HEALTHY SKIN STARTS WITH A BALANCED MICROBIOME
The skin microbiome is made up of millions of microorganisms living in harmony on the skin’s surface. A healthy microbiome forms a protective barrier against harmful bacteria and environmental aggressors. When the microbiome is disrupted, the skin’s protective barrier becomes compromised, making the skin more vulnerable to a variety of skin issues.
Nurturing your skin’s microbiome is crucial to maintaining healthy, soothed skin.
IS YOUR MICROBIOME OFF BALANCE?
Your microbiome can become disrupted due to a number of reasons. Some of the most common culprits include over-exfoliation, over-cleansing, harsh astringents or antibacterial soaps, using too many potent products in your skincare routine, and unprotected exposure to UV rays.
Signs & Symptoms of an Unbalanced Microbiome:
- Redness
- Irritation
- Breakouts
- Dryness
- Flaking or peeling skin
- Premature aging
SUPPORT YOUR MICROBIOME WITH POSTBIOTICS
Postbiotics are the key outputs from the healthy good bacteria living naturally on our skin. They are known to communicate with the skin's receptors to improve hydration and skin regneration, reduce signs of aging, support the skin's immunte system, and calm inflammation. Introducing postbiotics gives your skin all the microbiome-boosting end results of probiotics from the get-go.
A DERMATOLOGIST'S PERSPECTIVE
”Healthy skin relies on a healthy skin microbiome as disrupting the skin microbiome can impact the skin barrier and leave the skin susceptible to different skin conditions. The skin barrier works to protect the skin and helps to keep moisture in and external irritants out and when it’s injured, it can leave the skin looking and feeling dry, red and sensitive. For this reason, it is important to support the skin’s microbiome which can be done through the use of Postbiotics, which is incorporated into Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Collection.
Great for sensitive skin, this collection incorporates Alpine Rose Stem Cells, Postbiotics and Hyaluronic Acid to help soothe the skin, support the skin barrier and leave the skin feeling and looking healthy and hydrated.”
