Maintaining the integrity of your acid mantle can help prevent breakouts in Chico, Ca.Your acid mantle is a mixture of substances secreted onto the surface of your skin that acts as a seal or waterproofing agent. The acidic nature of the acid mantle is what gives your skin it's pH (4.5ish to 5.5ish).
This skin "sealant" helps keep cells tight and flat sort of like shingles that protect your roof from the elements. This makes it more challenging for acne bacteria, other microbes and environmental pollutants to penetrate your skin. Using the wrong skin care products, even just the wrong cleanser, can compromise your acid mantle. When this happens, the skin can become overly dry, red and/or irritated... and with that comes more breakouts.
