Natural skin surface pH is on average below 5, which is beneficial for its resident flora
TL;DR: Assessment of skin surface pH of the volar forearm before and after refraining from showering and cosmetic product application and the effect of pH on adhesion of resident skin microflora was assessed; an acid skin pH (4–4.5) keeps the resident bacterial flora attached to the skin, whereas an alkaline pH (8–9) promotes the dispersal from the skin.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The authors suggest that the GDCh recommendations for the claims »skin neutral pH«, »ideal pH« or »skin-friendly pH« should be revised and propose a pH range of 4.1 to 5.8 for the main body areas excluding the underarm and genital areas.
