A COZY BED PERFECT FOR COUPLES - At the end of the day what do you look forward to? A good night’s sleep. A relaxing time unwinding with your spouse. Or maybe cuddling in bed and binge watching your favorite TV show?... Get your best night’s sleep, every night We all sleep differently. That’s why we have a variety of different mattresses to choose from. Whether sprung or foam, every mattress at IKEA is designed to offer comfort and support at a good price. So you just have to find the one that suits your body and your budget.

There's a lot of misinformation out there from popular sources like the beauty 'experts' on Oprah's website, who makes claims such as: "Cleansers and toners are alkaline—hand soap typically has a pH of around 9 or 10, for example—because alkaline molecules bind to dirt and accumulated oils you want to wash off." and "Bottom Line: A claim that a product is pH balanced is more marketing tool than useful information."
I admit I used to think this way, until reading a post from Skinandtonics on the acid mantle, which blew my mind. What is pH, I need a refresher? actually, you know what, just google it. Basicity may be the correct term but it's making my inner spellcheck sense freak out and we're going to be talking about cleansers and their alkalinity so I prefer to use that term Interestingly, the pH range of 'healthy' adult skin is actually acidic, not neutral, and this is where all this science magic comes into play. [source: Natural skin surface pH is on average below 5, which is beneficial for its resident flora.] In fact, healthy adult skin is between 4.2 and 5.6, and men have slightly more acidic skin than women. The pH of the Skin Surface and Its Impact on the Barrier Functionexplicitly The article goes on to cite a study by Korting et al. [source, in full text!] which specifically tested the impact of using soap vs an acidiclabeledcomparativeincreaseddecreased"
Now just imagine all those people out there doing DIY baking soda masks and scrubs on their faces. Imagine the state of their acid mantle. Still not convinced there's a link to acne? In Changes in skin pH and resident flora by washing with synthetic detergent preparations at pH 5.5 and 8.5 (full text!) they tested specifically which bacteria were more vs less present while using an acidic (preparation A) vs an alkaline (preparation B) cleanser: So long, fabulous bouncy-foam Shiseido Perfect Whip. We had a good run. For those of you wondering if having a raised skin pH for just a few hours really matters, let's take a look at The Effect of Detergents on Skin PH and Its Consequences, which goes into more detail about the short-term and long-term negative effects of repeated (short duration) use of alkaline cleansers and even cleansers with a 'neutral' pH of 7. there are also long-lasting effects with as few as two washing procedures of 1 minute each a day You can see why this woman is my skin idol.
As I mentioned in my Skincare Discovery: Cleansing Part II (click) I follow Go Hyun Jung's cleansing method which takes me a hell of a lot longer than 1 minute! both a short-term and long-term effect no correlation between efficacy of cleansing and higher pHthe low-pH cleanser was just as effective at cleansing Yes, the pH of your cleanser really does matter. Your cleanser should be acidic, no more than pH 5.6; anything higher could compromise your skin and worsen acne. No, a cleanser doesn't need to be alkaline to be effective. And always do your research. 2015 update: After a year of living the #lowpHlife, I've written a post that explains the relative weight I give pH in my own skincare, and I also teamed up with people who have degrees in Chemistry to explain the actual mechanisms of pH using NSFW examples that would never be seen inside a classroom. You can check it out here: Mating Habits of Molecules: the Secret Life of pH And with that, we're done!
