What is pH?
pH (Potential of Hydrogen)
pH (Potential of Hydrogen) is a measurement of the degree of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution as measured on a scale (pH scale) of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7.0 on the pH scale represents a neutral solution is neither acid nor alkaline (i.e. water). Numbers below 7.0 indicate acidity; numbers greater than 7.0 indicate alkalinity.
Extremely Low pH
Excessively oily skin and blemishes occur when the skin's pH levels are extremely low (very acidic). When skin is in this state, it not only causes blemishes, but results in excessive oil and/or dryness in patches, inflammation and chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Low pH
Oily skin occurs when the skin’s pH levels are too low (acidic). When skin is in this state, it not only causes oily skin, but can result in irritation and redness.
High pH
Dry skin occurs when the skin’s pH levels are too high (alkaline). When skin is in this state, it not only causes dry skin, but can result in blemishes and inflammation.
How does pH relate to our skin?
Most skin problems occur when pH is out of balance. Typically, healthy skin has a slight acidic pH average of 5.5, where dry skin — is not only dry, but too high in alkaline (aka too high in pH). Oily skin is categorized as not only being oily but too acidic, meaning low in pH., Chronic and Irritated skin (oily/oily and dry patches) are extremely low in acidic levels and are very low in pH. This is generally for those people with irritated/inflamed chronic conditions such as Eczema and Rosacea.
