Summer is one of our favorite seasons. Nothing more beautiful than warmth, nights out and the beach. But it is precisely the high temperatures that bring with them some risks to our female health, such as vulvovaginal infections. This is why it is important to pay special attention to intimate hygiene during this season.

Why does summer increase the risk?

The high temperatures and humidity of summer create the perfect environment for the proliferation of microorganisms, collaborating with the growth of bacteria and yeast in the vulvovaginal area.

Furthermore, during the summer we usually wear synthetic garments such as bikinis for long periods and in some cases with the garment wet. These types of fabrics retain moisture in the area, unbalancing the vaginal flora and leaving us vulnerable to possible infections.

How can we prevent these infections?

It is very important to maintain an intimate care routine throughout the year, but we want to emphasize the summer because of what was previously stated.

At Biolube we invite you to try our skintimate: a 3-step routine that will help you keep your pH balanced, protect you and prevent the growth of microorganisms that cause infections.

Furthermore, we cannot forget to stay hydrated and follow a balanced and nutritious diet. This will also help us keep our natural defenses strong.

On the other hand, cotton underwear and light clothing will provide us with good ventilation: the vulva also has to breathe.

If you experience itching, burning or changes in your vaginal discharge, do not hesitate to consult a professional and do not self-medicate.

Crossing the line, summer is a time for enjoyment and that is why we have to take special care to prevent infections. With proper hygiene habits and the use of our products you will fully enjoy the summer as you deserve.
