Increased use of probiotics for skin conditions Considering 10 percent of the population battles some form of mild to severe eczema, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD says many will consider beginning a prebiotic routine to ward away the symptoms. The idea is to help your skin maintain a healthy microbiome, which is the collection of natural microorganisms that live on our skin. When these are disrupted by breakouts, eczema or other issues, the normal flora is jeopardized. The use of prebiotics made of specialized sugars helps promote the growth of healthy bacteria. Regardless if you apply probiotics topically or take a daily supplement, the key is to focus on progress over time, as they begin to build healthy functions in your system.
