On the journey of skincare, everyone must keep up with the times and constantly increase their skincare knowledge in order to better understand the skin’s need to cultivate a smooth and flawless complexion. As everyone gradually understands the benefits of Clean Beauty and Green Beauty, there is a new trendy keyword in the skincare world: probiotics! In the past, probiotics were mainly used for intestinal health, but what role do probiotics play in skincare? The following article briefly introduces the current highly discussed probiotic skincare trend!
Before understanding probiotic skincare, you must have a certain concept of skin microbiota. Simply put, there are countless beneficial, neutral, and harmful bacteria on the skin, including common fungi, viruses, and mites. These microorganisms form an ecosystem with skin cells and secretions. Under normal and balanced conditions, the skin microbiota coexists harmoniously with the human body and develops a self-maintenance mechanism. However, due to aging, stress, and external factors, the skin microbiota may become imbalanced, disrupting and damaging the skin balance, leading to issues such as redness, dryness, wrinkles, and enlarged pores in different skin types.
Maintaining the skin’s microbiome balance is the key to probiotic skincare. In addition to supplementing the skin with nutrients, it is important to promote the growth of beneficial symbiotic bacteria, starting from regulating the skin’s microbiome to maintaining and improving skin health. When used in skincare, probiotics such as cell extracts or metabolic by-products include lactobacillus, yeast, bifidobacterium, and micrococci. In addition, prebiotics such as α-glucan oligosaccharides, β-fructooligosaccharides, and oligosaccharides can promote the growth of probiotics.
Want to experience the benefits of probiotic skincare? A popular local choice is the Swiss-developed Clean Beauty brand EVOLCARE, which recently launched a 100% vegan formula “Probiotic Skincare Series” to provide everyone with daily skincare products that help balance skin microbiota, including the Harmony probiotic balancing toner that can rebuild skin microbiota, the Rosé probiotic repair essence that repairs and activates skin cells, and the Serene probiotic lightweight face cream that stabilizes skin microbiota.
The formula contains probiotic fermentation and various prebiotics extracted from natural ingredients, allowing beneficial bacteria to suppress harmful bacteria and maintain skin health. The “Probiotic Skincare Series” uses convenient individual packaging for immediate use, ensuring that fresh and hygienic ingredients are provided each time, reducing the use of synthetic preservatives.
