What is the Impact of a Healthy Microbiome on Skin Health and Why Does it Matter?

Taking care of your skin microbiome is key to maintain a healthy glow. Beneficial bacteria can help strengthen your skin's natural defences against environmental aggressors, improve hydration, balance oil production and even fight skin ageing. By protecting and nourishing your skin microbiome, you can reduce sensitivity and inflammation, and promote a healthy and balanced complexion.

How do the microbiome and microbiota impact skin health differently?

Bella Aura skin care puts a strong focus on understanding and utilizing the independent roles of microbiome and microbiota in maintaining healthy skin. Microbiota includes bacteria, fungi, and viruses that are found in and on the skin, and the microbiome is collectively referred to as all of the genetic material of the microbiota. The microbiome can play a key role in skin health, as it is responsible for protecting the skin from harmful pathogens, aiding in skin immunity, and providing antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory components. Microbiota, on the other hand, influences the skin's protective barrier, hydration balance, and the appearance of the skin by affecting the release of fatty acids and antimicrobial factors. By cleverly combining skin nourishment and cleansing, Bella Aura products aim to protect the skin's microbiome while promoting healthy microbiota activity.

What type of skin is Bella Aura Skincare suitable for?

Bella Aura skincare is suitable for all skin types, including normal, dry, combination, and oily skin. It is also suitable for both mature and young skin. The range of products is specifically designed to nourish and protect the skin from the damaging environmental elements. It utilizes powerful botanical extracts and antioxidants that work to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and promote cell turnover while strengthening the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It helps to reduce discoloration and age spots for a more even complexion.

7. ENCOURAGE CELL TURNOVER WITH BELLA AURA The antioxidant-rich ingredients found in Bella Aura's skincare products help to promote cell turnover, which results in a more even skin tone, less wrinkles and age spots, and an overall brighter complexion.

How long will my Bella Aura product stay effective?

Your Bella Aura product has a 2-year shelf-life when unopened. Once the product is opened, each product typically stays effective for 12 months. The expiration date can be found on the bottom of the box (example: 10/31/25). When exposed to extreme temperatures, the product may experience a slight change in texture, but it won't affect efficacy.

Why is it that my reordered product seems to smell and appear to be different in terms of its colors?

When you reordered our product, you noticed a slight difference in both the smell and color. This is perfectly normal, as natural botanicals used in our products change over time and have their own unique aromas. We don't add any synthetic scents to our products - to ensure maximum potency and efficacy of the natural ingredients, we only use what nature intended. In this case, the final aroma comes from our Core Collection product, Neroli. So, no matter what the color or smell are like, you can be sure that you get the highest quality of our product.
