65
Q

Why can using a lot of face washes cause more acne?

A

Excessive use of acidic skincare products can disrupt the skin’s natural pH, which is crucial for maintaining its barrier function. These acids can lower the skin’s pH by the shedding of dead skin cells. This process can thin out the outermost layer of the skin, making it more prone to irritation and sensitivity. The disrupted pH balance compromises the skin’s ability to retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors. As a result, frequent use of these acids can lead to increased redness, dryness, and discomfort.
