pH: A Balancing Act For Your Skin
	Q: How can the proper pH balance give you beautiful skin? Healthy, beautiful skin has a slightly acid, natural pH of 5.5, a balance that you shouldn't be disturbed. The acid mantle - a thin layer of natural oil and secretions that moisturizes and protects your skin - works to keep this balance. It's your skin's natural way of protecting itself. Q: Does the acid mantle get dirty? Yes. In fact, its job is to trap dirt and germs, capturing them so they can't enter your pores. The trick in cleaning your face is to get rid of the dirt without completely stripping away the protective acid mantle. Q: What happens to your skin if the acid mantle is removed? Remove the acid mantle, and you leave your skin totally dry and unprotected. Now your oil glands will start working overtime to compensate. Three or four hours after you've cleansed your face, your skin will be oilier than ever. Q: Is it possible to clean your skin without removing the protective acid mantle? Yes, if you use the pH-balanced cleanser that reaches deep, unclogs pores, and leaves your skin antiseptically clean. All without disturbing the delicate pH balance of your skin. Q: How does pH-balanced cleanser do that? A pH-balanced cleanser leaves a protective emollient barrier on your skin, which is physically compatible with the acid mantle of your skin. So your skin stays soft, smooth, molst, and perfectly pHbalanced.	Homepage   Relations Who Says You Have to Have a Boyfriend?
