You’ve probably heard a lot about Skin pH and microbiome recently, but what are they? And what do they mean for you?
We’ve already told you about the importance of maintaining a healthy skin microbiome. In case you need a recap, your skin microbiome is your very own natural shield – a unique ecosystem responsible for controlling aspects of your skin, such as maintaining an efficient and protective barrier, balancing out the skin’s natural pH, as well as defending against pathogenic germs and toxins, which can lead to irritation and skin issues like Acne, Rosacea, Dermatitis etc.
For our skin’s microbiome to work at their best, we must first look to balance and normalise a healthy pH level for our skin. The pH is the measurement of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. For optimal healthy skin, we ideally look for a pH of between 4.7-5.8. Anything either side of this ideal level, can lead to poor skin health, irritated, unhappy skin and a compromised skin barrier.
How To Get Help With Compromised Skin
Many skincare solutions we encounter daily (even water!) can disrupt our skin’s pH for several hours after exposure – leading to an increased alkaline pH value which is not ideal for the cutaneous microbiome of the skin, meaning the skin’s natural flora cannot thrive, the skin function becomes impaired, dry, sensitive and susceptibility to bacteria increases.
BYONIK still has the perfect solution. The BYONIK skincare range is the ideal skin pairing. Their specialist products are extremely well tolerated by all skin types and concerns.
