After reading about pH level test strips on one of Sesame’s blog entries, I couldn’t help but seek them out at Watsons.
A fun way to test the pH level of beauty products, each box of these universal test papers costs slightly under S$12 for 100 strips.
The pH level colour wheel determines the results. Anything below neutral 7 is acidic, while anything above 7 is alkaline. Healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH 5.5, so skincare products with this level are generally recommended to maintain dermal well-being.
This brings back memories of pottering about in chemistry labs during Science lessons in secondary school!

it reminds me of those old Dove advertisements where they put the pH paper onto the Dove bar soaps! Haha.
