FACT: We are all covered in bugs or bacteria, if that is easy if you to digest… Actually, there are millions of bacteria living on in our bodies and of course that includes our skin. Fortunately, these bugs work for us by fighting infections regulating pH levels and even boosting immunity, this is our microbiome.

Many of us take probiotic supplements to help to boost our gut health as it’s been shown that our gut (second brain as it’s affectionately called) and its health can impact not only our digestive systems but also problems like bloating, fatigue and skin issues amongst many others.

So, you could say that it seems like a natural progression that probiotics would make their way into our skin care regimes. Probiotics in skincare support your skin by protecting it against aggressors like stress, pollution, inflammation etc by strengthening your skin’s defence barrier.
