Probiotics… Good For your Skin and Digestive Track
You’re probably familiar with Probiotics… beneficial bacteria that help give a boost to your immune system. These good bacteria are thought to act like anti-aging warriors in your digestive system.
As a result, probiotics are being added to foods such as yogurt and cereal in addition to being offered a nutritional supplement. Your doctor may recommend taking Probiotic supplement if you’ve recently completed a course of antibiotics.
Check out the selection of Probiotics offered at eVitamins.
However while the benefits of Probiotics on intestinal health is well documented, there are a rising number of products that offer Probiotics as a TOPICAL treatment because they’re good for your skin. It seems that probiotics act not only as anti-aging warriors in your digestive system but they can also fight aging where it shows the most: on your face!
As a result, there are a few breakthrough beauty products which include probiotics. Two of the hottest products are:
- VERATTIVA EYE CARE SERUM
This probiotic skin treatment contains a probiotic and ceramide complex, and natural oils (Babassu, Jojoba, Karite, Avocado). - Bioelements Probotix Anti Age Serum (1 oz)
This is an intense overnight treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. From early to mature skin, it eliminates evidence of skin irritation with an advanced formula of probiotic actives and hydrating ingredients.
According to dermatologist Dr. David McDaniel,of Eastern Virginia Medical School in the October 2007 issue of Prevention Magazine:
“[These topical probiotic treatments] seem to work like decoys to block irritants such as pollution from causing inflammation and accelerating skin aging.”
Probiotics are anti-aging warriors good for your outsides as well as your insides.

Thanks for the info about Probiotics. I took a look at the anti-aging serum you link to, how often should this be applied?

I’m still waiting for my order to arrive!! I would imagine that the recommendation though will be for daily use… at least, that’s what I’m expecting!
It’s pricey… but there appears to be a lot of evidence pointing to its effectiveness!
I wonder if anyone has been brave enough to only apply it to 1/2 of the face?

Did you know that the health of your large intestine is reflected in the health of your skin?

Thanks for your article. Actually it is very important to have the normal bacterial flora of your intestine. After an antibiotic treatment sometimes its necessary to take measures to replenish the flora.

absolutely. probiotics help things move smoothly in your intestines, so that toxins don’t get “held up” in there, making them more susceptible to a “leaky gut” kind of thing, and thereby releasing toxins into your body which could end up on your skin among many other places! ick. i use probiotics all the time and love them!
