And how to keep it in balance?
Do you know what the skin microbiota is and why it is critical to the health of your skin?
You may not have known it, but our bodies are inhabited by a multitude of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Together they form the so-called Skin Microbiota, a true natural protective barrier.
These microorganisms are found both within certain organs and on the skin, particularly at the level of theepidermis. Although their names may sound unassuring, they play a vital role in skin health: they protect, strengthen and maintain the balance of the skin's bacterial flora.
What happens when there is an imbalance in the skin Microbiota?
When the skin Microbiota becomes altered, it can cause discomfort such as dry skin, itching, redness, or dull, weighed-down hair. These signs indicate a possible imbalance between "good" and "bad" microorganisms, resulting in a compromised skin barrier.
Just as our gut needs nourishment to function at its best, our skin also needs support to maintain a healthy Microbiota.
How do we nourish the good bacteria in our Microbiota?
We find the answer by talking about Prebiotics and Postbiotics. What are they?
Prebiotics are natural substances, often extracted from plants, that nourish the good bacteria in the skin Microbiota, promoting their growth and helping to counteract the proliferation of harmful microorganisms.
Postbiotics, on the other hand, are derivatives of Prebiotics: these are inactive cells or cellular components that act as additional nourishment for the skin's Microbiota.
Where to find Pre and Postbiotics to nourish the skin?
