IT’S ALL ABOUT BALANCE ⚖️ Blemishes can be caused by changes in the skin’s microbiome, and with the ongoing uncertainty, lockdown and environmental stressors it’s even more common to experience breakouts that you wouldn’t usually be prone to…

MIGHTY MICROBIOME
The skin’s health is heavily dependent on its microbiome, the billions of invisible microorganisms which live on its surface. Changes in pH, hydration and environment can all affect the microbiome balance. Uneven natural flora can contribute to many skin conditions, such as dry, flaky skin and the formation of blemishes. Pro and prebiotics can be used to restore the natural balance of the microbiome and both can be found in our Balance Moisturiser. But what exactly are Pro and Prebiotics, and what do they actually do?

💚 PROBIOTICS 💚
Similar to the natural bacteria present in our skin, probiotics are living strains of bacteria that can be used to rebalance the skin’s flora. Probiotics intermix with your skin’s natural bacteria colonies to alter the composition of the microbiome. This affects the skin’s pH levels and helps to favour the growth of good bacteria, suppressing the bad. Probiotics can be extremely useful in suppressing blemish-causing bacteria and helping to encourage the skin’s natural flora for healthy skin.

💚 PREBIOTICS 💚
A form of carbohydrate, prebiotics act as ‘food’ for our skin’s natural microbiome. This helps to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria while blocking the growth of bad bacteria. Rebalancing the skin’s microbiome and reinforcing its defence against external aggressors.

Do you use Pro and Prebiotics in your regime?
