Kombucha is familiar from the fizzy fermented tea drink filled with probiotics, B vitamins and antioxidants. Kombucha is loved because of it’s good bacteria that balances and cares for our gut and therefore it’s considered as a trendy and beneficial beverage to enjoy. But in fact our stomach is filled with strong acid whose main function is to kill bad bacteria before it enters our system. Unfortunately this gastric acid doesn’t tell the difference between good and bad bacteria and that’s why the good bacteria from kombucha doesn’t necessarily survive the strong defence mekanism located in our stomach.
In skincare the kombucha will enter the skin more efficiently and magically brighten up your day (read face)! Our skin is more gentle compared to the gut, so it won’t destroy good bacteria entering into our skin. This means that Kombucha and probiotics have better opportunities to nourish and heal our skin when applied as skin care rather than flushed down from our throat. Kombucha has visible benefits of softening the skin and reducing the appearance of scars. Kombucha is loaded with beneficial good bacteria that helps fight bad bacteria causing skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.
