7 Simple Steps to Protect Your Microbiome
We know that a healthy microbiome is the foundation of strong, resilient skin. Your skin is home to billions of tiny organisms that protect, balance and support your overall wellbeing. Nurturing this invisible ecosystem is one of the kindest things you can do for your body. And it’s possible!
Here are seven steps to help protect your skin’s microbiome:
1. Choose gentle cleansers
Harsh soaps strip away natural oils and disrupt the delicate balance of your skin. Opt for mild, microbiome-optimised washes.
2. Avoid harsh chemicals
Synthetic fragrances, parabens, and sulphates can upset the microbiome. Pure Beginnings ingredients and formulas are third party verified for safety, giving you peace of mind.
3. Stay moisturised
A hydrated skin barrier is a healthy one. Nourish your skin with a natural body lotion to lock in moisture and support microbial diversity.
4. Don’t use antibacterial products
Using antibacterial soaps and sanitizers easily wipe out good bacteria. When you need to cleanse, stick to gentle, microbiome-friendly options.
5. Eat for your skin
Your gut and skin microbiomes are connected. A diet rich in fibre, fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods supports both from the inside out.
6. Embrace nature
Fresh air, sunshine, and contact with natural environments encourage a diverse microbiome. Let your little ones play barefoot on the grass and get dirty. It’s good for them!
7. Start from the beginning
The earlier we protect our microbiome, the better. Our Sensitive Baby Ultra Gentle Cream Wash and Body Cream are specially formulated to care for the most delicate skin and developing microbiomes.
