How to take care of the male intimate area?
The intimate area of men has a series of peculiarities that require special care.
It is an area that, due to humidity and heat, can present problems of different kinds, such as bad odors or itching, and that is why it is very important to pay special attention to its care and to specific products for the care of the male intimate area, both genital and anal.
The first thing to consider is the hygiene of the intimate area. As we mentioned above, it is an area that, due to the sweat and humidity that is generated, requires attention to its cleanliness.
The problem is that a conventional bar of soap or a body wash gel may not necessarily be the right products for a man's intimate area.
It must be taken into account that despite the characteristics of this area, direct contact with the penis and testicles means that the intimate hygiene products we use must be as respectful as possible, since a skin problem on an arm or leg (of course, never desired) is not the same as one in an area as sensitive as the intimate zone.
7 Tips for Caring for the Intimate Zone of Men
Therefore, our advice for taking care of your intimate area is :
1. Use a specific intimate soap for the male intimate area. This is to avoid altering the pH of the intimate area, since men have a different pH than women.
2. Try to make sure that your intimate hygiene soap or gel is formulated without sulfates, since sulfate is an agent that can be very aggressive for our skin in the long run, and even more so in the intimate area.
3. Always use a specific cleanser or wash for the intimate area, do not use a generic product. Once in a lifetime, nothing happens, but cleaning regularly with an unsuitable product can unbalance your skin and lead to problems in the long run, which if there is one place we want to avoid, it is precisely in the intimate area.
4. Go to your pharmacy and ask for your men's intimate hygiene gel.
5. Pay special attention to intimate hygiene if you have itching or bad odors. There are different causes for itching, which we discuss in this other article.
6. If your skin already has problems in the intimate area, we recommend that you go to a dermatologist and follow their instructions.
7. If you use any type of depilatory cream, use it very carefully, and above all never exceed the time indicated by the brand of the depilatory cream.
