Probiotics in skin care products

Probiotic cosmetics for healthy and beautiful skin.
Our intestinal flora consists of around 100 trillion microorganisms. These bacteria are very important for our health. If our intestinal flora is out of balance, we use probiotic yogurt, for example, to rebuild the intestinal flora.
There are up to 7 billion bacteria on our skin that form the natural skin flora. If this is intact, we feel comfortable in our skin. Our skin can also become unbalanced due to various factors such as stress, environmental pollution or incorrect care. Without an intact microbiome, the skin is less protected from environmental attacks. This makes it easy for the “wrong” bacteria to multiply and attack our skin. Our skin reacts with redness, irritation, itching, impure skin or even dry skin areas. The balance of our skin's ecosystem is then no longer in balance - our skin barrier is weakened.
This is exactly where probiotic care products can help. By adding “good” bacteria (probiotics) to skin care products, the “bad” bacteria are pushed out again. The natural, protective skin flora can be rebuilt.
Skin care based on probiotic active ingredients is therefore a promising way to have a positive effect on sensitive, dry and irritated skin. The bacterial genus Lactobacillus is used in coeur de beauté's probiotic products . A natural bacterium that is also very common in fermented foods and is known for its positive effect in probiotic treatment.
