WHY IS THE pH LEVEL OF A FACE WASH SO IMPORTANT?
If a face wash is not pH balanced (i.e. is too alkaline), it weakens the structure of your skin's acid mantle. This leaves the skin is prone to attack because it can damage ceramides, lipids and fatty acids.
Further, it can encourage bacteria to breed. This is bad news for those of us with acne-prone skin and roseacea, because these conditions can be exacerbated by using an unbalanced cleansing foam.
