The skin's microbiota is an invisible but essential ally in preserving healthy, radiant skin. This precious ecosystem made up of billions of micro-organisms lives on the surface of your skin and plays a key role in protecting it from external aggressors.
But how do you look after this delicate balance? Here's our expert advice.
🌱 What is the skin microbiota?
Le skin microbiota is a natural community of bacteria, yeasts and viruses that colonise the surface of the skin. Its diversity and balance guarantee resistant, well-moisturised skin that is protected from irritation.
An imbalance in the microbiota can lead to redness, dryness, inflammation or imperfections.
💧 1. Gently cleanse your skin
The use of aggressive cleansers destroys not only impurities but also protective micro-organisms.
Prefer cleansing products that are sulphate-free, alcohol-free and enriched with prebiotics to respect the natural hydrolipidic film.
🍃 2. Moisturise and nourish with targeted skincare products
Creams rich in prebiotics and probiotics are an excellent solution for strengthening and nourishing the skin's microbiota. These active ingredients help to restore the natural balance and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.
☀️ 3. Protecting yourself from external aggression
The sun, pollution, wind and extreme temperatures are all stress factors for the microbiota.
Using appropriate sun protection and anti-pollution skincare products can limit microbial imbalances.
🥗 4. A diet that's good for the skin
Balanced skin also means a balanced diet!
Favour a diet rich in fibre, fruit, vegetables, omega-3s and fermented foods (kefir, yoghurt, kombucha), which nourish the microbiota from within.
💡 5. Adopt a minimalist beauty routine
Too many products = too many aggressions.
Prefer a simple routine:
-
Gentle cleaner
-
Serum or treatment enriched with pre/probiotics
-
Protective moisturising cream
