ACNE & YOUR SKIN'S pH...

Using products with the correct pH helps control acne in Chico, Ca.
Your skin is slightly acidic and has a pH that ranges from 4.0 to 6.2. In order for acne skincare products to be effect, they need to penetrate. And, to get them to penetrate, your products need to be acidic. 

It's really quite strategic! The pH needs to drop gradually as you layer your products and the pH has to reach a specific range for good penetration to occur. Anything less and your throwing your money away!

Here's the doozie,,, most over-the-counter acne products have an alkaline pH, which can cause redness, irritation & a sweet environment for bacteria to grow. These factors contribute to out of control acne. 

When selecting your skincare system, see an acne specialist to make sure you're choosing a system that's formulated with the correct pH range.
