PROBIOTICS
In the same way popping a probiotic supplement soothes a bloated, stressed-out stomach, probiotic skincare helps to calm inflammatory conditions like acne and rosacea. It’s all thanks to the ‘good’ bacteria they contain, which can help to speed up our skin’s repair processes and strengthen its barrier. A gentle solution for breakout-prone complexions, Gallinée Foaming Facial Cleanser, £15, lookfantastic.com, teams probiotics with exfoliating lactic acid to carefully remove daily oil and grime. Follow that with Green People Day Solution Moisturiser, £20, greenpeople.co.uk. It’s packed full of prebiotics, which will help your probiotics work even harder for you.
