pH-balanced skincare is designed in perfect harmony for your skin - it matches your natural pH, not too acidic, not too alkaline. This keeps your skin’s protective barrier, known as the acid mantle, in happy and healthy against bacteria, irritants, and daily stressors. Using pH-balanced skincare is great for everyone, but especially if you have sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea and eczema, which often indicate a compromised acid mantle.

Our skin’s natural pH level is between 4.4 and 5.75 and it’s important to maintain this to support barrier function and a healthy skin microbiome. If the pH is disrupted with products that are too acidic or too alkaline, this can lead to dryness, or excessive oiliness, and may exacerbate conditions like acne or eczema. Choosing skincare products that respect the skin's natural pH, like Saya’s, ensures they work effectively and minimises irritation, ultimately promoting clearer, healthier skin.
The Benefits of using pH-Balanced Skincare
-
Maintains Skin Barrier: pH balanced products help preserve the skin's natural acid mantle, which is essential for its barrier function. This barrier protects against bacteria, pollutants, and irritants, reducing the risk of infections and sensitivities.
-
Prevents Dryness and Oiliness: By supporting the skin's natural pH level these products help regulate sebum production and maintain optimal moisture levels. This prevents both dryness and excessive oiliness, keeping the skin comfortable and hydrated.
-
Reduces Irritation and Sensitivity: pH balanced skincare is less likely to cause irritation or trigger allergic reactions. It is gentler on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin types and reducing the risk of redness or inflammation.
-
Enhances Product Effectiveness: Skincare products formulated at a pH similar to that of the skin are more effective. They can penetrate the skin more efficiently, delivering active ingredients where they are needed without disrupting the skin's natural balance.
- Promotes Healthy Skin Microbiome: A balanced pH environment supports a diverse and healthy skin microbiome. This microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, protecting against pathogens, and supporting overall skin immunity.
In essence, pH balanced skincare is all about maintaining a healthy skin barrier, preventing dryness and irritation, enhancing the effectiveness of your skincare routine, and supporting a balanced skin microbiome.
