3 Ways to Gently Support Your Skin’s Microbiome

By

Sometimes our skin can use extra support. It might need support after spending time in the sun, after a workout, or after a stressful day. And it’s not just our skin that can use extra support—it’s our skin’s microbiome, too!


We all have skin flora. These are microorganisms that live on the surface of our skin. When they’re supported, they help balance the skin. They can keep blemishes and redness at bay. They can also help leave you with a glowing complexion.

Of course, your skin flora doesn’t do this on its own. They can be supported by the skincare products you use. Everything from cleansers to the vanilla body butter you apply after bathing influences your skin’s microbiome.

Vanilla Body Butter

But not just any skincare products support your skin’s flora. Many products can be harsh and disrupt this flora. Thankfully, there are many ways you can gently support your skin’s flora while leaving it cleansed and moisturized.

Rely on Gentle, Restorative Cleansers

Some cleansers and soaps are made to effectively strip away dead skin, dirt, oil, and just about everything else on your epidermis. While these kinds of products leave your skin clean, they can also disrupt your skin’s barrier—and your skin’s microbiome.

There are better cleansers that take your microbiome into consideration. These include cleansing oils tailored to your skin state (like dry, normal, and oily). Cleansing oils made with jojoba oil and castor oil, for instance, help cleanse and restore.

You can also find gentle, restorative cleansers made with goat’s milk and shea butter. These and other ingredients cleanse your skin while leaving it soft and supportive—all without accidentally disrupting your microbiome!

Try Products Made with Microbiome Compatible Ingredients

Some skincare products are made with ingredients that are “biocompatible” with your skin’s microbiome. These are ingredients that can nourish your skin and by extension your skin’s microbiome. They work to help strengthen your skin’s natural barrier.

These ingredients are also usually derived from nature, like emu oil and ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows. You can find both of these ingredients in tallow balm—a kind of ultra-nourishing, skin-loving balm you can apply from head to toe.

Focus on Maintaining Skin’s Moisture

Of course, nourishing your skin and its flora is only part of the bigger picture. Supporting your skin’s flora also means keeping it moisturized. Body butter is one product that deeply moisturizes your skin and supports your flora.

What kind of body butter, you ask? Look for body butter made with tallow from grass-fed cows, mango butter, and shea butter. As already mentioned, this type of tallow is biocompatible with your skin. It is deeply nourishing, and so are mango and shea butters!
