Book Description
The concept of expressing acidity as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration was defined and termed pH in the beginning of the 20th century. The general usefulness of the pH concept for life science was recognized and later gained importance to analytical research. Reports on results of pH measurements from living skin established the term acid mantle - the skin's own protective shield that maintains a naturally acid pH. It is invisible to the eye but crucial to the overall wellbeing of skin. Chronic alkalization can throw this acid mantle out of balance, leading to inflammation, dermatitis, and atopic skin diseases. It is therefore no surprise, that skin pH shifts have been observed in various skin pathologies. It is also obvious that the pH in topically applied preparations may play an important role. Optimal pH and buffer capacity within topical preparations not only support stability of active ingredients and auxiliary materials, but may also increase absorption of the non-ionized species of an acidic or a basic active ingredient. They may even open up opportunities to modify and "correct" skin pH and hence accelerate barrier recovery and maintain or enhance barrier integrity. Further efforts are needed to standardize and improve pH measurements in biological media or pharmaceutical/cosmetic vehicles to increase and ensure quality, comparability, and relevance of research data. In this volume, we present a unique collection of papers that address past, present and future issues of the pH of healthy and diseased skin. It is hoped that this collection will foster future efforts in clinical and experimental skin research.

Book Description
You will save hundreds of dollars in your lifetime while maintaining your skin with the knowledge in this book. This is the only and the first beauty book that introduces the unique proven Restore + Target Skin Care Routine. Do you find yourself overwhelmed with too much information, and too many skin care products? Unable to identify and solve your skin problems despite spending so much money and time? If you are going to buy a skin care product, how do you start? Commonly, you are trained to ask “What is my skin type?”, is it dry, oily, combination or sensitive? It could very well be all the four. You could have acne on the cheeks, oilier nose area, with the rest of the face dry and sensitive. So what do you do? Using basic skin care products such as an “acne cleanser”, “dry skin moisturizer” or “oily skin serum” is not the best approach. Using an “acne cleanser” on non-acne areas or applying "dry skin moisturizer" on non-dry areas of the face, causes more damage. It is neither practical to be buying and applying 2-4 different cleansers on the face daily. This cycle is one of the main reasons why our skin problems just do not end. The solution You do not need to know what your skin type is, or be confused about it, because the question really should be; “is my skin’s pH balanced?” If it is, you will have healthy beautiful skin. If it is not, you will have skin problems, be it dryness, sensitiveness, acne or excess oil etc. This book is going to help you cut through the noise in a simplified non-technical way, so you can immediately understand how to balance the pH of your skin.
