Natural Cleanser With Low Acidity And
Maximum Results
Is your facial cleanser harmful to your
skin?
When using facial cleansers, it is quite common to
experience,
redness and sensitivity in the skin. Many of us refrain form
using
cleansers because of the harsh and unpleasant effects on the
skin.
Often it is the high level of acidity in the commercially
made
facial cleansers (20 to 70%) that is responsible for the
reaction
on the skin.
It is important when using cleanser to pay attention to the
level
of acidity. For the skin to function to its ultimate, the PH
has to
be neutral.
To acidic and we get acne, to alkaline and we get the
problems of a
dry skin. A natural cleanser with low acidity will work well on
all skin type.
Let's have a look at why we need facial cleansers in the
first place.
Remember Cleopatra and her milk bath? Modern research is
showing
that the alpha- hydroxy acids (AHA) found in milk dissolve the
glue
that holds the dead skin cells together and cleanse the top
layer
of the skin. When that first layer is removed, the natural
emollient oil produced by the body can reach the surface of
the
facial skin and remoisturize the skin. It helps remove black
heads
and cleanse oily skin very throughly.
Research is also showing that AHAs are also present in
plants.
Natural AHAs have lower acidity than commercialy made AHAs
products.
Did you know that apple cider vinegar for example has
an acidity level of 7% when most
commercial facial cleansers range beetween 20 and
70%?
