“…However, the concept of skin health maintenance is bigger than anti-aging, not restricted only to the prevention of ageing and/or the skin care of aged skin but it takes into concern different skin types, conditions and needs of skin with the aim to keep it healthy. The basic elements of any strategy for skin health are cleansing, moisturization and protection from UV light [137]. Finally, based on all the presented data, additional compulsory element for any of these products should be a proper pH value.…”

Acidic pH of the skin surface has been recognized as a regulating factor for the maintenance of the stratum corneum homeostasis and barrier permeability. The most important functions of acidic pH seem to be related to the keratinocyte differentiation process, the formation and function of epidermal lipids and the corneocyte lipid envelope, the maintenance of the skin microbiome and, consequently, skin disturbances and diseases. As acknowledged extrinsic factors that affect skin pH, topically applied products could contribute to skin health maintenance via skin pH value control. The obtained knowledge on skins’ pH could be used in the formulation of more effective topical products, which would add to the development of the so-called products ‘for skin health maintenance’. There is a high level of agreement that topical products should be acidified and possess pH in the range of 4 to 6. However, formulators, dermatologists and consumers would benefit from some more precise guidance concerning favorable products pH values and the selection of cosmetic ingredients which could be responsible for acidification, together with a more extensive understanding of the mechanisms underlaying the process of skin acidification by topical products.

“…The pH of the clayey soils used for cleansing can also influence their cleansing activity. According to Baranda et al (2002), Korting et al (1991Korting et al ( , 1992, Schmid and Korting (1995), Gfatter et al (1997), Ananthapadmanabhan et al (2004) and Nash et al (2007), suitable skin cleansers must have pH similar to that of the skin or near neutral. Considering that the pH of healthy skin ranges between 4.5 to 5.5 (Korting et al, 1992;Gfatter et al, 1997) samples B1, H2 and H5 which recorded acidic and near neutral pH can be considered suitable for cleansing application as little chemical reaction is expected to occur when they are applied on the skin.…”

“…However, H8, H13 and H14 which recorded pH values > 9 can pose problems to the skin when used as cleansers. This is because highly alkaline cosmetic cleansers have high skin irritation potential (Nash et al, 2007) and can cause damage to the lipid bilayer of the skin's stratum corneum, leading to dryness of the skin, itching and after wash tightness (Ananthapadmanabhan et al, 2003). Frequent application of alkaline clayey soils for cleansing purposes is thus discouraged and moisturisation of the skin after the cleanser is washed off is advised.…”

Clayey soils used traditionally for cosmetic purposes in Oliver Reginald Tambo (OR) District in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa were studied and analysed for their physico-chemical properties. Forty clayey soil samples were collected from selected communities within the District and standard laboratory methods were used to determine their colour, particle size distribution, texture, pH, specific surface area (SSA) and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The study found that the colours of the samples varied from white to gray; and pH values ranged between 4.53 and 9.57. Majority of the samples were silt loam in texture. The SSA values were between 0.5 and 2.4 m 2 /g and CEC values ranged from 0.5 to 54.5 meq/100 g. From the colours of the samples, they are inferred to contain hematite and goethite which are present in many skin sunscreen and beauty products. The percentage of clay size particles in the samples were similar to those generally used in Thermal Centres. Their high CEC values may ensure skin cleansing through ion exchange between the clay mixtures and the skin. The physico-chemical properties can thus influence cleansing, sunscreen and body beautification roles for which the clayey soils are used.

“…This cleanser is best suited for dry and sensitive skin since it would not leave skin feeling rough and tight after cleansing [42]. The double cleansing strategy will help ensure that any breakout inducing irritants, debris, and makeup on your facial skin is completely washed away [43,44]. Moreover, a double cleanser is a smart cleaning strategy, but it is warned that using the same cleaner for both stages 1 and 2 is unsuitable [44].…”

What is acne vulgaris? A commonly diagnosed skin disease concerning clogging and inflammation of pilosebaceous units is called acne vulgaris. Mostly, adolescence and puberty are affected because of hormone and their daily routine. Gender is one of the critical factors to cause acne. Thus, excellent skin cares are needed to prevent acne vulgaris, leading to another symptom, including stress, low self-esteem, and depression. Importantly, due to our surroundings, there are many kinds of pollution that we have to face in our daily lives and cannot be avoided. One of the causes of acne is air pollution; air pollution can come in many kinds, such as UV rays, smoke, or PM (particulate matter). PM carries out small particles in the air that clog our skin's pores or UV rays that directly damage our face if we do not have proper protection, resulting in acne outbreaks. Treating these acne outbreaks can be a lengthy and challenging process. Therefore, this review was to provide and update the method to shield and resolving the fair facial skin among air pollution surrounding. The author conducted this review thought collecting the article from Google Scholar and Pubmed using these keywords, including Acne vulgaris, air pollution, treatment, adolescence, self-esteem, and protection. There are a few steps that will protect and help resolve your skin from air pollution. First of all, cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser is an excellent option to keep natural moisture in your skin. After cleansing, it is essential to use a gentle and soothing toner that helps remove grease and traces of dirt from blocking your pores, which might trigger acne. Scrubbing is the next step after the toner has been applied; mild scrubbing will ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed of all harmful particles clogging your pores. Facial oil proves to boost moisten and shield your facial skin from toxic air substances. However, for long-term using facial oil can cause irritation to your skin, another option can be moisturizer instead. Make sure to apply sunscreen to protect against both UVB and UVA rays and apply it multiple times throughout the day when you are exposed to the air pollution. In addition, high sugary, salty and fats diets have the relationship with acne vulgaris. People with acne must avoid these types of food to reduce negative effect to acne. The protection and maintenance of facial skin is significantly important to make our face healthy. Moreover, the perks of having clear and healthy facial skin can boost up your confidence as well as decreasing our stress and anxiety that are being released throughout your body.
