Great lesson. The skin is fascinating. For a few years I've been following some Asian beauty bloggers where there is a pH obsession but outside that as you say I don't think i've seen it mentioned!
I know right?! If Asian beauty bloggers are obsessed than you knoooow it is for real!! I think part of it is that we really just don't know how important it is.
Thank you Rie for this video. I'm a skincare teacher and I also was surprised to find out that pH is not a subject that Estheticians are not passionate about or are not considering it when doing a skin analysis. It's overlooked but it is so important. It's also a key component in acid peels. So thank you for reminding us about it.
🙌❤️ well I don’t think it is always soap per say but rather the formula and manufacturer are always key. I mean Irish springs isn’t meant for face but… there are a few small indie brands that make great facial soaps. To be honest the skin is great at regulating it’s own pH and wat has a pH of 7 soooo
Fascinating, thank you for sharing this! pH is so important to our health inside and out. I have also been learning a lot about skin biology and lipid barrier health, and when it is compromised or damaged, we can get infections, develop sensitivity, etc. I have been learning too that using only oils for skincare contributes to damage which is why I developed sensitivity and multiple types of breakouts rather than just hormonal. I would love to hear more videos about skin biology!
+Ashlynn Kap crazy that there is so much more to it then just putting stuff on your face! Definitely thinking a ceramides and skin cycle video are coming
Looks like I need to be thanking my face microbes...The only skin care products that I have heard talk about the Ph in a particular product is Korean skin care. Great video..thanks for sharing...my inner nerd is very happy!
The face products that I use, the company talks about pH all the time, and all their line is pH balanced. I’m also surprised that other brands don’t talk too much about it. But I’m happy all of the products I use have the correct pH. I use SeneGence by the way. Thanks for your video!
Yes! So since I made this video, there has been a lot more brands making thei pH known. So very interesting. Ironically enough tho, I have started using soap on my face which has a higher pH (I am going to have a video out about it in a few weeks)
@@riebags yes please do a vid about cacao! And can I put it on my face ? I only eat 100% cacao dark chocolate and can u do a "how to" vid if using melted cacao chocolate is good in skincare other than eating it for the antioxidants?
How can I lower my ph so skincare products actually works properly i been mixing lemon juice with my 2% salicylic acid face wash... I'm trying to lower the ph level so that l absorbic acid aka vitamin c can actually penatrate deep enough to work and so I get the real benefits of using my vitamin c serum with out it oxidizing on my skin .
