But how exactly do these good bacteria help your skin from the outside in, and is it worth trying out for your own unique concerns?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Find out by taking a closer look at the benefits of probiotics for skin and how to find the best solution for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-probiotic-skincare\"><strong>What Is Probiotic Skincare?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Probiotic skincare exists in a few forms\u2014including topical products and oral supplements\u2014to produce benefits for your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Probiotics are beneficial for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-microbiome-test\/\">skin microbiome<\/a> (when applied topically) and gut microbiome (when ingested, which then<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6048199\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> creates a domino effect to support your skin<\/a>, immunity, mood, and more) because they help to balance bacteria. For a quick refresher, a microbiome is a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7155096\/\"> collection of all microorganisms<\/a>\u2014bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.\u2014that coexist in a specific environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"bab3ad\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #bab3ad;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Topical-Probiotics-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Man applying topical probiotic moisturizing cream\" class=\"wp-image-25975 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-topical-probiotics-and-fermented-ingredients-in-skincare\">Topical Probiotics and Fermented Ingredients in Skincare<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Fermented ingredients are <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23286870\/\">beneficial for your skin<\/a> for several reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cTopically applied probiotics help to restore your skin&#8217;s microflora, which also helps to regulate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/anti-inflammatory-lifestyle\/\">inflammation<\/a> on your skin,\u201d begins Jennifer Martin-Biggers, HUM\u2019s VP of Scientific Affairs and Education. \u201cYour skin naturally has many beneficial bacteria. The pH level they prefer is around 5, but some soaps or harsh skincare products have a high amount of alkalinity that can disrupt the natural environment for a good skin microbiome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For starters, the fermentation process breaks down the composition of ingredients (such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids) into smaller molecules, which your skin can more readily absorb. The process also heightens the concentration of active ingredients to maximize their efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In addition to products with live probiotic strains, fermented ingredients in skincare include but aren\u2019t limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/lactic-acid-best-exfoliator-for-sensitive-skin\/\">lactic acid<\/a> (fermented milk)<\/li><li>kombucha (fermented black tea)<\/li><li>amino acids and peptides (fermented yeast extract)<\/li><li>sake (fermented rice)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>From there, you can find such topical ingredients in skincare products like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>cleansers<\/li><li>toners<\/li><li>moisturizers<\/li><li>masks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dietary-probiotics\">Dietary Probiotics<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, there are dietary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-vitamins-and-supplements-should-i-take\/\">supplements<\/a> that include strains with clinically backed benefits for skin, which we\u2019ll take a closer look at below.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>You can also integrate good bacteria into your diet via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/probiotic-foods\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> fermented foods and drinks<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>sauerkraut<\/li><li>kimchi<\/li><li>kefir<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d6997f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d6997f;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Benefits-of-probiotics-for-skin-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Closeup of person's skin with breakouts and inflammation before using probiotics\" class=\"wp-image-25976 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-probiotics-for-skin\"><strong>Benefits of Probiotics for Skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Probiotics can benefit your skin in a number of ways to address a range of concerns. Here&#8217;s a closer look at the biggest wins you can expect by following a probiotic skincare regimen.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-probiotics-help-reduce-acne-and-inflammation\"><strong>1. Probiotics Help Reduce Acne and Inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your complexion, probiotics are best known for their ability to promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/probiotic-for-skin\/\">clear skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>A range of factors can cause or exacerbate acne, which can lead to the proliferation of <em>P. acnes<\/em> bacteria in the skin&#8217;s microbiome. Research shows that topical application of the probiotic strain <em>Streptococcus thermophiles<\/em> can increase ceramide production and yield<em> <\/em>antibacterial effects that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2352647515000155?via%3Dihub#bb0055\"> inhibit the production of <em>P. acnes<\/em><\/a>, resulting in fewer breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Oral probiotic supplements also support clear skin by positively impacting gut flora. When intestinal barriers are disturbed, bad bacteria can enter the bloodstream and<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27554239\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> disrupt skin homeostasis<\/a>, which may manifest in the form of breakouts and changes in skin texture and tone.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, gut-friendly probiotics<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24322880\/\"> support skin allostasis<\/a> (the process by which homeostasis is restored) to mitigate inflammatory conditions like acne and generally support a healthy complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-probiotics-support-skin-barrier-function\"><strong>2. Probiotics Support Skin Barrier Function<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Probiotics positively impact<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-barrier\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> the skin barrier<\/a>, the outer protective layer of the epidermis that retains water and minerals while keeping out bad bacteria and other toxins.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Again, skin barrier function is compromised by using harsh, alkaline products\u2014including some that are formulated to reduce acne. (A healthy skin microbiome has an average<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18489300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> pH level of 4.5 to 5.0<\/a>, which is slightly acidic, while topical acne treatments often clock in significantly higher.)<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/can-you-exfoliate-too-much\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> Aggressive exfoliation<\/a> and certain medications can also weaken skin barrier function. Martin-Biggers adds that stress, diet, and other lifestyle factors contribute to your skin microbiome balance as well.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Again, several studies show that topical probiotics can enhance skin barrier function via antimicrobial properties and by<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18336739\/\"> increasing ceramide production<\/a>. Ceramides are an essential component of the skin barrier, serving as a glue of sorts to hold healthy skin cells together. They provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/healthy-fats-list\/\">healthy fats<\/a> to the skin to restore skin barrier function, which in turn promotes a replenished, clear complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-probiotics-protect-skin-from-premature-aging-and-damage\"><strong>3. Probiotics Protect Skin from Premature Aging and Damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As we saw above, the skin microbiome requires an acidic (versus alkaline) pH to thrive. As it turns out, the<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12880427\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> skin&#8217;s pH rises with age<\/a> through the stimulation of protease activity. \u201cProteases break down proteins,\u201d Martin-Biggers explains. \u201cOne protease, called elastase, actually breaks down elastin in your skin which, alongside collagen, helps form the structure of your skin. As they\u2019re broken down, skin is less firm, elastic, and prone to forming wrinkles.\u201d Since probiotics promote an optimal acidic environment, they naturally help balance the skin&#8217;s pH and work to normalize protease activity akin to that of bouncy, healthy skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In addition, an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-are-free-radicals-bad\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> excess of free radicals causes oxidative stress<\/a>, which accelerates aging and other forms of damage in your skin and body alike. Fortunately, studies show that oral supplementation of certain <em>Lactobacillus<\/em> strains may<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15294805\/\"> help slow skin aging<\/a> by boosting the efficacy of free radical scavengers and limiting free radical production.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This feature not only protects against UV damage and wrinkles, but also the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/anti-pollution-skincare\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> physical side effects of environmental stress and pollution<\/a>, such as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dry-vs-dehydrated-skin\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> dehydrated skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-you-use-topical-or-oral-probiotic-skincare\">Should You Use Topical or Oral Probiotic Skincare?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you want to reduce breakouts, fortify your complexion, and\/or mitigate signs of premature aging, probiotic skincare can be well worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As for whether to go the topical probiotic or supplement route? If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-digestion-works\/\">digestion<\/a> is off and you experience forms of GI distress, an oral probiotic supplement can work double duty to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/gut-skin-axis\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> simultaneously balance your gut and skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, it bears repeating that diversity is the name of the game when it comes to probiotics, so you may choose to consider both forms. After all, as we saw above, the benefits of probiotics for skin aren&#8217;t limited to one method over the other. Yet as with any addition to your skincare routine, it&#8217;s best to integrate one new product at a time\u2014ideally allowing for a consistent, monthlong integration\u2014to accurately assess results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6c5e54\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6c5e54;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Best-Topical-Probiotic-Skincare-Fermented-Ingredients-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman applying topical probiotic toner with fermented ingredients for clear skin\" class=\"wp-image-26045 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-best-probiotics-for-skin\"><strong>What Are the Best Probiotics for Skin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Lactobacillus<\/em> and <em>Bifidobacterium<\/em> are two of the most commonly used probiotic species for skin health,\u201d Martin-Bigger shares. \u201cThey appear to have an effect through mediating skin inflammation, providing their benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Several studies show that these types of probiotics are particularly<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3382699\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> beneficial for inflammatory gut and\/or skin conditions<\/a> via oral supplementation. (Tip: To go the extra mile, look for formulations that also include prebiotics, which<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6392846\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> fuel the potency of probiotics<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, most high-quality probiotics for skin and overall health will include an assortment of species and strains to promote microbiome diversity and allow good bacteria to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-topical-probiotic-and-fermented-skincare-products\">The Best Topical Probiotic and Fermented Skincare Products<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you\u2019re looking to add topical probiotics and fermented ingredients to your skincare routine, you have a range of options to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For a nourishing yet deep clean, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korres.com\/products\/greek-yoghurt-foaming-cream-cleanser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser from Korres<\/a> ($26). Prebiotic\/probiotic Greek yogurt soothes redness, combats dryness, and gives inflamed skin the TLC it craves.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For acne-prone skin, I recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dermstore.com\/eminence-organic-skin-care-clear-skin-probiotic-cleanser-8.4-fl.-oz.\/12901507.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eminence Organic Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser<\/a> ($42).
