Sensitivity

The skin in the intimate area is different than the skin on the rest of your body. The skin around your vulva is much thinner and more sensitive than other areas, which means it can be easily irritated. When removing the hair, you are also removing the body’s natural defense.That's why it's important to use products that are specifically designed for this area — like our Beauty Below Love Lips mousse.

PH Levels

The pH levels in the intimate area are different than the rest of your body, and this can cause problems if you use products that are not designed for this area. For example, using a regular soap can actually disrupt the natural pH balance and lead to itching, burning, and infections.

Sweat and Bacteria

The main function for the hair down there is to keep bugs out and to absorb sweat. If you are removing the hair, it is important to maintain good hygiene habits and to use quality products that help to prevent a build-up of sweat and bacteria. Beauty Below’s V-Spray is the perfect intimate refresher to combat sweat and odor.

Ingrown Hairs

In women of color, the hair down there can also be more prone to ingrown hairs. This is because the coils of the hair are more likely to curl back towards the skin,, which makes it easy for them to get trapped under the skin. That's why it's important to use products like our She Shave medicated shave mousse and Smooth Skin ingrown hair serum ,and Even Out pads to smooth and fade ingrown areas. Once an ingrown hair has formed, melanin rich skin is also more prone to develop dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Our Even Out pads help to smooth and fade the effects of ingrown hairs.

As you can see, there are a few reasons why specific care and self-care products for women are needed to remove hair down there and keep the skin healthy and clean.
