Can Probiotics Help Skin Disorders Like Acne, Eczema, Rosacea, or Psoriasis?
| 04Feb2020Did you know that your skin hosts trillions of microorganisms, both “good” and “bad”? Yes, research has proven that some of these microorganisms create a bacterial ecosystem to protect your skin against “bad” bacteria.
Probiotics also dial down skin inflammation, help protect against premature skin aging, and can help acne, eczema, and psoriasis and rosacea-prone skin.
The more “good” bacteria, the better, as “good” bacteria prevent the “bad” bacteria from taking over and wreaking havoc with your skin. But, strong facial cleansers and soaps can strip your skin of the “good” bacteria and can damage your bacterial ecosystem. The result? Your skin gets stressed out, causing your skin’s pH mantel imbalance, resulting in issues with acne breakouts, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis flares.
Benefits of Probiotics
Probiotics contain “good” bacteria to prevent “bad” bacteria from taking over; optimizing your skin’s healing powers.
For Acne Prone Skin, topical probiotics attack Propionibacterium acnes, which are the pimple-causing bacteria. They also help reduce the number of acne lesions from populating your skin.
Probiotics have Anti-Aging benefits. Some research shows that probiotics may help to build collagen, help skin hydration, reduce sun damage and improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Studies suggest that probiotics help with inflammation, a symptom of Rosacea, reducing redness and strengthening the skin’s protective barrier.
Gut bacteria and Eczema/Psoriasis are linked by inflammation. People with either Eczema or Psoriasis have higher amounts of inflammation-causing bacteria in their gut. Probiotics can help reduce inflammation and calm the skin.
There are many ways to take probiotics, either internally or externally. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kombucha, miso, kefir, and sauerkraut contain probiotics. You can also take probiotics via supplements. Some skin care products contain probiotics to apply topically to your skin.
