What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that are key to maintaining many of the body’s proper functions. Specific to skin care, the three most commonly used are potassium PCA, magnesium PCA and calcium PCA, each offering overlapping and unique benefits for helping keep skin feeling and looking healthy.

Do electrolytes help your skin?
Yes, applying electrolytes to skin helps keep it balanced, resulting in smoother, more hydrated and comfortable skin. Potassium PCA helps facilitate water pathways within skin, ensuring balanced hydration levels and plays a role in reinforcing skin’s barrier. Magnesium PCA also helps enhance hydration levels and visibly repairs skin, while also positively influencing how skin cells move through skin’s surface layers, how they shed and how skin responds to external stimuli. Calcium PCA influences how new skin cells are formed and how they move from the lower layer (dermis) to the surface (epidermis). It also helps replenish skin’s barrier and works as a humectant to draw and hold moisture in skin’s upper most layers.

Do electrolytes help acne?
Topical electrolytes don’t have anti-acne benefits, but when used alongside anti-acne products they can help address dryness or dehydration that come along with acne.

Can low electrolytes cause dry skin?
An imbalance of electrolytes can affect regular skin function and show up with easy-to-spot symptoms like dry, dehydrated or stressed skin. Consuming electrolyte-rich foods—think dairy, fruit, nuts and seeds—is important and applying electrolyte-rich skin care can further help improve water absorption and retention.
