Skincare routines have evolved over the years, and probiotics are making a big splash with healthy skin enthusiasts.
Chapter Overview
Skin Care for Any Age
Most people choose from two standard methods of approaching skin care: either sticking with trusted brands you have used and like, or (alternately) finding specific products that target your current problems. This way of choosing skincare is focused mostly on treating immediate skin concerns instead of focusing on imbalances in skin pH, and your skin’s own natural flora.
Many are changing their opinion about what causes blemishes, dry skin, rough skin, and other unattractive skin qualities. Even lines, wrinkles, and sensitive skin might be caused by imbalances in the skin microbiome or the natural bacteria, viruses, and fungi that make up the flora on your skin. Since your skin is your first and foremost defense against disease, this microbiome is possibly more important than scientists have given it credit for up until recently.
By focusing on maintaining a healthy flora on the skin with probiotic sprays and creams, or prebiotic products that make an environment that is healthy for flora to live on the skin with, skincare for any age group might have a focus on maintaining the skin microbiome.
A new generation of topical probiotics has entered the marketplace, and they may be able to reset the skin’s microbiome to a healthy and natural state. This, in turn, makes any age skin more vibrant, with fewer blemishes or wrinkles.
Plant-based actives and living probiotics can be provided to your skin to provide the skin’s flora with nutrition to thrive, causing positive ripple effects that will make your skin glow. The new probiotic skincare that is available is an exciting revelation for many women of all ages, as well as men.
Keep Things Simple
The best part about probiotic skincare regimens is that the steps are simple, and it doesn’t take a dozen products to maintain the skin. Since the products often contain not only probiotics but also prebiotics, as well as “postbiotics”, which fight inflammatory problems. Since the products are meant to reinforce the skin from the inside out, a few key products should be able to maintain healthy skin.
Not having to rush out and buy multiple products when you have a particular issue is money saving. By using the same skincare routine to keep healthy, vibrant skin that is free of problematic blemishes, dry patches, wrinkles, and other things that would normally cause us to seek out various remedies, the entire process is simplified. It is a money-saving way to care for skin, as well.
Skincare That Evolves With You
If you focus on maintaining a healthy microbiome as your skincare routine, even though your skincare concerns as you age, your skin care regimen will never get more complicated. Even though you might be concerned with acne blemishes when you are in your early 20’s, a healthy skin microbiome should help you to have clearer skin, ideally. It should also help keep uneven skin or blotchiness at bay during more youthful eras of life.
As you age, and fine lines and wrinkles become your primary concern, the microbiome is said to help control the formation of premature aging. So, when you are in your 50’s, your battle to maintain good elasticity and fight lines and wrinkles will involve the exact same skincare plan – essentially making sure that the microbiome is healthy and happy. Many of the probiotic strains available in these products are able to influence epidermal skin cell growth, also affecting the quality of the appearance of those cells.
