Inside and Out Secret to Healthy Skin

Clear, young-looking, healthy skin - nothing is more beautiful. But when you look in your mirror and see blemishes, acne and inflammation, you might be tempted to put a bag over your head before going out. If you want to avoid feeling like that, probiotics are great for your skin. Acne is a skin disease that is caused by pores that are clogged, becoming infected. It is the most frequently-occurring skin condition in the U.S. and anyone can get it, from babies to very mature people. If you are prone to skin irritations and blemishes, you’ve probably tried many products to clear your skin. A good product is critical because clear skin is a two-pronged approach. You need to heal and clear existing blemishes and you need to avoid future breakouts. There’s new evidence that suggests that probiotics can handle both of these challenges.

Good Bacteria Fights the Bad for Healthy Skin

You’ve probably heard about probiotics on television ads. They make your stomach feel better, but also play a role in your appearance. Probiotics are good bacteria that live inside us and help our bodies stay healthy. Without them, the bad bacteria take over and cause infections and illnesses, damaging healthy skin. Your skin is the biggest organ in your body. If you don’t have enough good bacteria, your skin, along with the rest of your body, gets sick. When your skin isn’t healthy, your clogged pores get infected, then infections and inflammations break out and your skin looks bad. Your skin is constantly regenerating itself, making new skin cells that rise to the surface and push the dead skin cells out of the way, sloughing them off. Your skin is also constantly producing sebum, a natural skin oil. Along with the dead skin cells and sebum on your skin’s surface, you have impurities from the environment on your skin. All of that can clog your pores. Add in the bad bacteria living on the surface of your skin and working their way into your pores and you have the perfect environment for infection. Your pore swells, reddens and becomes a blemish. If the infection is deep enough, it becomes an acne cyst.

Digestion and Application Lead to Healthy Skin

Probiotics that you eat and those you apply to the skin’s surface can help to treat and prevent infections for healthy skin. First, ingesting probiotics is good for your body because of the benefits they provide to your digestion. Poor digestion shows in the look of your skin. What you eat and how your body processes it is critical to good skin health. Not only do probiotics improve digestion, studies show that ingesting probiotics help to reduce the production of sebum so there is less oil to clog your pores. Although applying probiotic yogurt to your face may help to deliver good bacteria to your skin, a more effective way to do it is with Eminence Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser. It’s a clarifying cleanser for oily skin. The cleanser contains natural ingredients to help balance your skin and clear the oiliness without stripping moisture. Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser also contains yogurt to exfoliate, moisturize and nourish your healthy skin.
