“Probiotics are beneficial bacteria or yeast — organisms that offer multiple benefits to the human body,” according to Dr Roshini Raj, a gastroenterologist and founder of TULA, a line of skin care featuring probiotic technology.
Probiotics can come in many forms such as yogurt, Kefir, and supplements. These probiotic organisms actually can reduce gut inflammation when consumed and restore the lining of the intestines. But today, we are talking all about skin care!
I received the “4 Piece Deluxe Discovery Set” to review and I have to say it is a great deal. You get the Purifying Face Cleanser, Hydrating Day & Night Cream, Illuminating Face Serum, and theRevitalizing Eye Cream. It is kind of like getting a sample of everything before you dedicate your time (and money) to any collection of products.
The TULA line is fabulous and I will already be making an order of the full sized products. I do not know if this is the skin care product that I have been searching for or what, but my skin feels so smooth and more luminous and not to mention the moisturizer feels so light. I already feel like ditching my old skin care products and just purchasing this right away (oops, already did that, sorry Dermalogica!)
I typically do not like buying products from the same company when they are in a set, but this isn’t your average company like Proactiv for example.
My favorite item from the product line is the illuminating serum! As I am walking to class everyday in the 20 degree weather, my face can become rather dull and dry, but as I have been using this I haven’t had a problem with that at all. Aside from that I never have combined a serum and a moisturizer before because I thought it would make me look like a greasy mess, but when I use the illuminating serum and hydrating night & day cream together, it looks natural. It doesn’t look like I have anything on my face and my face feels hydrated and most importantly healthy.
Of course you could switch number two and three but that’s just the way I like to use it.
“The American Academy of Dermatoloy has called probiotics one of the new beauty breakthroughs as they’ve been shown to help with clearer skin, decreased skin sensitivity, redness, and inflammation,” Dr. Raj says. “You may also see a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and increased elasticity.”
Dr. Raj is a firm believer in probiotics and has since created this amazing line of skin care that I feel like I can actually trust and believe that it was made to actually improve the balance of my body. Interestingly enough, in Sanskrit, TULA means balance.
