The acid mantle is a thin, slightly acidic film on the surface of your skin made up of sweat, oils (sebum), and natural moisturizing factors. Its low pH (around 4.5ā5.5) helps keep harmful microbes in check, protecting your skin from bacteria and pollutants, keeping it healthy, hydrated, and resilient.
So, to keep your skin healthy you need to maintain this āmantleā with skincare products that are mildly acidic. But this is where they become a problem for your bathroom stone surfaces.
