Innovative skincare is changing the landscape of what we look for in a product, let's talk the latest in skin biotic face care.
One thing we are sure of is the skin biome is not a trend, it is here to stay, so start reading, start buying and educate yourself on the biggest news this industry has ever seen.
The conversation is just starting on the retail front but scientists have been researching and aware for years.
Chelle from theskinbiotic believes THE, MOST, IMPORTANT, thing in skincare is your skin biome (the skin what..ome? ) .
THE SKINMICROBIOME is a pretty impressive family of bacteria that live on our skin. Actually for every 1cm of skin we have 1 billion bacteria , yup, 1 billion. These critters that are invisible to our eyes actually work with our immune system , our brain, our feelings and the appearance of our skin and generally how happy both today and in the future all these things are.
Pretty much they are on your side, they want to look after you and they are part of the way we are designed , they are good for us !!
Probiotics are big in the nutritional supplement area and that is great because what we put in our mouths affect these bacteria in our gut, the same way as what we put on our skin affects these bacteria on our skin.
If I was one of these bacteria I would be pretty cranky, preservative after preservative, too intense exfoliation after too intense exfoliation, water in plastic bottles, (had to squeeze that in), wrong ph , alcohol, the list goes on of things the biome does not find friendly. No wonder western women are defined by dry, dehydrated, ageing skin.
So what products am I looking for and what can I do to biome friendly my cosmetics cupboard? Uggh!! I hear you say, bacteria? !! Isn't clean beauty all about being clean?!!
“every square cm of our skin contains 1,000,000 bacteria and its these itty, bitty guys that not only affect the way our skin looks and ages but even the health of our body and the inflammation that is going on.”
1. Look for products that are either preservative free or labelled kind to the microbiome.
2. Oil based cleansers and oil facial oils are famous for the glow, I believe its because they often support the microbiome.
3. Drink lots of water, work it out , you need 50ml for every kg of body weight.
4. Look for brands that understand the microbiome and are ready to move with this trend that is here to stay.
