physiology of the skin
On the skin is a thin layer consisting of components of sweat, sebum, and water. This natural acid mantle with a pH value between 4 and 6 forms a barrier against harmful influences from outside. It also influences the colonization of the skin by microorganisms (bacteria). A intact acid mantle supports protective bacteria and directs and controls the spread of pathogenic microorganisms.
The elasticity of the skin is strongly influenced by skin hydration. If this is too low, the skin appears visibly dry, itchy and scaly spans. Healthy and intact skin contains its own natural moisturizing factors (NMF), which provide a balanced skin moisture. Treatment , the skin care products with compensate for deficits in skin moisture and keep the skin moisture, dry ambient air. [2]
The skin cleaning will be charged acid mantle and bacterial flora. An adverse effect shows the frequent use of cleaning products with high pH values (eg, alkaline soaps). Modern (mild) skin cleanser reduce the impact of the acid mantle and healthy skin the normal state is fast again.
