5 Things You Didn’t Know About Perianal Skincare

We get it — perianal skincare isn’t exactly a hot dinner table topic. But it should be!
Here are 5 things you need to know about taking care of your butt:

1. The skin around your perianal area is up to ten layers thinner than other parts of your body making it more delicate so it needs gentle ingredients.

2. Nourishing the skin helps maintain its elasticity which will help your butt last your life's journey.

3. Excessive wiping with dry toilet paper can weaken the skin barrier.

4. Anal skin tags, little itty bitty bits of butt skin, can be the result of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, Crohn's disease and chronic constipation. So, if you notice that you have skin tags you should tell your doctor at your next screening.

5. Just as body lotion isn't suitable for your face, not all skincare products are safe for delicate anal skin, so you should only use products developed specifically for that area.
