All about pH balance and skin toning.
pH (power Hydrogen - “power of hydrogen”) is an indicator that indicates the number of hydrogen atoms in a particular environment. The pH value depends on the ratio between positively charged ions, which form an acidic environment, and negatively charged ions, which form an alkaline environment. Simply put, pH is an indicator of acid-base balance.
The pH scale measures from 1 to 14
pH 7 (neutral) - a neutral environment, for example near water.
pH from 0 to 6.9 (acidic) - acidic environment
pH from 7.1 to 14 (alkaline) - alkaline environment.
The skin has a slightly acidic pH (in the range of 4-6)
pH of normal skin is 4.7 and slightly higher;
Oily skin pH - above 5.7, closer to 6;
Dry skin pH is 4.4.
Skin has an acidic pH. It is in contact with the external environment, and therefore with bacteria, infections, allergens. Protection is needed and the skin can only fight back when the pH is acidic. The acid mantle on the surface of the skin protects us from the penetration of pollution. At a healthy acidic pH of 4.7, the protection works properly. The skin is supple and hydrated.
Too acidic pH makes the skin hypersensitive, very dry and prone to irritation.
Alkaline pH is a paradise for bacteria, when the skin is oily or combination, excess sebum is oxidized and the balance shifts to alkaline, which is why inflammation, acne and acne occur.
There is an opinion among cosmetologists that there is only normal skin, all other types are normal skin with a shifted pH level. And if you align it, then the skin will become normal, smooth and healthy. The best Japanese cosmetologists will help you with this.
Toning is an important step in skin care
After washing, the pH of the skin becomes alkaline. This happens all the time, even if you use super gentle cleansers. But to restore, return the skin to normal activity, that is, special means can tone it up. Tonics or lotions. If you immediately apply a cream, emulsion or serum after washing, then the pH of the skin remains alkaline.
As a result:
- the skin loses its protection;
- cannot fight back bacteria;
- inflammatory processes are possible;
- loss of moisture;
- the skin makes a lot of effort to regain its acidic pH.
Don't torment your skin - help it normalize its pH. Sometimes this is several times during the morning or evening care ritual. For example, after cleansing, you decide to make a mask. Do, but use a tonic before and after the mask if it requires rinsing.
Rule: tone your skin every time after contact with cleanser or water!
You can choose your tonic here. Buy directly from Japan! Many tonics and lotions, in addition to tonic, have many important properties: moisturize, tighten pores, fight inflammation.
