Abstract

The invention provides methods of dermatological basic treatment including the steps of pre-treating the skin with a composition that comprises a mild anti-microbial agent, a buffer that adjusts the skin pH to slightly acidic and an agent that forms a protective layer on the skin. This basic treatment has the effect of extraordinarily mild cleansing and sanitizing, restoring lipids, and providing a protective coating to the skin. Basic treatment may be followed by appropriate dermatological therapy. The invention further provides suitable compositions to be used in the dermatological basic treatment.
