7 Tips for a Healthy, Natural Summer Skin Care Routine

Summer is here, and the temperatures and humidity are rising, which can cause problems with our skin. You can avoid annoying rashes, sunburns, and breakouts by adopting a warm-weather skincare routine and adding a few simple and natural beauty boosters to ensure healthy, glowing skin during these hot summer months.

Hydration- It cannot be stressed enough: drink your water! If your body isn't hydrated from the inside, it will not be well-moisturized on the outside. Six to eight glasses of water are the recommended amount, avoid tea, coffee, alcohol, and aerated drinks; instead, opt for filtered water, natural fruit juices and coconut water.

The Science Behind Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic Skincare Explained

Muneaki Takahata, Ph.D., lead microbiologist and executive director at Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics/OM-X in Japan, explains the science behind Dr. Ohhira's topical probiotic skincare.

Probiotics nourish and support an individual's beneficial bacteria on the skin while protecting it from harmful bacteria and restoring and maintaining a healthy pH balance. While "living" lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are not present in Dr. Ohhira's skin care product line, a variety of plants, mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables are fermented for three years using various strains of LAB.

In Japan, we call the resulting fermented medium the "fermented extract." This "fermented extract" (which contains probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, bacteriocins, enzymes, and vitamin, mineral, and amino acids by-products) is blended into Dr. Ohhira's skincare products.

How Dr. Ohhira's Skin Care Products Support the Health of Your Skin

Your skin is a complex ecosystem that is populated by a wide range of bacteria that constitutes your skin microbiome. Many cosmetics and traditional skin care products disrupt the skin's microbiome and remove important compounds that regulate the health of the skin.

The skin is actually the body's largest organ and it has a number of important functions such as regulation of body temperature, moisture, excretion of toxins and the manufacture of vitamin D. The skin is also a sensory organ that responds to temperature, pressure, vibration and injury. In addition to these functions, the skin is also an important part of our immune system, which protects us from external pathogens.

Why Mosquitoes Like to Feast on You: It's Your Skin Microbiome!

By Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, PhD
Scientific Director for Essential Formulas

Have you ever wondered why mosquitoes like you so much? Mosquitoes seem to be more attracted to some people than others. Our ever-expanding knowledge of the microbiome, probiotics and postbiotic metabolites is providing some interesting answers.

The bacteria on your skin determine how attractive you are to mosquitoes which means mosquitoes selectively target people based on their skin microbiome. Your skin microbiome refers to the bacteria that naturally reside in or on the human body. Our skin alone is home to over 1000 different species of bacteria. After puberty, the composition of our individual microbiome tends to stay relatively constant, even with continuous exposure to new bacteria in the surrounding environment.
