Our all-natural Probiotic Lotion provides natural rosacea relief. One of the most common questions we hear at New Harmony Soap Company is, “What do you have to help provide natural rosacea relief?”. Rosacea is a chronic condition that affects mostly middle age women with fair skin. Each year dermatologists see about 3 million cases. Common symptoms are facial redness with swollen red bumps and small visible blood vessels.
Just as they are said to calm stomach inflammation, probiotics have a calming effect on skin redness and irritation, like stubborn acne and rosacea flare-ups. Probiotics send signals that stop your skin cells from reacting to bad bacteria, reactions that cause, you guessed it, acne and rosacea, the American Academy of Dermatology reported in 2014.
Probiotics in topical products, like our all-natural lotion, can also act as a protective shield for your skin’s surface, keeping your skin healthy and putting a halt to future breakouts, the early research shows.
“When you apply a probiotic directly it can actually act as a barrier because it’s competing with the bad bacteria from taking hold,” says Whitney P. Bowe, a board-certified dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York.
“The skin is the largest organ in the body and when it’s compromised, then moisture can get out and bad bacteria can get in,” Bowe says. “Probiotics can help keep the bad bacteria out and the good in.”
