Improve your skincare regime with Mother Nature's superfood ingredients and probiotic process
Probiotics are a fast growing segment in the skincare industry, owing to bountiful benefits. Healthier and more youthful skin that glows can result. Probiotic (or biofermentation) is the natural process that involves biologically-enhancing ingredients through the use of beneficial microbes in order to increase nutritional value and absorption capacity. Truly, similar methods to those used in making yogurt or kombucha.
Here are a few of the many benefits to this burgeoning smart beauty process…
During biofermentation, ingredients are broken down so that their nutrients and minerals can be more rapidly absorbed into the skin. These ingredients become much richer in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, peptides, essential 3-6-9 omega fatty acids and amino acids. This rich fusion of goodness is not only good for overall health, but also directly beneficial in improving the health of your skin. Your skin is your largest organ, so adapting the principal of topically feeding it good nutrition with toxin-free ingredients is highly valuable in the pursuit of aging gracefully.
Esteemed dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe shares her in-depth knowledge and research on the benefits of probiotics in skincare in her new book, The Beauty of Dirty Skin. She explains that probiotics—or healthy bacteria—act as a protective shield from external and internal invaders, provide calming effects or ammunition against bad bacteria, and boost your skin’s innate functionality. These effects ultimately help reduce inflammation, which in turn helps limit flare-ups in skin and prevents premature aging.
A focus on natural beauty products has gained popularity as consumers strive to protect their health. What goes on your skin, goes into your skin… and affects your overall health. Being conscious of using natural and toxin-free products can even be valuable in cancer prevention. As well, feeding your skin a rich fusion of goodness assists in collagen and cell regeneration. The skin’s cells need proteins to build collagen and elasticity, and require the ingredients to do so. Collagen supplements work to some degree, but because they are often freeze dried, their nutritional value is lowered. It’s preferable to provide your skin the ingredients to create it internally by your skin’s cells. This is the basis of the feed-your-skin approach, with the rewards of firmer, more radiant and glowing skin.
Harnessing the power of Mother Nature is the backbone of naturally-derived ingredients in recommended products by Nayelle Skincare. Key ingredients include…
The theory goes, if proper nutrition is applied to your skin, then your skin will take care of itself. Probiotic skincare combines the feed-your-skin approach with the careful selection of superfood ingredients to provide full spectrum nourishment. It’s key to achieving that firmness, radiance and glow… the stars of a truly effective anti-aging regime.
