Judging by the plethora of probiotic packed supplements, foods (naturally blessed or added in), and skin care ingredients available-the good for you kind of gut bacteria-has surpassed being a trendy phenom-into a lifestyle must for a healthy GI ecosystem with potentially positive ramifications.
One very interesting company-COLUMBIA Skincare-has a proprietary formula of vitamins/minerals/botanicals that composes its well respected Restorative Hydrating + Ultimate Skincare Repair creams -to encourage the healing abilities and overall health of the dermis.
Recently launched--- is interesting-a Probiotic Concentrate and Complex-that contains active probiotics (Lactococcus Ferment Lysate – good bacteria ) in a stable format, and other proven skin helping plant stem cells, peptides and vitamin C. Both can be used separately or layered -with the Concentrate going on first.
We tried a sample-and both probiotic formulas are absorbed quickly-and are hydrating good for all skin types.
IMO-a little goes a long way though dry skin types-may want to use more.
Nutritional supplements are also big beauty boosters ...especially for believers of 'you are what you eat.'
YouTheory's shelf stable powdered SPORE (seed) probiotics...is one handy example of delivering effective amounts of good gut health-6 billion CFU+/per serving-in a stable form where it's needed-the intestines. Inside -a tiny scoop...the powder dissolves instantly-and has a barely there- vague milky taste if added to water.
