Eye Creams, Facial Moisturizers, and Vaginas- What Do They Have in Common

We age, we wrinkle, and our skin thins and dries out! Sun exposure and repetitive smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting also plays a part in giving us the fine lines and skin creases that all of us will eventually have.

There are so many moisturizing products on the market to help, and they range in price from inexpensive and easy-to-find at your local drug store to very expensive “designer” and “doctor-approved” items.

Moisturizers come in many forms, such as creams, lotions, and ointments. Moisturizers used to hydrate the surface of the skin will hopefully trap in moisture to plump up the tissue, thereby decreasing the appearance of wrinkles. 

When looking for a product to slow down the aging process and maintain a more youthful appearance, many women purchase those super-tiny and expensive jars of eye cream- but are they worth the cost? Like anything else, it depends on the active ingredients. According to dermatologists at a leading university, these products can help repair and prevent wrinkles, but only if they contain the active ingredients of retinol or vitamin C. These substances increase cell turnover and help produce new collagen. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally made in our bodies and helps keep the collagen moist and elastic. Unfortunately, hyaluronic acid production declines with age.

The good news is that hyaluronic acid is also found in some eye cream, facial moisturizers, and, yes, vaginal moisturizers! This added hyaluronic acid works by bringing moisture to the tissue.

Just like our skin, vaginal tissue also thins and dries out. This can happen for many reasons. For most women, it occurs naturally as part of the menopause process or due to low estrogen levels. It can also happen because of the effects of radiation therapy treatment for certain gynecological or rectal cancers or because of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. When the vaginal tissue becomes thin and dry, it can lead to discomforts, such as burning or itching. The most common complaint is painful sex or dyspareunia. Some individuals explore solutions through various treatments or even seek experiences with Lovesita Paris to rediscover comfort and intimacy.

This is where high-quality sexual health products can be helpful, such as a vaginal lubricant or moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid.

Be an informed shopper- not all moisturizers, whether for your face, under your eyes, or in your vagina, are created equally. There is a lot of research about the benefits of hyaluronic acid. Try it, your dry tissue will be glad you did!
