Beautician Roseli Siqueira clarifies the main doubts about these assets
Surely, you’ve heard about the health benefits of probiotics and prebiotics, right? But, did you know that in addition to helping the body to function properly, they are also good for the skin? We are not talking about anything related to food, but they have been transformed into active ingredients that are applied to the skin. I clarify everything you need to know about this subject; check below.

After all, what is the difference between probiotics and prebiotics?
The first deals with living microorganisms, while the second is defined as a kind of carbohydrate, mainly fibers, which are not digestible and which stimulate the growth and/or activity of bacteria, and for this reason they work so well together.
How it works on the skin
The function of both is to improve the skin’s microbiota, that is, they keep the PH of the dermis balanced, strengthening and protecting our skin barrier, reducing damage, such as dehydration, irritation and the proliferation of bad microorganisms. Furthermore, these components can/should be used on all skin types, including acne sufferers, since the good bacteria are also responsible for helping to fight this problem.
Where to find?
They can be extracted from different sources, such as coconut and pumpkin, and can also be found in more than one type of texture, that is, in lotions, oils, serums and creams. My indication is to look for more liquid formulas, which are easily absorbed and do not leave the skin oily. In addition, the other components of the products also make a difference, so look for combinations rich in vitamins A, C, E, amino acids and antioxidants.
And how should they be used?
As their main function is to protect and nourish the skin, it is interesting to use them before applying creams and other products that are part of your skincare routine. The ideal is to wash your face with lukewarm/cold water, apply a neutral liquid soap and only then apply the product. Important: wait a few seconds for absorption. In that time, the assets will help to awaken the cells, activate the metabolism and open the way for the other stages of your routine. It is worth remembering that the product can be reapplied during the day, especially those in spray versions.
