Test skin for acne tx and soon to have eczema, psoriasis – http://www.nakedbiome.com/ – approach to skin therapy leverages the power of beneficial bacteria on the skin to eliminate harmful bacteria and restore skin to a healthier state.
Dr. Jannine Krause’s Recommendations:
– Common soaps, detergents, antimicrobial washes, cleansing pads change pH of skin to more basic vs acidic. – Water is good to keep things natural but better to cleanse with acidic pH cleansers and follow cleansing with mother dirt spray or use a probiotic moisturizer
– Mother dirt has a great body and face wash too!
– Test your skin care and hygiene products with pH strips and see where they are at if you are curious – pH strips can be found on Amazon
– Play in dirt – go garden, do a Tough Mudder run, get dirty hiking, camping and playing in nature
