You’ve heard about probiotics for your body but what about your skin?

It’s a widely known fact that the skin is the largest organ our body has. It acts as a physical barrier in protecting us and is made up with a layer of cells. This complex ecosystem allows microorganisms to coexist, benefiting us in many ways. The microorganisms that live on our skin begins at birth during the lactation period when our immune system is developing. Environmental microorganisms also access specific areas of the skin and scalp, creating a symbiotic relationship between dermal cells and microbiota. This relationship is integral in protecting physical and immunological carrier against external aggressions.

The microbiota’s composition varies and is unique to everyone. The microbiota changes depending on the area of the body. Age, diet, lifestyle, medication and even the type of cosmetics we use are altering factors that affect the skin’s microbiota. Aggressive cosmetics in conjunction with the dirt we accumulate in our day-to-day can affect the skin’s barrier. Maintaining a balanced composition of microbiota prevents colonisation of unwanted bacteria. When the ecosystem on our skin is disrupted, it can cause the appearance of dermatological conditions.

In order for the microbiota to stay in harmony with the skin, probiotics aid its function and protects us from pollutants, free radicals and solar radiation.

What are probiotics and how do they benefit our skin?

Probiotics are a bacterial supplement that works synergistically with microorganisms and the skin’s flora. The can be absorbed orally or topically and have therapeutic and preventive actions. Probiotics strengthen the immune system and skin barrier to help treat/prevent conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and acne.

Take care of your skin with the help of probiotics

The key to maintaining soft skin with ample elasticity when deal with internal and external aggressions is keeping it hydrated. By keeping it hydrated, it helps to strengthen and reinforce the skin barrier. When the skin barrier is altered, it loses its ability to cope with external agents – dehydrating it further and exposing it to being sensitive.
