How Topical Probiotics Can Benefit Your Skin
The skincare industry has been essentially unchanged for generations. It has addressed skincare as a cosmetic and not as the essential health issue that is at its core. We look at skincare differently. At Columbia SkinCare we take at a more organic approach by incorporating probiotics to help balance and strengthen the skin’s microbiome.
There are different ways that topical probiotics can benefit the skin. In patients with acne and rosacea, living microorganisms on the skin are recognized as foreign by the body’s immune system. The immune system springs into action to counter this potential threat, resulting in the inflammation, redness, or bumps common with these skin conditions.
The Power Of Probiotics
In addition, Columbia SkinCare probiotic formulations have antimicrobial properties. Probiotics can create holes in bad bacteria and kill them similar to the way antibiotics work. In the treatment of acne and rosacea, probiotics can help fight harmful bugs from triggering inflammation.
A Calming Effect
Our research confirms topical probiotics improve immune tolerance by calming the parts of the cells that may want to react to the presence of bad bacteria that they see as a threat. Columbia probiotic skincare treatments act as agents that fight inflammation while promoting the healing of skin tissue and strengthening skin barrier protection.
We believe the use of topical probiotics represents an effective and more natural approach to the treatments currently being offered. Visit us at columbiaskincare.com.
