Do women really need intimate hygiene products

According to the doctor, women can exist without the advertised products, just as they did before they were available.

"You know, we have somewhere between marketing and necessity, to be honest, right? Back in the day, we used to wash our faces with water and didn't use anything else. Now I want to see a young girl who doesn't use toners, creams, or anything else. You may ask me if we can exist without it. I will tell you: "Of course we can." But you have to ask yourself: do I want to exist without it?" Shupeniuk replied.

"Because I'm used to having healthy, beautiful skin. It is not a fact that you will have unhealthy and ugly skin if you do not use all this stuff. But if you have a problem, you will use special cosmetics for it. And it will be absolutely justified for you," the expert added.

The gynecologist noted that now there are even tips to "wash with laundry soap".

If we are talking about a woman who has problems, allergic reactions, age-related changes, dermatitis, or bacterial vaginosis, there are hygiene products that allow you to maintain this in a certain state - then it is necessary.

The doctor noted that the skin of the face is very similar in structure to the skin of the vulva.

"That's why wrinkles and acne can also occur there. This should also be monitored not only for aesthetics but also for the health of the skin," the expert summarized.
