More and more people are pursuing skin health, from Clean Beauty, vegan beauty to green beauty and other popular skincare trends, revealing that we will see more skin-friendly ingredients and products in the future. The beauty industry continues to come up with unexpected skincare concepts, and skincare products made with probiotic ingredients have become popular in recent years. It turns out that probiotics can be used for skincare and anti-aging purposes too?
What is the relationship between skin condition and the balance of skin microbiota?
The condition of the skin is closely related to the balance of the skin’s microbiome. In recent years, due to the pandemic, there is a need to wear masks for a long time, coupled with the humid weather in Hong Kong, which further stimulates the secretion of facial oil. Lack of oxygen and excess oil on the skin’s surface can create a breeding ground for bad bacteria, causing an imbalance in the skin’s microbiome. When the microbiome of the skin and intestines is imbalanced, skin problems such as sensitivity, redness, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, oiliness, enlarged pores, roughness, acne, and uneven skin tone will follow.
Why is skin microbiome balance so important?
Pollutants, temperature changes, ultraviolet rays, and stress in daily life can interfere with or disrupt the skin’s microbiome. The skin’s microbiome is primarily composed of beneficial and harmful bacteria that exist on the surface of the skin. To maintain healthy skin, it is essential to maintain the balance of the skin’s microbiome, as it affects the quality, radiance, and overall health of the skin.

Adding probiotics to skincare products can promote the healthy growth of beneficial bacteria, allowing them to suppress harmful bacteria, rebalance the skin’s microbiome, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy skin. However, using probiotic skincare products topically on the skin can also avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract and affecting the digestive system. When the skin has sufficient immune power to resist sensitivity and irritation, skin problems can be improved as a result.
The upgraded all-in-one lotion can enhance the “inner balance of the skin”. It uses microbiological research and precise natural active ingredients to inject burdock extract, promoting the production of probiotics on the skin’s surface, helping to balance the skin’s microbiome. The added chamomile extract strengthens the skin’s natural immune system, combating the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms on the skin. By inhibiting the spread of “harmful bacteria” and balancing the skin’s microbiome, it allows the skin to return to its most natural and healthy state.
