The PH of your skin will actually correct itself within about 30 mins of putting on a low/high Ph product however the damage can take a while to correct itself - usually a month or so. Having had a look at what you are currently using on your skin you are using quite a lot of products, including quite a bit of exfoliation. I would suggest trying to simplify your routine a bit - try to stick to a cleanser, one product for pore cleansing/gentle exfoliation and just use the Emu/Camellia mixed with the HA for a while - your skin may feel a bit dryer initially but it *will* soon adjust. Try to cut out the commercial moisturisers if you can at least for a while - you may find you don't need them!!
What acids are you using? Lactic acid is well tolerated and will actually attract moisture to your skin you could also try Mandelic Acid fromwww.skincarecentral.biz (lowest strength first)- its fantastic for keeping pores clear, exfoliation and contains Lactic acid too which will, as I say, attract the moisture to your skin.The Skincarecentral version I believe is alcohol free so will not dry your skin out. As a bonus its supposed to be good for pigmentation too!
I see from your signature you have an acne prone skin that is easily irritated - its easy to over treat this type of skin - treating the acne then having to treat the issues the acne treatments have caused and it becomes a bit of an ongoing cycle. I would really try to go back to basics for a while and allow your skin to find its own balance.

I do facials....and really everyone's skin is dehydrated. You could have the most oily skin and drink 10 gallons of water a day and still be dehydrated. Here are a list of reasons....caffeine, flying, cleansing with too hot water or a harsh cleanser, alcohol, smoking...smoke in the air...not using moisturizer, the weather, heat or air conditioning....so I betcha that everyone has experienced at least one of these everyday making thier skin dehydrated. |

That makes a lot of sense... just can't avoid all of those factors. |
