Microbiome isn’t just relevant to your gut, and is the next big thing in skincare.
Your skin is covered in microbiome which is why it is so important to use skincare products that help feed the good bacteria on your skin.
Microbiome skincare relates to products that are filled with ingredients that don’t interrupt your microflora (good microorganisms and bacteria living on your skin) while probiotic skincare helps feed the good bacteria on your skin.
Essentially, certain products have probiotics added which feed the good bacteria on your skin. If your skin has too much bad bacteria is can lead to a range of skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis and making your skin more susceptible to infections, rashes and acne.
Your skin microbiome is affected by environmental factors (such as pollution, UV radiation, bacteria etc.) which is why it is important to use products that supplement probiotics. These probiotics can leave your skin glowing and healthy even when the environment is not ideal, yes, we are talking about you mask-ne (acne from wearing a mask).
The microbiome on your face is actually hard at work trying to protect your skin’s DNA. Scientists can predict your age (within a few years) from looking at the skin’s microbiome. This shows how important it is to look after your skin and to invest in skincare that is either microbiome friendly or skincare that is filled with probiotics.
