Why pH Balance Matters in Skincare

Why pH Balance Matters in Skincare

 

Discover why your skin's pH is the secret to that glow-up—and how Lavishly Skincare keeps it in perfect harmony.

 


 

What Is pH Balance in Skincare (and Why Should You Care)?

You’ve probably seen the words “pH-balanced” on a skincare bottle and thought, Cool… but what does that actually mean?

Let’s break it down.


pH (potential hydrogen) measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is—on a scale of 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline). Your skin naturally sits around a pH of 4.5 to 5.5, which is slightly acidic.

This natural acidity forms your acid mantle. A super-thin, protective layer that:

  • Keeps moisture in
  • Blocks bacteria and pollutants
  • Prevents dryness, breakouts and irritation

So yes, your skin actually has a built-in security system!

 


 

What Happens When pH Levels Are Off?

When you use products that are too alkaline or acidic, your skin’s pH gets thrown off, and so does everything else.

A disrupted pH can lead to:

  • Dryness and flaking 
  • Increased sensitivity and redness
  • More breakouts
  • Premature aging (yes, really) 

In other words, your favorite cleanser might secretly be your biggest skin saboteur.
