How Sunrider Encourages Healthy, Beautiful Skin

Your skin is an eliminating organ. It has been called “the third kidney” because the hundreds of thousands of tiny sweat glands act as small detoxifying organs, cleansing the body of toxins and undesirable by-products. Uric acid, the main metabolic waste product found in urine is also found in large amounts in perspiration. If the skin's pores become clogged and inactive, more of those impurities remain in the body.

The health of your skin cells, from the deepest layer to the surface, is reflected in the condition of your skin. Dead cells constantly slough off as new cells migrate to the top. Skin is very delicate tissue and needs moisture to remain supple. When it is in poor condition, deep lines and wrinkles can develop. Aging, poor moisture content, UV rays from the sun, and improper stretching of the skin can damage and reduce the collagen content.

Your skin is protected by a shield called the acid mantle, which is a combination of sweat and oil that regulates the water/oil balance in your skin and discourages bacterial growth. The acid mantle is slightly acidic with a pH of around 5.5. Using highly alkaline skin products can destroy this protective layer, leading to loss of moisture balance and conditions such as wrinkles, dry skin, infections, blackheads, acne, and other blemishes. Highly alkaline products can also stimulate oil production, and tend to soften and dilate the follicle, allowing impurities and bacteria to enter it and form impactions.

However, Sunrider products are balanced to the acid mantle pH to reinforce it. They tend to firm and tighten the follicle to help keep out impurities, and sedate the oil glands.
