Many people remember how, when they were children, an incomprehensible slimy mushroom, also called tea mushroom, grew in a jar at their grandmother’s. This is kombucha, which is now considered one of the most fashionable and healthy drinks. But few people know that it is also an excellent probiotic product for the skin. EAOMedia news agency will tell you the details.
Why is kombucha so good for the face?
Its acid balance and beneficial bacteria work as a gentle exfoliator and strengthen the skin microbiome. Kombucha's lactic and acetic acids gently exfoliate while probiotics restore the protective barrier. It is especially good for dull, dehydrated and problematic skin. That is why this component is often found in professional cosmetics.
How to use kombucha on your face?
Use a fresh infusion of kombucha without additives as a tonic: wipe your clean face morning and evening or make compresses with a cotton pad for 5 minutes. Start with 2-3 times a week, but monitor the reaction.
Expert advice:
“Choose a drink made from organic ingredients, without additives. Pay attention to the color and smell. A pleasant sour aroma, natural color are signs of a quality product. Homemade kombucha is an ideal option,” says the author of the Zen blog “GlamPulse” (18+).
Important: before using any folk remedies, be sure to do an allergy test to exclude contraindications. It is recommended to consult a doctor.
