The amazing powerhouse properties of the Restore not only feed the skin but support imbalances within the epidermal flora.
The skin’s eco system has its own unique community of microbes. These organisms need to thrive in an environment that has sufficient resources, so they can adapt to every skin condition and skin type. This can be beneficial for healthy skin but when they adapt to the wrong environment they can show symptoms of acne, inflammation, sensitivity, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, etc.
In fact, researches have found that eczema, rosacea, dermatitis, acne sufferers, as well as those with other skin inflammatory conditions are missing the good bacteria on their skin that help prevent inflammation, and have an overgrowth of various bad bacteria. Restore balances the skin’s natural flora and fauna and has antibacterial, anti- inflammatory, rejuvenating and brightening results. These microorganisms on the skin therefore improve and strengthen the skin’s natural protective mechanisms and maintain an equilibrium of good bacteria on the skin’s surface.
The 8 strains of live bacteria cultures in Restore work by secreting anti-bacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory substances that penetrate bad bacteria and kill them before they trigger an inflammation, whilst providing a protective shield to keep bad bacteria from reaching skin cells, as well as calming parts of the skin cells that want to react to the bad bacteria, thus stopping them from sending an “attack” message to the skin’s immune system that leads to redness, swelling, patchy skin, or acne-like bumps.
A single species probiotic is very unlikely to deliver as many benefits as a multi-strain probiotic, which colonizes and acts upon multiple locations in the body. Restore multi-strain formula works in more areas and provides better protection against a wider range of harmful bacteria, fungi, parasites, yeasts that may be present on the skin, and is thus extremely effective in improving skin conditions including eczema, rosacea, dermatitis, acne, sensitivity etc.
The probiotic live bacteria cultures in Restore also use different mechanisms, such as by lowering pH, to preserve skin health and to inhibit the growth of pathogens——an acidic skin environment is very important as it discourages bacterial colonization and provides a moisture barrier. When used on wounds, they can exert an immunomodulatory effect by inducing “wound healing-promoting substances”, such as cytokines and growth factors, and produce certain bacteriocins that can sustain a wound-healing process.
When used over a period of time, these probiotic live bacteria cultures can also significantly enhance skin elasticity by increasing self hyaluronic acid and collagen production, as well as reinforce the barrier function, and increase ceramide levels.
Restore is also fortified in Phytonutrients, also known as phytochemicals, which are chemicals produced by plants and are used to protect the skin from environmental toxicity among other factors. In addition, by incorporating the prebiotic ingredients of Baobab and Stevia Leaf, it gives substantial support to the epidermal microbiome, supporting and adding to the skin's flora and fauna, and with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits that provide amazing protection against a wider range of pathogens that may be on the surface of the skin.
There are no artificial colors or preservatives so the product is completely natural, it is not tested on animals. Each application of Restore provides the skin with five billion live bacteria cultures. The ultimate epidermal skin food - fortified in Phytonutrients, antioxidants and probiotics in a hemp protein base that not only feeds and adds to the skins microbiome but is incredibly healing.
Mix 1.5 - 2 teaspoons of Restore with a small amount of water and blend to a smooth paste. Apply evenly to the face and neck and leave for 10-20 minutes. For the first few times of use, we recommend 10-minutes application time. Before removing, loosen the mask with wet hands and massage for a further minute paying particular attention to areas of concern. Remove the residue with warm water or a face cloth.
