If you might love Thanksgiving too much – it’s OK, we do, too – you probably have a little recovering to do post-megameal. To us, that means restoring balance, which is where probiotics come in handy. “Probiotics are beneficial bacteria or yeast — organisms that offer [multiple] benefits to the human body,” gastroenterologist and internist Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa tells Yahoo Beauty. If you’re feeling bloated and uneasy after a big meal, have some yogurt to balance you out. Meanwhile, the probiotics will be working in your gut to restore balance and simultaneously clear up your skin. Bacterial imbalance can lead to disease and inflammation in the gut and on your face, and probiotics can help maintain that crucial balance. “The American Academy of Dermatology has called probiotics one of the new beauty breakthroughs, as they’ve been shown to help with clearer skin, decreased skin sensitivity, redness, and inflammation,” says Dr. Raj. “You may also see a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”
But did you know that probiotics are helpful when applied topically, too? Raj says that this is an age-old Indian tradition. The day before their weddings, brides would do facemasks of yogurt and turmeric, garnering a healthy glow the next day. If you’d like to revive the tradition, opt for a yogurt with live active cultures. Changes she’s seen from practices like these are what inspired Raj to create Tula. Meaning balance in Sanskrit, Tula does just that for your skin. Her line of six products provides an easy way to restore balance to your skin on a daily basis, without taking any extreme measures. It’s a great solution for people looking to clear up and brighten their skin while simultaneously reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
