Is Feminine Wash for Teens, Too?

Image
A pH-balanced feminine wash is a blessing for women after an intense workout, a hot day, or intimate time. But do teen girls need a feminine wash? If so, what’s the gold standard? Let’s dive into teen feminine care so you can help the teen girl in your life navigate vulva and vaginal microbiome care and learn when to use an unscented feminine wash . What Is a Feminine Wash? A feminine wash is a pH-balanced cleanser used on the external intimate parts, including the labia, clitoris, vaginal opening, and surrounding areas. Let’s not mince words here, because the details matter: The word external is important, as is an understanding of this more private area. Formulas for this area should be gentle, often unscented, and support the vaginal microbiome and natural, more acidic pH levels. Vaginas are self-cleaning. Women and teens do not need to cleanse the inside of their vaginal canal and should not use artificial fragrances or toxic ingredients anywhere near their vulva and ...

Mastering Body Care: pH Balance

Image
You thought you left chemistry in the classroom, but it’s a major part of skin and body care. The pH of a product should be compatible with the skin’s natural pH. It helps to reduce the risk of irritation and support more balanced, comfortable skin. You’ve probably realized this matters for your complexion, but which other areas need pH-balanced products? Mouth Your mouth has its own unique microbiome, which is usually taken into account in toothpaste formulas. A more alkaline toothpaste is ideal, especially for women, who need that pH level to combat tooth decay and sensitivity from a more acidic environment. Both men and women benefit from using a natural toothpaste containing baking soda. You rinse your mouth afterward, so it should not feel disrupted by the pH difference. Underarms Unlike the mouth, your underarms need to maintain a slightly acidic pH. A pH-balanced deodorant with skin-friendly ingredients is the best option to reduce the risk of irritation and disc...

Teens know what they like, and that’s what they want! The good news is that parents often share some of their teens’ enthusiasm about certain things. For example, when it comes to deodorants, everyone agrees on what makes a good one: Effective formulas with non-toxic ingredients are widely valued. Parents can enjoy supporting their teens’ standards, and teens can feel reassured knowing their parents are there to help them find a great option, especially since finding the best deodorant can sometimes involve a bit of research. Even among natural deodorants, not every formula is created equal. A teen’s choice should involve more than the words “natural” and “clean.” It’s time to get into the benchmarks for the best non-toxic teen deodorants. Scents Scent plays a big role in whether a teen uses any product, especially deodorant. If they don’t like the first scent of a clean deodorant brand, it’ll be tough to get them to try another one. So, make sure they’re involved in the...

How Many Clean Deodorants Should You Own?

Image
How many deodorants do you own? You have one you apply when you get out of the shower, but do you keep one in your purse (or your gym bag or at your partner’s house)? When you switch to a clean deodorant with non-toxic ingredients, you might wonder if you can keep your old deodorants or whether you need more than one. Today, you get the answers you seek.  At the Start If you’re just starting to use a magnesium based deodorant , you should only keep the one until you know it works for you. Whether it’s a new formula or a new scent, it’s easy to get excited and go all-in, but don’t rush things. Keep the one, test it out, and see how you like the formula. It’s like a trial period. During this time, don’t use any deodorant containing aluminum or baking soda, as these can interfere with the natural pH of your underarms. A Little After That Once you know you’re going to love using aluminum-free deodorant and make the change permanent (Yay!), you might decide to pick up another. You can ...

If you’re getting deodorant from a clean deodorant brand with recyclable packaging, that regular waste bin is no bueno. It should go in the recycling bin. Clean deodorant brands may use recyclable packaging for several reasons. It shows that the people behind the brand put thought into their products. They want to do more than mask body odor. They Put Thought Behind the Formula Clean deodorant brands put a lot of thought into their formulas. They have to consider alternatives to conventional ingredients and set their product apart from other non-toxic formulas. Baking soda free deodorant goes a step further, eliminating a “clean” but potentially irritating ingredient to provide a formula that nourishes and supports a balanced microbiome for less body odor and a more conscious lifestyle change.
