All about Summer’s Eve
This blog was done in partnership with Summer’s Eve, but all opinions are my own.
It is summer! As a gynecologist that is when I am most frequently asked about how to stay clean and fresh “down there.” Whether it is running outside, heading from the pool, or running from the gym to work, it seems that summer is the time of year where most people are extra worried about feeling fresh. What I recommend for women not just during the summer, but year-round is tried and true, Summer’s Eve® products. I recommend the Simply Summer’s Eve® Cleansing Wash and Simply Summer’s Eve® Gentle Foaming Wash to use in the shower or tub, as well as their Simply Summer’s Eve® Cleansing Cloths that you can use on the go for a quick refresh!
The reason I recommend these products is that they are safe, hypoallergenic, and free-from dyes, parabens and alcohol. This means simple ingredients and botanical extracts. Your vaginal environment is dependent on keeping both good bacteria and bad bacteria in balance. You want to cleanse your external vaginal area with something that is balanced for a woman’s natural pH. If your pH balance is off yeast may also overgrow leading to a yeast infection. Therefore, it is super important to keep your pH balance in check. Summer’s Eve® has clinically tested the entire product lineup among a sensitive skin population to help ensure its products are safe for your external vaginal area. Just remember that this wash is for external use only! The inside of your vagina is self cleansing! “If that is so then why not use regular body wash???’ you may ask.
Most of today’s body washes are designed to leave a moisturizing residue behind on the skin. This helps you feel smooth and silky. This might feel great on your arms and legs- but to your external vaginal area it can lead to irritation and that not-so-fresh-feeling. Basically, it is just kinda extra! On the other hand, Summer’s Eve® washes are designed to rinse clean away- without stripping natural moisture and without leaving a residue. So pick some up today! There is an awesome Lavender + Chamomile scent out for the summer!!! Learn more about the line with my link here
