In addition, the pH levels in water can be damaging to the skin; the average pH level of water is a 7. The optimal pH value for the skin on the face and body lies between 4.7 and 5.75. A pH of 7 (that of pure water) is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and above is alkaline, so, skin’s natural pH is mildly acidic.

However, not all these products contain the same type and concentration of hyaluronic acid, which means they have different effects on the skin. To achieve the results you desire, it’s important to consider some of these factors when choosing a skincare product:</p><p><br></p><h3>Alcohols</h3><p>When certain alcohols are in skincare products, they can counteract the moisturizing ability of hyaluronic acid. They can have a drying effect which can reduce the skin’s plumpness and even lead to cracks forming within the skin; this hinders the skin-boosting ability of hyaluronic acid.</p><p><br></p><p>Smaller concentrations of alcohol are better for products containing hyaluronic acid. Sometimes ingredients are listed in order of concentration but they can also be listed alphabetically.</p><p><br></p><h3>Fragrances</h3><p>Skincare products can sometimes contain added fragrances. For some skin types, these can lead to skin irritation. If you have a skin type that is sensitive to fragrances, consider <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/sheer-hydration-body-spray-moisturizer/302990117066.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117066\" data-product-id=\"302990117066\">Sheer Body Spray Moisturizer</a> for your body or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.com/us/moisturizers/deep-hydration-48-hour-activation-serum/302990117004.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"302990117004\" data-product-id=\"302990117004\">Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum</a> for your face.

Sometimes, those skin cells can get trapped and build up on the skin’s surface.&nbsp;That can lead to: </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></span></p><ul><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Clogged pores</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Dark spots</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Rough skin</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Dullness</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Dryness</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Pronounced wrinkles</span></li></ul><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">So exfoliation can be good! It helps unclog pores, prevents acne, boosts cell turnover and allows your skincare products to penetrate deeper. But sometimes, exfoliating can be too much.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Without the professional guidance of a dermatologist, it’s very easy for you to over-exfoliate and aggravate your sensitive skin, which can leave it in a worse condition than when you started. Here are some great tips to help you take the best care of your skin when you exfoliate.</span></p><h4><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></h4><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Don’t Buy Into Every Routine</strong></h4><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">You may have seen words like “resurfacing” or “purifying” on your skincare products, which are important words to look for, because they indicate exfoliating ingredients in the formula. But not all exfoliating ingredients are right for all skin types. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Take a closer look at those formulas and you’ll see that they’re not all designed for daily use –– let alone twice a day! </span><em style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Especially</em><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> for sensitive skin.</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Get to Know Your Ingredients </strong></h4><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">So what are the most common chemical ingredients used to exfoliate sensitive skin?</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></span></p><ul><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and tartaric acid)</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">BHAs (salicylic acid) </span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">PHAs (gluconolactone, lactobionic acid, and galactose)</span></li><li><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Enzymes (sourced from Pineapple and Papaya)</span></li></ul><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Chemical exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs do a great job of removing dirt and impurities from your face, unclogging pores, and preventing future breakouts. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">If you have sensitive skin, look for PHAs in particular, which tend to be the most gentle and irritate skin the least. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">As for all those “acids,” there’s nothing wrong with using them in your routine, but it’s important to look at the percentages too. </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> </span></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Let’s take salicylic acid, for example. Some formulas range anywhere from 0.5% to 5.0% salicylic acid; however, if you have sensitive skin, you want to shoot for formulas in the 0.5-2.0% range so you don’t irritate your skin. </span></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">&nbsp;</strong></p><h4><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">How Do You Know if You’re Over-Exfoliating? </strong></h4><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"> </strong></p><p><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\"></strong></p><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 73, 120);\">Exfoliating can be so beneficial to your routine! But how do you know if you’re overdoing it?
