2 Winter Habits HK Women Love That Secretly Cause Vaginal Dryness and Itching

Your Winter Comfort Rituals Might Be Harming Your V-Area

While your hands and feet might already be feeling the effects of dryness, have you considered the most delicate skin on your body—your intimate area?

SERENE is committed to enhancing women’s intimate health. Today, we’re spotlighting two common winter habits that can trigger discomfort and offering simple solutions to maintain balance and hydration.

I. 🔥 Trap 1: The Extremely Hot Shower That Strips Natural Oils

We know that during the cold, humid Hong Kong winter, your shower temperature might shock anyone else! 🤣 The feeling of being enveloped in scalding hot water is pure comfort.

However, the truth is that prolonged exposure (over 10-15 minutes) and excessively high water temperatures act like a powerful dehumidifier, effectively stripping away the natural oils and protective barriers on your intimate skin. If your hands and legs feel dry, your delicate intimate mucosa is even more vulnerable.

The result? Initial comfort is followed by the unsettling sensation of dryness, tightness, and eventually, irritating winter itching in the intimate area. Itching is a red flag indicating "dehydration and damage."

II. ♨️ Trap 2: Onsen Water's Alkaline Threat to pH Balance

Holiday plans for Christmas, New Year’s, or Lunar New Year often include a relaxing "Ski + Onsen" package. A solid hour in the hot springs after a day on the slopes is a must!

Yet, the components of hot spring water pose a subtle threat: Onsen water is often alkaline (the opposite of the healthy acidic environment of the vagina, which is around pH ). It may also contain irritating minerals. Frequent visits or prolonged soaking disrupts your intimate area’s natural pH balance, weakening its defenses and leading to potential abnormal discharge and sensitivity.

💡 SERENE Professional Prevention + Relief Strategies

To combat these two major winter risks, SERENE suggests adopting these simple yet effective habits:

  1. Adjust Routine (Temp/Time): Try to shorten your shower time by 5 minutes and slightly lower the water temperature. Skipping the "sauna effect" and dressing quickly is more effective for keeping warm!

  2. Gentle Drying (Reduce Friction): After showering, use a towel to gently pat dry your intimate area—never rub vigorously, which can cause friction and secondary irritation.

  3. Post-Onsen Rinse (Maintain pH): If you are soaking in an onsen, rinse your intimate area with running clean water as soon as you exit the pool or change clothes, to wash off residual minerals and chemicals.

  4. Stay Dry (Clothing): After an onsen or exercise, always change into clean, dry, and breathable cotton underwear to prevent moisture from causing an unhealthy, trapped environment.
