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.

Q


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.
