If you’ve seen microbiome skincare popping up as a topic on your FYP a bit more than usual lately, you’re not alone! We were curious too about what exactly it is and if we should be doing it, so we chatted with an expert to learn more.
Dr. Roshini Raj, co-founder of TULA Skincare, chatted exclusively with E! about what microbiome-friendly skincare is, and why this might be the next big trend to get in on early.
“A healthy, balanced skin microbiome acts as a protective shield, defending against environmental aggressors, calming irritation, and helping to maintain overall skin health,” explained Dr. Raj. “Microbiome skincare aims to nurture this community, ensuring the beneficial inhabitants thrive and help keep less desirable ones in check.”
Dr. Raj added, “TULA, for example, is well-known for its incorporation of prebiotics and other skin-balancing ingredients in its formulations to truly support and nourish the skin’s microbiome.”
