Probiotic skincare
Your skin is powerful. It’s your first line of defence against outside aggressors, which is why it’s so important to keep it healthy with the help of probiotic skincare. You’ve probably heard of probiotics for gut health – the ones that keep the good bacteria in your gut healthy. What you might not know is that, like your gut microbiome, you also have a unique skin microbiome that’s different from the one in your gut. It’s made up of millions of bacteria and organisms that, when balanced, help to keep it healthy.
However, when it becomes unbalanced and the bad bacteria flourishes, you weaken your first line of defence – your skin. Using probiotics for skin in bath and shower products is an easy way to keep everything in balance and your skin performing at its healthy best. Carry on reading to discover more about prebiotic, postbiotic and probiotic skincare.
What are probiotics?
Just like your gut, your skin microbiome is made up of millions of bacteria and other organisms. Some are good and keep your skin healthy, and others are bad and may cause harm. Probiotics are, in essence, the good bacteria that’s found in your microbiome. Sometimes, microbiome skincare products will contain these probiotics to boost the good bacteria on your skin to help keep it healthy.
What are prebiotics and postbiotics?
Because the human microbiome is made up of living organisms, they need nutrition to survive and thrive. Prebiotics provide this nutrition for the good bacteria on skin, while inhibiting the bad bacteria to keep your skin performing at its healthy best.
Postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotics, the living bacteria on your skin microbiome. They’re jam-packed with nutrients that help to nourish and keep your skin in good condition.
Our range of Sanex Expert Skin Health and Expert Skin Health+ products include a proprietary prebiotic and postbiotic complex that enhances your skin’s natural process by protects microbiome and targeting the bad. This strengthens the skin microbiome, your body’s first natural defence system against external aggressors.
Why are skin probiotics important?
Skin probiotics – the bacteria that lives on your skin microbiome – are important to keep your skin healthy and functioning on top form. Keeping your skin microbiome balanced can help to relieve dry or sensitive skin, providing these conditions aren’t caused by underlying medical problems.
Using microbiome skincare products that contain the right nutrients to nourish the probiotics on your skin can help to minimise the risk of dry skin and irritation. In our Sanex Expert Skin Health and Expert Skin Health+ ranges, we have shower gels that help to lock in your skin’s natural hydration each time you shower.
