Self-care is a priority, from skincare routines to diet choices. Maintaining skin health includes balancing its pH level, which is vital for a glowing complexion.

Skin's pH scale ranges around 4.7, slightly acidic. This acidity helps fight harmful microbes and keeps skin healthy. Aging reduces skin acidity, so balanced products are essential.

A balanced pH supports the skin's protective barrier and promotes absorption of skincare products. It helps maintain the skin's microbiome, leading to healthy skin.

Harsh ingredients, rough handling, temperature, and pollutants disrupt skin balance. Contrary to belief, tap water's neutral pH (7) is less disruptive than sparkling water (pH 3-4).

Too acidic pH can cause redness and patches, while alkaline pH leads to wrinkles. Imbalance strips skin of moisture, resulting in roughness and irritation.

Detoxing means unclogging pores for a healthier skin barrier. Excessive detoxing can cause more skin issues, and no products truly detox the skin.

Increase fiber, leafy vegetables, and fruits intake for overall skin health. Avoid sugary and processed foods that worsen skin issues. Use gentle skincare products to balance pH without stripping natural oils.
