Probiotic Skincare Catches On

Are we really suggesting you put living bacteria on your face? The short answer is, yes! Sure you've heard of probiotics before, but chances are that had to do with some type of natural food or drink. With research into the field of probiotics growing rapidly, it should come as no surprise that the benefits of 'good bacteria' are beginning to spread to the beauty industry.

"When the skin is out of balance there is a destruction of the skin barrier which leads to greater dispersion of foreign substances such as harmful bacteria," Dr. Hynes said. "Probiotics have been shown to have a significant effect short term by reducing inflammation and infections; and, long term, have been shown to deter premature formation of wrinkles."

While they have been used for thousands of years, recent discoveries have led to a deeper understanding of the possibilities probiotics hold. It is no surprise they have become all the rage in foods and drinks, but only today are the dramatic benefits of topical applications being fully uncovered.

In fact, probiotics are so effective that many hospitals have gone from relying on antiseptic soap-scrubbing to washing with probiotic products and studies have suggested using probiotics on patients' wounds prior to surgery. The safety of probiotics--essentially good bacteria that every person's body needs both internally and externally--is so convincing that they are being used in everything from baby food to pizza crust to toothpaste, not just in yogurt.

One such company that offers a full range of probiotic moisturizers and cleansers is called SK1N Probiotics. Sk1n offers a wide range of products including body lotion, daily cleanser, moisturizer and hand cream. Check out Sk1n for sure, and be on the lookout for probiotic everything in 2009, as this is clearly a big beauty trend that is gathering steam fast.
