Probiotics :We are all well aware of the added benifits of probiotics in our diet; did you know that applied topically Probiotics may help improve your skin’s microbiome?
Probiotics are live bacteria that support the healthy bacteria in our body, we know certain bacteria are good for us, and when incorporated in our skincare , we see the bad bacteria die off.
A growing body of evidence suggests that using probiotics intopical form may help prevent and treat skin conditions including eczema, acne, dry skin, and UV-induced skin damage.
Certain probiotics have been shown to boost the skin’s production of ceramides, or lipids (fats) that trap moisture in the skin and keep acne-causing bacteria levels in check.
People with eczema have lower levels of ceramides, so replacing it can be very important. Applying probiotic skin care products may reduce acne outbreaks and manage dry skin and eczema.
Studies also suggest that probiotics can help battle skin aging. Our skin's pH increases with age, making it drier and allowing more “bad” bacteria to grow.
UV damage from the sun also impairs the skin’s ability to fight free radicals, which are normal byproducts of our bodily metabolic processes that damage our cells.
Research suggests some probiotics feed healthy bacteria to balance the skin’s pH and protect against free radical damage.
Skin conditions like rosacea and atopic dermatitis as well as acne medications like retinoids and benzoyl peroxide can impair the skin’s barrier function that protects against bad bacteria.

Spring forward this weekend, on the last Sunday of March as daylight saving time begins when the clocks go forward at 01.00 hrs.
The impact of this hour change enables us to make more use of natural light. The positive benefits of natural light are well documented, linked to improving our mood and general wellbeing. When exposed to sunlight our skin absorbs Vitamin D which is an essential nutrient for the prevention of bone loss and reducing heart disease.
Exposure to natural daylight can diminish the "winter blues", a seasonal depression which effects many of us during the darker months of the year, so getting as many daylight hours as possible can ward off these negative moods if effected. We all know how a fresh Spring / Summer's day can instantly lift our mood.
Natural daylight exposure can also improve our sleep and its quality, essential for our mental health.
It stands to reason that the more natural light available, the less exposure we have to CFL (compact flouresent light bulbs), associated with eyestrain and migraine, not to mention the dangerous amounts of mercury emmited by these CFLs.
Overall it is fair to say that for the reasons stated above and many more, we welcome the clocks springing forward, so take advantage and allow natural light into your home, pull back the curtains, open the blinds and get outdoors to enjoy hobbies, exercise, take in your local beauty spots and embrace the daylight.
