MODERNIZING YOUR MOISTURIZER:
PREBIOTIC SKINCARE
The stresses of modern life can deplete skin’s microbiome. Climate, ultraviolet radiation, pollution and lifestyle habits can all influence its composition , leaving skin stripped and more sensitive (stingy, tingly, generally grouchy…sound familiar?). That’s why next-generation skincare is bringing innovative ways of replenishing your skin’s microbiome to the table.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Essentially, prebiotic skincare turns skin into a welcoming and nurturing environment for bacteria. Concretely, that means providing plenty of moisture of course, but also trace elements and nutrients.
Here are some ingredients to look out for:
- Prebiotic thermal water drives the full spectrum of bacterial diversity thanks to rare minerals (Selenium, Strontium…), trace elements and pure MOISTURE.
- Ceramides simultaneously replenish skin’s physical lipid barrier while providing a source of carbon for bacteria to feed on.
- Niacinamide is used in petri dishes to encourage bacterial growth. It is also super effective at soothing skin, which is handy since inflammation is associated with dysbiosis (reduced bacterial diversity).
A modern-day moisturizer should be so much more than a straightforward barrier cream, acting at every level of skin to boost hydration, while supplying carefully calibrated conditions to promote microbial diversity. The result? Your skin is not only soft and hydrated, but also calm and contented too.
