How a pH-Balanced Face Wash Helps Support Healthy Skin
The right pH for your skin helps reduce irritation, dryness and harmful bacteria. For most people, a good skin pH is around 5.5, but external factors can throw that balance off.
Pollution in your environment, the use of harsh chemicals and over-cleansing are common factors that put healthy skin pH at risk. A pH-balanced face wash works with your skin's natural barrier to help maintain a good acidity. When you use a pH-balanced cleanser that works well with your skin, you may notice reduced dryness and redness, fewer breakouts and softer, healthier-feeling skin.
Choosing the Right pH-Balanced Cleanser for Your Skin Type
Choosing the right pH-balancing cleanser for your skin can help you get the most out of your routine. Here's a quick guide:
Oily skin: Foaming cleansers with charcoal or tea tree oil, such as Cetaphil gentle skin cleansing cloths
Dry skin: A creamy cleanser with hydrating hyaluronic acid or ceramides, such as Coats gentle hydrating cleanser
Sensitive skin: A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with soothing ingredients like aloe or oat extract, such as Vichy Pureté Thermale mineral micellar water
Combination skin: A balanced formula that cleans without over-drying, such as Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser
Normal skin: A gel or cream cleanser with simple ingredients, such as Neutrogena Hydro Boost cleansing gel
Tips for Using a pH-Balanced Skin Cleanser in Your Routine
These tips can help you build a simple, supportive skin care routine:
Wash your face once or twice daily, depending on your skin type and activity level. Over-washing can disrupt your skin's pH.
Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping your skin's natural oils.
Follow up with a gentle moisturizer to help lock in hydration and support your skin barrier.
Avoid layering face wash products unless recommended by your dermatologist.
What Is A PH Balanced Cleanser?
How acidic is your skin? For those of us that didn't realize our skin was acidic in the first place, a pH balanced cleanser can do wonders on the skin for a brighter, healthier face. Using a scale of 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, pH balanced cleansers aim to bring your face to a 5 or lower as skin naturally sits at a pH level of 4.7. If a lemon sits at a 2 and milk is a 6, you ideally want to land somewhere in the middle of the two. At CVS, find the pH balanced cleanser that will best work towards moisturizing your skin, ridding it of bacteria, and prevent any peeling or scaling.
How To Choose A PH Balanced Cleanser
In order to find the right cleanser for your face, it is important to determine what type of skin you have. Rather than blindly scanning the numerous brands at your local CVS, walk the aisle with confidence knowing you have 1 of 5 skin types:
• Oily: indicated by large pores or developing a sheen quickly after washing, this skin type requires a pH balancing face wash, often containing charcoal to purify
• Dry: flaky, itchy skin asks for a hydrating face wash often made with essential oils
• Sensitive: irritate or red skin craves creamy foams with soothing ingredients like aloe and witch hazel
• Normal: balanced skin that can handle different scents and hydration
• Combination: an oily T-zone pairs with dry cheekbones requires something that will effectively clean and hydrate at the same time
