Sequential Skin is proud to announce its biodegradable Biome Mask™ line designed to balance the skin microbiome and make your skin healthier.
The Biome Mask™ line has five formulas to target five skin traits. Each is infused with serums that target specific concerns and uses prebiotics and postbiotics to balance the skin's microbiome. All masks have been tested in vivo.
Made for all skin types
How they work
Prebiotics
Prebiotics beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria on the skin, and thus improves host health.
Feed your skin microbiome! Prebiotics act as good for the microbes on the skin, and allow good bacteria to grow and thrive.
Probiotics
Probiotics are living microorganisms that confer benefit to the host when applied to the body.
​
Because probiotics are live bacteria, it is incredibly difficult to preserve and put into skincare products (especially when skincare contains preservatives). In fact, some products on the market that say they use probiotics, are actually using prebiotics or postbiotics.
Postbiotics
Postbiotics are the byproduct of fermented live bacteria (probiotics) or inactivated microorganisms.
The process of fermentation releases nutrients inside of the bacteria and holds concentrated and nourishing skin health benefits that help to balance the skin microbiome.
