Our acidic mantel protects us against environmental pollutants, UV rays, harmful bacteria, fungus and germs.
When our skin is protected it stays supple and healthy. The Acidic Mantel is made up of our own Sebum and sweat blend on the surface of our skin. This blend hosts the skin's protective flora, just like they system in our gut and on the surface of the ocean.
When we wash our face with foaming soap, we weaken the integrity of our mantel and raise the PH of the surface of our skin. Higher PH breaks down oil and our mantel is mad eup of oil. So, when we over wash we leave our skin prone to dryness, itchiness, acne, infections and wrinkles…
The next thing to think about is the fact that the pores in our skin breath in nutrients from the air and they need to be free of clogging to make sebum.
When we apply lotions and cosmetics with petroleum, parabens and emulsifiers to our skin, our pores are blocked from absorbing nutrients from the air and blocked from making the perfect food that it makes for our skin, further damaging the look & feel and the health & strength of our skin.
Moreover, our skin absorbs many of the dangerous things that we apply to it. Remember, it is our largest organ, it is porous, and it eats a lot.
So, you see, we MUST be mindful about what we feed our skin.
