101 SKIN SCHOOL
What is pH?
The term “pH” refers to “potential of hydrogen”. The pH of a solution is indicated by a numeric scale that runs from 0-14. Anything below 7 (which is pH neutral) is considered acidic, while anything with a pH greater than 7 is considered alkaline.
What is the pH of Skin?
It might surprise you to find out that skin’s surface and uppermost layers are naturally acidic, making it compatible with acidic skin care products. The acid-alkaline balance of the skin, measured as the pH level, is the key to excellent skin care. The pH of the skin is acidic and measured roughly to be 4.5 during the night (at sleep) and then upwards of 5.5 during the day. Derma-Ceutix products are made to penetrate into the skin to work & help achieve your skin care goals!
The goal for proper skin care is to look at both Day and Night:
Day: Cleanse & Protect
Night: Restore & Repair
Most skin care products on the market are 10 – 12 pH which leads to dry skin (because of the alkalinity) and certainly will not penetrate the skin where it is desired.
Cellular Regeneration
It takes 28 days for a new skin cell produced in a 20-year-old individual to rise to the surface, but it takes 90 days for the same to occur in a 50-year-old. This slowing of the skin regeneration process allows for more time to dry-out the skin and create signs of the aging process. You can speed up that Cellular Turnover with Derma-Ceutix Products & Customized Treatments with your local Esthetician.
Sunscreen should be at the top of your skincare routine regimen! Daily and consistent use of sunscreen helps to prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles, textural imperfections, and changes in the appearance of pores over time. Sunscreen is one of the most important tools you have in your skin care regimen! For optimal skin care results when using Derma-Ceutix products SPF needs to be part of your daily regimen 365 days a year, rain or shine!
Why Should I Get Professional Treatments Done with my Local Esthetician if I am using Skin Care Products at home?
Professionally provided Rejuvenation (chemical) peels are an important part of skin health. Derma-Ceutix peels are made from natural derivatives such as sugar cane & willow bark. As an effective treatment option for most skin types and concerns, they improve tone & texture, fine lines/wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, & acne.
These treatments will slough off the top layer of dead, compromised skin allowing your home care products to penetrate deeper into the skin to provide maximum results. We compare this combination to “Diet & Exercise” for the skin. You can get results from one or the other, but the pair provides the best, quickest results! Consult with your Local Esthetician to see what peel suits your skin type, lifestyle, and skin goals!
