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 won’t 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. '

"Damiva isn't just for health nuts like Garcea," she says. "It's a fem care and skin care revolution. While others base their products on water and synthetic chemicals, I subtract and simplify. We're truly pro-women and all-natural. Not synthetic and chemical."

Annette believes in the undiluted richness of natural ingredients and that products need to be natural and healthy for long-term use.

“It can be frustrating when you have dryness, discomfort and irritation in sensitive areas. There is this plethora of worrisome chemicals in personal care products, which can make things worse over time... when all you want is relief and peace of mind."

"Cleo by Damiva" gives you this relief and peace of mind. Cleo is the type of product that you feel so good about that you recommend to your daughter or friends.
