Why the Skin Ph is So Important

Why the Skin Ph is So Important

Did you know that the pH of your skin can determine how healthy, glowing and vibrant it is? Thats because the skin's pH plays a key role in maintaining a healthy and strong lipid barrier, providing a thriving environment for your skin's microbiome and immune system.

In the health and wellness community, we are encouraged to keep our bodies alkaline to avoid chronic inflammatory conditions and disease. However, our skin should NOT be alkaline. In fact, healthy skin should have a pH of around 4.5 - 5.5. A neutral pH is 7; so anything below that is considered an ACIDIC environment and anything above it is termed ALKALINE.
