Lately, the skincare industry has witnessed a significant shift towards holistic and natural approaches to beauty. One of the most exciting developments, is the incorporation of fermented ingredients, pro- and prebiotics in skincare products. These elements, which have long been associated with gut health, are now entering the world of skincare. In this blog post, we'll explore the world of fermented skincare, pro- and prebiotics, and how they can transform your skincare routine.
What is fermentation?
Fermentation is a natural biological process in which micro-organisms - such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi, break down organic compounds. This process not only preserves ingredients but also enhances their beneficial properties. In the context of skincare, fermentation has been found to increase the bio-availability of nutrients and improve the efficacy of skincare products. Another benefit of fermented ingredients in skincare, is that it’s great for strengthening your skin barrier and your skins’ microbiome (the community of bacteria living on your skin's surface). And we all know, the stronger your skin barrier and microbiome is, the better your skin can tackle issues like skin sensitivity, eczema, dry skin, transepidermal water loss, impurities, sun damage, etc.
Pro- and prebiotics:
Probiotics are live micro-organisms, and good bacteria that help to restore your skins’ microbiome. Prebiotics are the ultimate support for the existing good bacteria on your skin.
So, now that you know that fermented ingredients, pro- and prebiotics are good for your skins’ microbiome, you might want to incorporate these ingredients into your skincare routine. By nourishing your skin's microbiome, you can achieve a balanced, healthy, youthful complexion, and address a wide range of skin concerns. Your skin will thank you.
