INGREDIENT

PREBIOTICS

FOR CALM

SKIN

Prebiotics are essentially

“food” for probiotics (the

beneficial bacteria that

live on skin and in the gut).

Prebiotics give probiotics

the nutrients they need to

thrive and keep potentially

harmful bacteria in check.

The purported effect of

prebiotics added to skin

products (often in the form

of sugars): a complexion

that’s more balanced,

with fewer flare-ups like

breakouts and redness.

LAB LOWDOWN: “The

ingredients used in both

prebiotic and probiotic

skincare are based on

research on gut bacteria,

and more study is needed

on benefits for skin,” Aral

explains. Want to try the

trend? She recommends

the soothing mask with

prebiotics below.

APRIL FRANZINO

BEAUTY

DIRECTOR

april says: Not all formulas are created equal. The label of an effective lip balm should

list two types of ingredients, says GH Beauty Lab Director Birnur Aral, Ph.D.: moisturizers

(e.g., plant oils like sunflower and castor and emollients like squalane and triglycerides), which

soften, and occlusives (such as petrolatum, beeswax or plant waxes and butters like shea and

cocoa), which form a protective barrier to seal the nourishment in and hydrate too. Above are

the Beauty Lab’s balm picks so you can find one in your favorite form.
