Your skin microbiome lives outside your body, affecting the appearance of your skin. It can also help defend the skin against dryness, irritation, and damaging age accelerants. Without the right balance of beneficial microbes, unwanted microbes take over, which negatively impacts your skin's appearance. In other words, this delicate ecosystem is the key to unlocking genuinely effective skincare. A healthier skin microbiome equals more beautiful and radiant skin! 

What is the skin microbiome?

The skin microbiome is composed of millions of different microbes living on your skin. This includes beneficial microbes like S. epidermidis, which is known for promoting a happy and healthy skin microbiome by replenishing the skin barrier, allowing the skin to retain moisture. But it also includes unwanted microbes like S. aureus, which can break down the skin barrier and leave skin susceptible to signs of aging like breakouts, dullness, and dryness.

Why is your skin microbiome important?

When your skin microbiome is robust, your skin is guarded against damaging environmental factors that may cause signs of aging. You were born with a skin microbiome. At first, good microbes outweigh the bad, creating that baby soft skin you love. But as you age, beneficial microbes die out and may become outnumbered by unwanted microbes. This weakens the skin barrier, which is your skin’s first line of defense against harmful environmental factors.

To sum up, the skin microbiome helps:

• Restore and replenish your natural moisture barrier (your skin’s first line of defense).
• Reduce the impact of damaging environmental factors.
• Reduce the appearance of aging.
• Calm skin.
• Defend against dryness and irritation.
• Enhance moisture retention.

Caring for your skin microbiome can help your skin look and feel like you want it to.

Guard your skin microbiome and your natural glow

Microbiome skincare is all about creating an environment where the beneficial microbes can thrive while the growth of unwanted microbes is impeded. The problem is that some skincare products ignore the skin microbiome completely, instead claiming to “treat” signs of aging with cheap, ineffective ingredients.

There are 2 ways to defend your skin microbiome. Be mindful of what you put on your skin, as well as what you put into your body.

Avoid:

• Incorrect or overuse of antibiotics
• Harsh soaps and chemicals
• Overdoing it with skincare products
• Excess stress

Do:

• Hydrate – add Plexus Slim® Microbiome Activating to support gut health and hydration simultaneously.*
• Eat nutritious foods.
• Take care of your gut microbiome. Every day, researchers are discovering more about the gut microbiome, which is the microscopic ecosystem of microbes that live inside our gut. This microbiome affects how you feel, how you look, and how your body functions. It is a delicate balance of beneficial and unwanted microbes.
• Choose microbiome-friendly skincare.
