Skin Care and pH
Whatever we use to wash our
bodies should have a ph of
5.5, which is close to the
pH of our skin. Alkaline products
(above pH 5.5) strip the protective
coating from the skin. This
invisible coating is made
of oil and sweat. The loss
of its protective coating
can cause the skin to go wild
in the production of oil,
furiously trying to replace
the protective layer that
was lost. This excess oil
can clog the pores and actually
cause skin blemishes.
Alkaline bubble bath products
can irritate the tender skin
of the urethra and cause pain
during urination.
You can check the pH of products
if you are interested in doing
so. Inexpensive pH testing
kits are available at drug
stores and pet stores. Soap,
whether in liquid form or
a bar, is always too alkaline.
The liquid washes or gels
are usually the correct pH
to protect the skin.
Blemished skin can be treated
with raw, unfiltered apple
cider vinegar, which has many
healing properties and is
pH 5.5. Splash or dab it on
blemished skin after bathing.
If you continue to be troubled
with skin blemishes, consider
strengthening your liver,
which is your body's cleansing
organ. Milk thistle is an
herb widely known for supporting
liver function. The extract
of milk thistle is stronger
and more effective than the
ground herb powder and is
available in any health food
store or food co-op. The extract
in capsules is easier to take,
since milk thistle is very
bitter.
