Probiotics have emerged as a revolutionary ingredient in the world of cosmetics. Just as in the digestive system, where probiotics promote intestinal health, in the skin, they help strengthen the skin barrier and combat the negative effects of environmental factors and stress. Discover what they can do for your skin.
A probiotic is a live microorganism that provides health benefits by helping to improve the good bacteria found in our body. You will find them naturally in fermented foods such as kefir, yogurt, pickles and other pickles… When these microorganisms (bacteria, viruses and fungi) coexist in balance, we speak of normal microbiota .
Prebiotics , on the other hand, are nutrients of the above and, in general, have the particularity of being rich in fiber . They are present in whole grains and in certain fruits and vegetables such as bananas, artichokes, green leafy vegetables, onions, garlic and soybeans.
SKIN MICROBIOME
The term microbiome is probably familiar to you, as in recent years, the intestinal microbiome has gained great importance due to its obvious influence on both health and various diseases . However, it is not only the intestine that has a microbiome. The skin also has its own.
The skin microbiome has its origin at the moment of our birth , as soon as we come into contact with the outside world . It is at this moment that numerous bacteria colonize it to develop our immune system and thus prepare our skin to face various external aggressions. This is how our first line of defense is born.
These bacteria, which are able to multiply and survive on our skin, form the resident flora along with viruses and fungi . They remain on our skin like an invisible layer , forming a protective barrier and thus contributing to its good health. In addition, there are other bacteria that do not have the ability to adhere to our skin, but are deposited on it from the environment and are there temporarily. In this case, we are talking about the transient flora that can be responsible for various skin problems or infections when the microbiome is not balanced and the resident bacteria that protect the skin cannot fight potential harmful germs.

When there is an imbalance in the microbiome, various skin problems can appear such as dry and sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis and even acne. |
