Not a good match.Like your face, the vulva has delicate skin. Soap strips away natural oils and harms its protective barrier — leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort.❌ Skip the “feminine washes” and fragranced soaps.✅ Instead: • Warm water is enough • If you really want to use a cleanser: gentle cleansers I recommend: Cetaphil or CeraVe (unscented)Less is more when it comes to vulvar care. Treat your vulva like you treat your face — gentle, not harsh.#WomensHealth #OBGYN #PelvicHealth #VulvaCare #HealthEducation #NormalizeAnatomy #SelfCareTips #skin #dermatology https://www.instagram.com/p/DNp2vyeu_zv/?igsh=ODIzMWh0Y3d6MzBs
