For a long time, it was reserved for scientific vocabulary. skin microbiota is today at the heart of the most effective treatment protocols in beauty institutes. A veritable living ecosystem, it plays a fundamental role in the skin's balance, youthfulness and resistance. For the Beauticians and the institutes, the Facial microbiome care becomes an essential lever for delivering visible, lasting and measurable results, particularly in anti-ageing, sensitive skin and adult imperfections.
Our laboratory professional cosmetics explains professional protocols in a salon.
What is the facial skin microbiota?
The skin microbiota refers to the collection of micro-organisms naturally present on the surface of the skin: bacteria, yeasts, and protective microflora. Contrary to popular belief, these micro-organisms are essential for facial health. They ensure:
protection against external aggression,
pH regulation,
the limitation of inflammation,
the prevention of premature ageing.
We often talk about microbiome to designate the global environment, and of microbiota for the micro-organisms themselves. In practice, in the lab, it is indeed the Skin microbiome that the care comes to rebalance.
Why is the microbiome essential for facial health?
Cutaneous immunity and natural protection
A balanced microbiota acts as a living biological barrier, preventing the proliferation of bad bacteria and limiting infections.
Hydration and radiance
He directly participates in the Good cell cohesion, promoting better water retention and a brighter complexion.
Skin aging and wrinkles
A weakened microbiome leads to Low-grade chronic inflammation, responsible for the degradation of collagen and elastin.
Sensitivity, redness and blemishes
Rosacea, adult acne, extreme dryness… these imbalances are very often linked to an altered skin flora.
Unbalanced gut flora: the visible signs on the skin
In a cabin, an imbalanced microbiome often manifests as:
persistent tugging,
hypersensitivity,
diffuse redness,
inflammatory imperfections,
dull complexion,
Accelerated ageing.
The main causes are:
overly aggressive cleaning,
over-solicitation of peels,
Excessive UV exposure,
stress,
hormonal imbalances,
unsuitable cosmetics.
What is a facial microbiome skincare treatment?
A Facial microbiome care is a protocol formulated to respect, nourish and restore the skin flora. It acts on three levels:
Prebiotics
They nourish the good bacteria already present on the skin.
Probiotics
They strengthen microbial diversity and improve skin immunity.
Postbiotics
They repair the skin barrier and limit inflammation.
This trio of active ingredients today forms the basis of Top-performing professional microbiome care.
