We all know that vaginas are magical body parts that can clean themselves, but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel like yours could do with a little helping hand from time to time. Given that you’ve lived with your vagina for some time, you’ve probably learned that it’s best to steer clear of soaps and strong fragrances, but is a vaginal steam facial a good idea? After all, what harm can steam alone do?
No Scientifically Proven Benefits
A vaginal steam facial sounds like it could be an excellent thing. After all, steam can do great things during a facial for your actual face, not to mention cleaning various household objects. The thing is, your vagina isn’t a hardwood floor. There are no scientifically proven benefits of a vaginal steam facial, and it won’t fulfil any promises of improved digestion, balanced hormones and a healthier, detoxed vagina. There are better ways of rejuvenating your vaginal area.
One of the many wonderful things about the vagina is that it is self-cleaning. The last thing your vagina needs is a steam cleaning.
Steam Burns – Need I Say More?
Ouch! Steam burns on the vagina really don’t sound like something you want to experience. Okay, so you may not get burned by the steam aimed on one of the most sensitive parts of your body, but do you really want to take the risk? Not to mention the fact that your vagina does not need to be cleaned, much less steam-cleaned.
The more you try to clean your vagina, the more harm you’re actually doing. Perhaps it’s best to steer clear of the vaginal steam and keep your facials for your, well, face. If you feel you need vaginal rejuvenation, only work with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
