Our skin’s microbiome is an ecosystem of microorganisms that, when in balance, can protect the body from exposure to potentially harmful elements such as viruses, toxic chemicals and UV radiation. When the flora that comprise a person’s microbiome is diverse, it plays a vital role in immune system function and skin appearance.

When diets are low in nutrition and skincare routines use harmful ingredients (such as toxic chemicals, aggressive preservatives and antibacterial agents), the diversity of the skin’s flora is reduced, which can lead to a weakened immune system and undesirable skin conditions such as dryness, breakouts, redness and premature aging.

Look for products with minimal ingredient lists that are naturally derived. Avoid synthetic thickeners, parabens, sulfates, phthalates and synthetic fragrances. TruAura’s line of skincare, anti-aging products and makeup is formulated with natural prebiotic and probiotic ingredients that protect and nurture the user’s unique microbiome.

“Prebiotics and probiotics truly are like health food for your skin, because they help rebalance your microbiome, which is a major factor in your skin’s health, as well as your overall well-being,” says Daphne-based, TruAura Beauty Consultant Karen Watson. “We believe that nourishing the microbiome is the key to a healthy complexion.”

TruAura’s products are never tested on animals and they are made with clean, clinically-proven, high-quality ingredients that nourish skin as a healthy diet nourishes the body.
