Hello skincare lovers out there!
The Lady K team is curious about what you are going to prioritize the most while washing your faces.
We've found that skin problems are a major concern. Even with thorough cleansing, there's always the worry of undesired results.
What if the outcome isn't what you expected?
For some reason, many people find that their skin feels tighter and drier, even when using gentle ingredients.
Have you ever heard of the skin barrier?
These days, a lot of people are worried about this matter.
Did you know that acidity, cleansing strength, and cleansing cycle are the three most crucial factors to consider when washing your face?
If you're not familiar with it, come to learn more about it with us!
This is Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.
Do you know what acidity is?
pH 7 is neutral; anything below that is acidic, while anything above is alkaline. If it's close to 7, it's considered slightly acidic or weakly alkaline. In general, both acids and bases can destroy and wash away bacteria-sized proteins.
In general, alkaline substances tend to be harsher than acidic ones. Whichever way, this affects the protein layer of your skin. Therefore, you shouldn't use products that are too acidic or too alkaline.
However, how can you determine if a product is acidic or alkaline? There’s an easy way to check (though not foolproof).
Unlike acidic products, alkaline ones can feel a bit slippery when you use them. This occurs as a result alkalinity's ability to dissolve the keratin and skin barrier on the skin's surface. For example, many soaps and some surfactants are alkaline (in fact, regular soap has a high alkaline concentration)
Back to Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
As the name suggests, this is a mildly acidic cleanser. Using slightly acidic products is beneficial because they are gentler on the skin compared to alkaline ones. Although their cleansing power is weaker, they cause less loss of the skin barrier.
In the past, it was believed that you needed to wash your skin thoroughly. However, recent theories suggest that you only need to clean the outer surface of your skin to maintain the skin barrier. This approach keeps external bacteria from penetrating the skin and helps skin cells retain more moisture, leading to healthier skin (Protecting the skin barrier is crucial)
Secondly, be mindful of how vigorously you cleanse your face. Some people massage their face too hard or even scratch it with their fingernails, thinking that this improves cleansing. However, this can actually harm your skin.
If you have skin issues, it's even more important to clean gently. Smooth out wrinkles by cleansing in a gentle, rolling motion for no more than 40 seconds. If your face doesn’t feel clean after the first wash, gently cleanse again for a shorter time.
Thirdly, wash your face only twice a day, in the morning and evening. Even with mild acidity and proper cleansing methods, the skin barrier can still get damaged. It's essential to give your skin barrier time to recover—about 50% of it recovers within 12 hours. So, stick to washing your face just twice a day to follow this recovery cycle.
