How Probiotic Skincare Balances Your Skin

The buzz around microbiome-friendly ingredients and products is real—and our new microbiome-friendly skincare series is here! From prebiotic sparkling water to fermented foods and microbiome-friendly skincare, we’re talking about beneficial bacteria. Pre, pro, and postbiotics are all good-for-health nutrients making their way into everyday products.

Microbiome communities live in your gut, your mouth, and on your skin—and they’re all connected. A diverse beauty biome plays an important role in overall skin health and appearance. And the microbiome-friendly ingredients in Celavive’s latest postbiotic skincare line promote hydration and visibly balance your complexion.

Help keep your skin’s microbiome happy:

• Avoid harsh cleansers
• Hydrate for your skin type
• Don’t let bacteria flourish, cleanse consistently
• Maintain diverse microflora
• Use products that support your microbiome and skin moisture barrier

Skincare Powered by Postbiotics

Postbiotics are a great way to keep your skin’s microbiome diverse and hydrated. Using skincare products like those in our Celavive Postbiotic line can give your sensitive, problematic-looking skin the hydrating relief it craves.

What Are Postbiotics?

Postbiotics are the by-product of probiotic bacteria fermentation. Fermentation is great for your gut—and turns out it’s good for your skin, too. The postbiotics featured in Celavive are stable, microbiome-friendly, safe, and effective to help build and diversify healthy bacteria on your skin for a happy complexion.

Why Postbiotics, Not Probiotics?

Probiotics are live bacteria that tout a lot of skin health benefits. But in reality, they usually don’t survive in cleansers, serums, or balms without additional preservatives to make them safe and shelf stable. USANA’s scientists choose postbiotics as the ideal solution for even the most sensitive skin types.

Postbiotics We Love

Our postbiotic skincare is formulated with phenomenal postbiotic strands that are well studied by dermatologists. These moisture-loving strains specifically thrive in dry environments.

Supporting Your Skin’s Moisture Barrier

Your skin is your first line of defense—its moisture barrier keeps irritants away. And because this barrier can be damaged from environmental stressors, unsavory skincare ingredients, and more, it deserves some extra care. Our postbiotic skincare works in harmony with your skin for a happy, well-balanced complexion.

Skin Moisture Barrier Basics

Environmental irritants like pollution, sun exposure, moisture-stripping ingredients, and other factors can all harm your skin’s moisture barrier. Dehydration can also cause visible redness and skin that’s uncomfortably flaky and dry. While an impaired skin moisture barrier can be frustrating, it doesn’t have to be permanent. The right products can resolve barrier issues.

Barrier Rescue Plan:

• Switch to a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin’s moisture.
• Read your skincare product labels. Look out for harsh or unwanted ingredients to apply cleaner products.
• Up your hydration products to include something like our Postbiotic Barrier Balm to help promote moisture retention.
• Take it a step further by adding both probiotics and prebiotics to your diet.

Better Skin Longevity with Postbiotic Skincare

Understanding the power of postbiotics can transform your skincare routine. Nurturing a diverse microbial community not only supports your skin barrier, it also promotes overall skin health. Embrace the science, choose wisely, and let your radiant, visibly balanced skin show off your thriving microbiome.
