The skin microbiota encloses the entire collection of microorganisms found on the human skin, including bacteria, and plays a crucial role in skin health. A healthy skin microbiota is in symbiosis, a beneficial state for bacteria and host. It supports the skin barrier by protecting against invading pathogens, educates the hosts immune system, nourishes the hosts skin and helps maintaining skin hydration.

However, antibiotics, diet, genetic predisposition and lifestyle can lead to microbiota dysbiosis, an imbalance among skin bacteria that is detrimental to the host. An imbalanced skin microbiota compromises the skin’s natural barrier function, is linked to dry and irritated skin, and leads to diseases such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea, which many people worldwide struggle with worldwide.
Today, there are no efficient, long-term and natural treatments for skin dysbiosis related diseases available. Current treatments, including antibiotics & cortisone, are no sustainable solution as they only focus on treating the symptoms but not the source of the disease and therefore do not generate a long-term effect as symptoms recur after end of treatment. In addition, current treatments boost antibiotic resistance - one of the biggest public health challenges of our time. Besides, antibiotics and cortisone can lead to severe side effects and new creams disrupt the individuals skin care routine totally.
With the help of probiotics and prebiotics, the “theskinbalance” face mask naturally, vegan and animal cruelty free restores the symbiosis of the skin microbiota by “transplanting” beneficial bacteria to the user’s facial skin. That scientifically proofed method helps to improve skin health by fighting skin diseases, increasing skin moisture retention and improving skin texture without the risk of negative side effects.
The theskinbalance face masks main unique selling point is its innovative probiotic composition that was developed by an expert in the field of medical microbiology based on scientific knowledge on the diversity of the human skin microbiota. A special feature of the face mask is that it is sold as a dry powder mixture containing freeze-dried probiotics, prebiotics and skin food. By the addition of water, the powder transforms into a creamy paste that is ready for application to the customers face. In addition, the water activates the bacteria from an inactive into an active state enabling them to perform their skin health increasing activities. As the mask is sold as powder and bacteria get activated right before use, the shelf-life is very long and no preservatives are needed. This is a huge advantage in comparison to competitors selling probiotic creams with very short MDD. As no preservatives are needed for the powder face mask, the product can be used by customers with very sensitive skin or highly allergic skin, too. Preservatives are known to be very skin irritating. The skin mask is an “add-on” product, wherefore it can easily be integrated into individual skin care routines. This is very important as skin disease sufferers rely on their verified products and are inflexible with changes. The fact that customers can stick to their established skin care routine and the mild and natural ingredients of the theskinbalance face mask prevent initial worsening effects of skin disease symptoms, which is a common effect with new therapies.
Larissa is a curious, creative and ambitious biologist with a special expertise in medical microbiology, a research field that focuses on the interaction of bacteria with the human host. She is about to finish her PhD and has gained lots of theoretical and practical research experience including the evaluation of scientific publications and working with bacteria. In addition, she is a huge skin care enthusiast and always on the cutting edge of new skin care trends.
Larissa has suffered for many years from various skin diseases including acne, perioral dermatitis and neurodermatitis. Doctors have treated her classically with antibiotics and cortisone, which has temporarily improved her symptoms but unfortunately also led to side effects. In addition, her symptoms always came back after the discontinuation of the therapies. Dissatisfied with her situation, she read up on her skin diseases herself, which she could understand very well thanks to her microbiological expertise. During her research on the, as she thought until then, different skin diseases, she realized that a common cause of all her diseases is a dysbiotic skin microbiome. Based on that finding she dipped deep into the field knowledge behind skin dysbiosis and started thinking of a way on how to rebalance her dysbalanced skin microbiota. A way of transplanting healthy skin bacteria back on the dysbiotic face skin were her initial thought. As the idea of translating her passion for medical microbiology into a product that can help many people excited her very much, the journey started.
