The part of face wash products that people don’t talk about
Do you know what pH means? If you don’t, you’re not alone. The pH levels of the skin refers to how acidic or alkaline it is. The surface of your skin has a thin, protective layer, which is known as the acid mantle. Naturally, your skin’s pH level is between 4.5 and 5.5. The acid-alkaline ratio ranges from 0 (the most acidic) to 14 (the most alkaline).
When the acid mantle becomes too alkaline, it struggles to fight bacteria. This leads to breakouts, moisture loss and premature ageing (due to dehydration).
The link between pH & face wash
So, now you know what pH is and why it’s important. But, what’s the relationship between your face wash and your pH levels? Well, if a face wash isn’t pH balanced, it weakens the skin’s structure (the outer layer, aka the acid mantle). It can also be compromised by air conditioning, heating, dust, sun exposure and air pollution. But your face wash shouldn’t add to this imbalance. It should help fight the external influencers.
What does a damaged acid mantle look like?
And how can a face wash fix it?
You’ll see it, as a result of the ‘unhappy’ fatty acids and lipids. This means bacteria, allergens and other nasties (that don’t belong) find their way through your skin. What follows is havoc – inflammation, allergies and breakouts. But relax, we’ve got good news. And, you guessed it, a good face wash.
A pH-levelling face wash can reverse (and prevent) this damage. You can restore your skin to its naturally-balanced state, by swapping over to a pH balanced face wash, like ours.
Double-cleansing botanical face wash
We all need a holiday. So does your skin. We have one face wash (yep, only one) that has a pH that works in harmony with you. Perfect for all complexions, our face wash also removes makeup, impurities and the effects of air pollution – so there are no way pollutants seep under the surface of your skin.
Here are a few compelling reasons why this face wash is one of a kind.
Cleanse, moisture, tone & empower
The Neora-only ingredient, Sea3C™, combines sea whip extract, betula platyphylla japonica juice and raffinose. Rosemary oil and clary sage oil further conditions and soothes.
Niacinamide provides the toned look, while coconut-derived surfactants gently cleanse. Then, glycerine (derived from lipids) supports skin’s natural barrier. Pretty cool, huh?
Now it’s time for you to try this face wash yourself, and get your pH levels right again, naturally.
