We talk about strengthening the skin barrier a lot and I know that might not mean anything to a lot of people, so I wanted to clarify...

Growing up I always had terrible skin. It was so embarrassing if I wasn’t breaking out everywhere, you could see my scarring. My face felt so oily. I was wearing heavy makeup at such a young age and little did I know, it was making everything worse. 
 
If you told my younger self I could skip foundation in my 30s, I wouldn’t have believed you. 
 
I started taking probiotic supplements in my 20s and it made me feel so much healthier. We heard about using probiotics in skincare a few years ago at a conference for skincare technology. They said this is the future and soon enough probiotics are going to be like anti-oxidants. In other words, in every good skincare product. 
 
So, we tried it. Let me just say, I felt like my skin was normal for the first time in my life.
 
The best way to describe it is that my skin was finally happy. I didn’t have excess oiliness halfway through a humid Texas morning. My lips stopped feeling dry and flaky. My acne cleared up. My scarring began to diminish. My sensitivities and redness totally vanished. 
 
My mom had rosacea. I remember being younger and wondering why her face was so red. Well, that has since completely disappeared and her skin looks better in her 60s than it did in her 40s. 
 
Continuing to use probiotics is like insurance that my skin is going to stay balanced. Probiotics strengthen the skin barrier. So no more worrying about your skin drying out on a plane or breaking out once you get on vacation.
 
Our probiotic skincare makeup basically trains your skin to behave like it should. It's all about a balanced microbiome and supporting the skin barrier. It's so easy for our skin barrier to get damaged, from the products we use to pollutants in the air. Skin barrier damage is redness, sensitivities, signs of aging... Pretty much all the things we try to fix. That's why probiotics are preventive. Healthy skin barrier = no annoying skin issues. 
  • Strengthening the skin barrier teaches your skin to retain moisture -> increased hydration -> more plump skin
  • It makes your skin less susceptible to damage from environmental stressors like the sun and pollution
  • Improves skin texture and helps with discoloration 
  • Boosts skin firmness and stimulates collagen production
That means you get smoother, calmer, younger looking skin. 
And that’s why we put probiotics into everything.
