Vaginal rejuvenation. It’s wonderful but it may sound awkward! It sounds like the vagina needs resuscitation!
Well ,sometimes it does and luckily there is help out there. However, there are a lot of myths and things to be wary out there too.
So, today we are going to tell you what you need to keep it pretty down there and what to stay away from!
I have seen articles on sheet masks for the v- zone, acne treatments, v – lightening and tightening and I will give you all the answers, tips and tricks.
The key is to not be tricked into what you think it should look like down there but to love and care for beautiful unique you.
1: Sheet Masks for the Vagina – Yes, that’s a thing! I know! I am totally for a vulvar skincare regimen or routine as long as it appreciates the very sensitive nature of the area. Also a great time to review anatomy down there.
2: Vulva beauty yes! But the vagina is a no fly zone! Hormones, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging (yes, you can get wrinkles down there too.) can cause discolorations and wagging skin. Gentle exfoliations can help skin with acne, ingrown hairs and aging.
3: Bikini acne or vulvar acne can be treated with a 10% benzoyl peroxide wash on the bikini area. However, I strongly don’t recommend vajacials which can cause infections. Vajacial at home with a warm soak in Epsom salts are much better.
Also Gentle moisturizers like coconut oil are great for skin texture and a natural v – perfume if you are looking for one. It’s a two for one! We have a great line at Ocean Oasis! You want to feel pretty everywhere including down there. Remember nothing goes in vaginally, especially douches because the vagina does it all by itself! The self cleaning oven!
5: Now lightening and tightening have given rise to controversy but if it makes you feel better about yourself without risk to you emotionally or physically then we all want to feel good about ourselves. Discolorations that can occur over time and pregnancy can be alleviated with gentle Kojic acid or hydroquinone and lasers.
6: Now tightening/toning can also be achieved with high intensity focused ultrasound which can be more gentle than lasers and more effective for this area of the body than lasers. I love using this treatment on my patients because they love the results and that is what counts to me! So of course I have this beautiful machine in my office and my patients usually notice results right away and love them. If they happy then it makes me happy!

Until next time, This is Dr. Lisa reminding you to Be Well and Be Fabulous!
Just to give you a brief intro, Erin started getting into the lifestyle, teaching and training of yoga about 20 years ago and over the last 7 – 8 years, she really discovered she wanted to teach and be of service with the practice. She was fortunate to be raised around Kundalini Yoga and meditation, as her dad is a teacher and practitioner so it was always around her and her environment – so she has a lot of valuable experience with yoga and she is so excited to share it with everyone!
For Erin, yoga makes her feel like she has a place in the world, a purpose for herself and other people, and most importantly being able to give to others – which is such an amazing feeling. I can also really relate to that, because I find when practicing medicine, when I give to people and see their joy, it ten folds back to me. So when we watch people, we can see them go to another place, which is extremely rewarding!
I find that yoga helps everything work together and it’s really great when you get that feeling of freedom, relaxation and for some people, it might even be another level of consciousness. Also I have found that ultimately yoga really helps us want to become better people, which is something we all should be striving to do! Yoga not only helps us look good, but it helps us feel good as well, so I think it’s important to try to keep finding that balance. And sometimes one serves the other, so when we look good we feel good too!
Most people when they think of yoga believe you have to be super flexible like many of the crazy yoga poses you see on Instagram, but Erin reassured me that is absolutely not the case. She thinks yoga is actually in the mind and not just the body. Basically, if you can see it in your mind, you can do whatever you want and everything is possible!
I am so excited to share this ancient and beautiful practice with everyone! Keep tuning in on our journey together and I hope we can encourage our followers to get out and try some yoga if you haven’t already. If you would like to keep up with Erin you can follow her on Instagram
