PROBIOTICS + PREBIOTICS =
Working Together For Healthier Skin
Bacteria (or microbes) are vital to our existence!
People are often surprised to learn that we are basically walking petri-dishes. Did you know that we have 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells? This may initially gross you
out, but our skin is home to trillions of bacteria (both good & bad) that are our first line of defense against disease, redness, inflammation and infection.
Prebiotics serve as an energy source for probiotics..
Most probiotics are fragile, unstable ingredients that require care and special formulary planning
to remain effective in a skincare product. Prebiotics help by “fueling” the probiotics to be at their best, in much the same way as eating a healthy food fuels your body.
Giving the good bacteria on our skin this fuel creates a healthier environment for probiotics to grow in and enhances their ability to protect skin against environmental threats, redness and dryness.
They are beneficial to all skin types, from oily to dry, but are particularly useful to people with sensitive, acne or eczema prone skin, dry or cracked skin, or have been on a course of anti-biotics.
