Understanding Skin pH

Understanding Skin pHHey, it's Bob Today's tip is about something many people overlook: skin pH.Your skin's natural pH is slightly acidic, around 5.5. This acidic mantle protects against bacteria and environmental damage. Many commercial soaps are highly alkaline (pH 9 to 11), which disrupts this protective barrier and leaves skin dry, tight, and vulnerable.Keys Castile-based products like Island Rx and MetaClean are formulated with a milder pH around 8.5, which cleans effectively without destroying your skin's natural protective barrier. They're modified from traditional Castile soap with olive, coconut, avocado, and jojoba oils to be gentler on sensitive skin.After cleansing with these products, your skin feels clean and refreshed – never stripped or tight. That's the pH balance working properly.Keys also adds therapeutic essential oils like clary sage and blood orange, which help restore and maintain healthy skin pH while providing aromatherapy benefits.When your skin's pH is balanced, it can better defend against acne, eczema, and premature aging. It's a simple principle with powerful results.Keep your skin's pH balanced for optimal health!
