Context: Grazie alla speciale formulazione a pH 4,5, XXXX SALVIETTINE INTIME mantengono la fisiologica acidità delle mucose cutanee.
Explanation: It's worded very strangely, if not medically incorrect, in Italian. You can say mucous membranes or mucosal surfaces. Adding skin would be wrong.

Let's get right down to our subject: the vagina and how to be healthy "down there." Vaginal wellness really comes down to a balancing act based on two basic facts. First, the vagina and vulva are not skin. They are mucous membranes.
Yes! Many women think it's mucosa (moist tissue that lines particular organs and body cavities throughout the body, including your nose, mouth, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract); but it is skin which is delicate in make up and needs careful looking after.
