5 'Swimming without Regrets' Tips For Women over 50 By Damiva's Health & Wellness Lead Annette Garcea (56)!
Annette's Tips if you want to avoid Feeling Itchy or Dry after a Swim
-
Use an intimate moisturizer after the swim. As we age, our body needs some help to balance back the pH and natural lubrication after a swim.
-
Change out of your wet bathing suit as soon as possible. The wet environment creates a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause infections.
-
One of the best things you can do for your vaginal health is to wear breathable clothing. Choose fabrics that wonβt trap moisture.
-
Rinse after the swim to remove chlorine, chemical pollutants, sand, salt or bacteria, which can affect vaginal pH and health.
-
Use water-free, not water-based intimate products and moisturizers. Water-based lubes, moisturizers or cremes contain chemicals which make you more dry over time.
Our body changes, and so we need to adapt our routine when going swimming.
Annette Garcea, a life long swimming and ocean lover, says that 'When I was younger, I did not experience issues after swimming. Things changed in my mid forties. However, with the right routine, we can enjoy swimming and fun in the water the same as when we were younger. '
