THE world of gut health might be growing by the day, but let’s not forget about the important matter of microbes as they relate to our skin. As a powerful barrier, protecting us from any number of disease-causing nasties, the microbiome living on our face and body ensures that our skin stays healthy.
Why not boost this natural process with a well-chosen skincare regime? Esse understands that your skin is essentially an ecosystem. With this knowledge, it has developed an extensive range of products, which combine probiotics and prebiotics, which do a brilliant job of maintaining, as well as restoring, the balance of your skin.
High tech, well-crafted products such as the Probiotic Serum and Hydro Moisteriser are not only a joy to use, but create an environment that allows natural microbes to flourish. The Sensitive Cleanser is a gentle but highly effective cream emulsion that doesn’t at all strip the skin and would be a great start for those looking to try the range.
Esse Probiotic Serum
For something even more luxurious, why not book in for an Esse Probiotic Facial – London’s first live probiotic skincare treatment. Offered exclusively at Skin Matters in Holland Park – a gorgeous, serene space that almost feels like a yoga studio – the Pro Esse Facial boasts a high concentration of live probiotic ingredients – over 50 billion, to be specific – that transform stressed and upset skin.
Esse Hyaluronic Serum
During a recent visit to Skin Matters one Friday evening, looked after by our brilliant therapist Sandra, we were treated to a wonderful couple of hours, undergoing procedures that left our skin deeply hydrated and soothed. After a thorough cleanse and exfoliation, followed by precise extractions and a warming mask, Sandra administered the signature Esse massage, which felt fantastic. Post-treatment mirror checking left us feeling quite delighted, with skin that truly glowed.
Other than protecting the skin, Esse should be admired for its commitment to protecting the planet. The brand is certified as organic, vegan and cruelty free, as well as operating as a carbon neutral company. Londoners are lucky to have access to their innovative facial treatment and should head to Skin Matters to find out for themselves.
