FYI: Fermented Beauty Products Are the Next Big Thing in Anti-AgingSee why the answer to fine lines and wrinkles may be living in your bubbly brew of kombucha |
Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut are probably the last things that come to mind when you think of beautiful skin. But these smelly snacks are packed with probiotics -- anti-inflammatories that help balance your gut and keep pesky skin conditions like acne and dryness at bay.
Don't worry -- you don't have to down vinegars like Miranda Kerr and Gwyneth Paltrow to get clear skin and that youthful glow. The newest batch of fermented skin care products, loaded with fruits, herbs and plants, will give you all the anti-aging benefits of kombucha without the sour taste in your mouth.
"Through fermentation, skin care ingredients avoid the harmful heating process that often occurs during manufacturing and makes active ingredients far less effective," says Melanie Palm, M.D., MBA, founder and director of Art of Skin MD in Solana Beach, California. In other words, since this health trend has crossed over into beauty, we can now feed our faces with super potent ingredients that are not only more easily "digested" by our skin, but better equipped to fight environmental stressors and signs of aging. Here, we present some of the best batches of fermented, anti-aging brews for wrinkles, dullness, saggy skin and everything in between.
