Balanced pH - a condition for a healthy complexion

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is a fascinating structure that represents the first line of defense against external and environmental factors such as, among others: chemicals, allergens, pathogens, and UV light. It is the “barrier” between our body and the outside world.

This unique organ performs many functions: it regulates body temperature, produces vitamin D (through contact with the sun's rays), has sensory properties (allows us to feel touch), and some cells in its layers perform an immune function.

The skin is an important source of information about our health. It reflects our lifestyle, the number of hours we sleep and the way we eat. The lack of a holistic approach to health affects the weakening of the natural protective layer of the skin, that is, the water-lipid mantle. Which translates into the overall appearance and quality of the skin, acceleration of the aging process or the formation of skin problems, such as acne.

The skin absorbs everything we put on it, so proper care, selected for individual needs, is important. Well-groomed skin = healthy skin. That is, the homeostasis of all 3 of its layers: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue must be preserved. The deeper layers of the skin can be stimulated and supported by specialized treatments performed in the beauty salon. While the health of the epidermis must be taken care of on a daily basis with the use of proper care. Moisture level and pH are key. The construction of the cuticle is complex and can be compared to the construction of bricks. These “bricks” are cells that, along with lipids and other fatty acids, form a barrier that protects the skin from the outside, but also retains moisture inside. In order for our skin to be healthy, all of its components mentioned must work in harmony, creating the correct pH. When its balance is disturbed, skin problems appear.

Irregularities in the pH level can depend on many factors, including: excessive cleansing with irritating and foaming cleansers (these are usually alkaline and can remove too much sebum, thus drying the skin). Sebum is essential because it supports overall hydration and has a slightly acidic reaction. This is what helps the skin maintain the desired pH. The use of overly aggressive cleansing gels for the face (such as those containing acids and/or scrubs) can lead to irritation. The skin then becomes overdried, reddened and consequently excessively oily, which in turn supports the growth of bacteria that cause eczema and inflammation.

We have created a unique Gel Cleanser for gentle and comprehensive care. Thanks to carefully selected active ingredients, it provides thorough cleaning and intense hydration. The composition has been enriched with, among others, panthenol, allantoin, sweet almond oil, fatty acids, macadamia oil and vitamin E. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid contained in it eliminate the feeling of dryness and chapping. Its action makes it ideal for any type of skin, even one prone to irritation. Perfectly washes away makeup without irritation. Cleansing gel is the first stage of skin care, preparing it for further steps and rituals.
