application, the requirements for its quality and properties are also quite high. A neutral level of acidity is mandatory, since the microflora of the genital organs is very sensitive to its change and can react to outside interference with manifestations of dysbiosis. The absence of alcohol is also an important feature of such products; silver ions or lactic acid act here as an antibacterial component.
