What is sensitive skin?

First of all, you should know that sensitive skin is a skin condition that is often temporary, but which can become recurrent over time.
Although it often affects people with dry skin, it can also affect oily, normal and combination skin. Appearing mainly on the face, it is characterized in particular by redness, scales, roughness, tingling and tightness.
Unlike tolerant skin, sensitive skin will therefore react exaggeratedly to the internal and external factors it encounters. It is therefore essential to identify the origin of these phenomena, in order to avoid them.
Now that you know how to identify sensitive skin, let's determine its link with our skin microbiota.

 

Sensitive skin, unbalanced skin 

Sensitive skin has an imbalanced microbiota, called dysbiosis .

The consequences are numerous:

- skin that is more permeable and therefore less effective against irritants;

- a more fragile skin favoring dehydration, the skin feels tight and is less comfortable;

- the risk of inflammation and infection is greater , the skin reddens and can develop eczema and other dermatoses.

This is why we find more and more probiotics in cosmetics, but who are they really?

Bacteria that wish us well


Present since birth and unique to each individual, the microbiota (microbial flora) is all the microorganisms living in our body. You have probably heard of Bifidus present in certain dairy products? They are in fact non-pathogenic bacteria, naturally present in humans and beneficial to our health. These are commonly called probiotics . When ingested in sufficient quantity, they exert positive effects on health. These probiotics are now available in your cosmetics!


The largest organ in humans, the skin is our first natural defense against external aggressions. It is also populated by non-pathogenic microorganisms, ensuring the proper balance of the skin. They maintain the acidity of our skin and fight against pathogenic bacteria, vectors of disease.

Adding probiotics to cosmetics will therefore rebalance your skin microbiota. This will strengthen your natural defenses and allow your skin to better defend itself against irritants. It will be more soothed and the anti-inflammatory action of the probiotics will also reduce your redness.
