Alkessence™ Ionactive Alkaline Soothing Mist!
The key to healthy looking skin all comes down to balance – and whether you are suffering from skin breakouts, skin sensitivity, dark circles or wrinkles you can pretty much blame one major factor - it all comes down to the skin having an out of whack pH level.
I’m sure most of us have heard of the skincare term ‘pH balanced’ but I am pretty sure that many of us are not quite sure what that means!
Well the term ‘pH’ (potential of Hydrogen) is a scale that was devised by a Danish chemist back in the early 1900’s and the scale determines whether something (like skin) is acidic or alkaline. The scale goes from 1 – 14 and the more acidic something is, the lower on the scale it will be (1 – 7), whereas anything between 7 - 14 is considered alkaline. Water has a pH of 7 and it was deemed that the skin’s natural pH level should be balanced at around 5.5, but in fact, this makes it slightly acidic and recent studies show this is not ideal!
In the pursuit of balance and like every other organ in our body, skin performs best within a narrow, ideal environment especially when it comes to pH. When it deviates from that magic number it can cause harmful bacteria to grow, triggering inflammation and skin conditions and causing accelerated ageing.
Alkaline products are not a new discovery. The Egyptians have been bathing in salt lakes for centuries due to the positive regenerating effects on the skin as well as ionized alkaline water being the latest bottled water deemed an ‘elixir of life’ and favoured by many as the ‘new kid on the block’.
Gatineau scientists have been studying the importance of the skin’s pH level for decades and having partnered with global experts in water ionization, have uncovered a unique and patented technology to transform water into ultra-pure, extremely stable, highly alkaline ionized water.
At the cutting edge of high-performance skin care, Alkessence IonActive Alkaline Mist is a breakthrough biotechnology with a unique blend of essential natural minerals, to deliver proven, visible results as soon as it touches the skin’s surface. This innovative facial mist creates a natural defence for the skin, simultaneously reducing inflammation and detoxifying epidermal build-up from environmental aggressors whilst the high levels of replenishing minerals kick-start repair and stimulate regeneration.
