    Probiotic Skincare? Expert Advice + Product Picks On The Latest Skincare Trend!

Probiotic Skincare? Expert Advice + Product Picks On The Latest Skincare Trend!

Easily becoming one the of the hottest new ingredients in skincare, skin-rejuvenating probiotics have found their way inside many new beauty releases lately. But if you’re a tad skeptical, gastroenterologist and the genius behind Tula Skincare, Dr. Roshini Raj explains the science behind this growing trend:

“Probiotics are becoming the latest trend in the beauty industry as recent studies are showing that their health-promoting effects extend way beyond gut well-being and include powerful skin health benefits. Topical application of probiotics also helps strengthen natural skin defenses, lower the stress level in the skin and re-balance the skin’s pH level. A healthy environment of the good bacteria helps skin fight against damage caused by free radicals, allergens and other environmental factors. By calming inflammation and acting as a barrier that forms a protective shield for the skin’s surface, probiotics are also effective in targeting wrinkles and skin-aging aggressors. They can also help to hydrate aging skin, improve its elasticity and reduce sensitivity and sun damage.”

So, are you ready to bring some skin-renewing action to your complexion? We’ve got ten products to help you try this trend easily. From cleansers to serums, any of these goodies will give you gorgeous, healthier-looking skin.

How to Boost your Beauty Routine and Improve Skin Quality

TULA skin care line #Tulaforlife
Lately I’ve been battling skin problems, from dryness to acne or uneven skin tone. Recently, Tula for life and Dr. Raj have launched a new probiotics skin care line at QVC and I’ve been blessed to be offered the chance to try the whole line. Probiotics are quite unique in skincare, very few products have this ingredient.

What is Tula and who is Dr. Raj?

tulā’ [ tulA ]: the sanskrit word for balance.

TULA is a healthy-living brand launched in July 2014 with a new skin care line that uses a patented probiotic technology, the first of a series of healthy-living products.

As a gastroenterologist who has dedicated her life to educating the public on healthy living, Dr. Roshini Raj realizes the importance of balance in all things internal and external. Not only does she teaches ways to find balance but she practices what she preaches while juggling her roles as a mother, wife, doctor, best-selling author, and media personality. She understands that inner harmony leads to outer beauty, and that feeling beautiful and radiant on the outside can improve how we feel internally.
TULA skin care line review
While I haven’t completed my 30 days regimen just yet, there are visible changes in my skin since using TULA skin care line. One of the biggest things I noticed that makes a huge difference to me, is that I have much less acne and fewer blemishes than normal. Also my dark circles are not as visible as they used to.

I found all the products to have a light and very appealing consistency, they do a great job at keeping skin fresh and smooth. I think the line works really well and its results are […]

    What Do You Need To Know About Ebola? Dr. Roshini Raj Breaks It Down For Carson Daly

What Do You Need To Know About Ebola? Dr. Roshini Raj Breaks It Down For Carson Daly

By Sarah Carroll

If you’re anything like us, then you’ve been washing your hands like crazy and side-eyeing your co-workers every time they cough because the ebola outbreak is no joke.

Eight people here in the United States have been infected and one patient passed away from the virus, and if you’ve watched the news lately, they make it sound like it’s only a matter of time until it spreads throughout the rest of the country.

But is it time to panic? Should you cancel all your travel plans and avoid public gatherings?

Carson called up Dr. Roshini Raj, a board-certified gastroenterologist and internist who works as an attending physician at NYU Medical Center/Tisch Hospital and an assistant professor at the NYU School of Medicine, to get some answers.

What have we learned about ebola since it started spreading in the United States?

I think we’ve learned a lot from the recent experience with Thomas Duncan in Dallas because he actually was exposed to several people and we got the good news recently that other than the healthcare workers, the other people, civilians I’ll call them, none of them became infected. So I think for the general population, this is not something that we need to panic about. I do think healthcare workers, however, like myself, and other people, nurses, people that are on the front lines of hospitals, they need to be definitely fully trained and up-to-date on the latest CDC recommendations on how to take care of themselves.

How hard is it to contract the ebola virus?

You have to remember that the people that get sick by being in contact with ebola patients, it’s when the patients are really sick and they’re coming into very close contact. That’s not going to happen […]

TULA Skin Care Review and Giveaway

***See below for a huge giveaway valued at about $200!

I was recently sent some products to try out from TULA which is a line of skincare products. I was sent the Purifying Face Cleanser, Illuminating Face Serum, Revitalizing Eye Cream and the Hydrating Day and Night Cream to try out. I had not heard of this line until now and was excited to try it out.

As I recently wrote about, I have very dry skin and hair. I am constantly using moisturizing products to help hydrate my skin. I drink a lot of water. I take care of myself yet I still always have very dry skin. I was excited to try these products out as they are supposed to help with dry skin. They can also help with fine lines and wrinkles.

 Tula means balance. The concept of this line of products is that we need to take care of our insides in order to look good on the outside. Also that feeling good on the outside can help us feel good on the inside. The co-founder of the line is Dr. Roshini Raj, a gastroenterologist and internist.
This line uses probiotics which I love since I make sure to eat probiotics often (found in yogurt, probiotic supplements, sauerkraut, etc.). Studies show that the topical use of probiotics stimulates the skin’s protective mechanism and improves moisture and the balance of good bacteria on the skin. It can also help to prevent acne and UV damage as well as increase elasticity and produce more collagen. Tula products can be purchased on QVC.

 
As a new mom, I am busy and do not have as much time for myself. Luckily, these products are quick to use and provide great results. […]

    My NEW Skincare Routine and Review/Giveaway ft. TULA #tulaforlife

My NEW Skincare Routine and Review/Giveaway ft. TULA #tulaforlife

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared my skincare routine and over the summer my skin was not in the best condition. I feel like my skin is slowly transitioning from normal to combination oily and I haven’t been great on trying to keep it under control until I was introduced to TULA. If I could describe this brand in one word, I would say it feels “luxurious” on my skin. I’ve had great improvements on my skin since using it and the best part about this video review/demo is that it is also a giveaway! More details on how to enter below. Some brief info on Tula for those of you that haven’t heard of it yet, it is currently sold exclusively on QVC http://qvc.co/1rVf6Yi

#Tula4Life 30 Day Skincare Challenge + Giveaway!

When Sverve asked me if I wanted to take part in a 30 day skincare challenge, I was like…um, yes. Yes, I do. I sweat a ridiculous amount and maybe, potentially don’t shower immediately after every workout (sometimes bacon comes first), so I know that I need to establish a skincare routine. I have interesting skin – it’s combination which means I get all the fun of dry skin along with an oily T zone. Yay, me! note: I was compensated for this post, but my skincare issues and thoughts are alllll mine, trust me. So what is Tula? Literally, Tula means balance – it is the Sanskrit word for balance – and the line takes that belief into everything they do. Dr. Raj, the founder is both a gastroenterologist and internist, and has been featured on all my favorite morning shows like The Today Show and on Doctor Oz. She knows her stuff – and y’all know I have a thing for female owned business. Smart women doing the dang thing = a win in my book!

With my skin’s…quirkiness, shall we say, I was excited to take the 30 Day Challenge. The first thing I liked and noticed (outside of the cute blue color scheme for the products) was that the products are made with probiotic technology. I know that probiotics are everywhere, but I didn’t really know what that meant, especially in terms of skin care. Here’s what I learned (source):
ProBiotic Dairy Actives and Yogurt Extract are rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates.

These ingredients help protect the skin against negative environmental influences. The Probiotic Technology promotes a natural balance, externally supplying nutritive elements to the skin and thereby helping to stabilize the skin’s […]

A Doctor Developed New Skin Care Line TULA

Dr. Roshini Raj launches products

Tula is the Sanskrit word for balance and it’s also the name of a new beauty line launched by Dr. Roshini Raj. In accordance with its Sanskrit meaning the idea behind the line is to maintain a strong connection between inner health and external beauty, which is a running philosophy in Dr. Raj’s work.

 TULA specifically uses a  patented Probiotic Technology, which is quite unusual in skin care products. The probiotic complex includes rice proteins, vitamins A, C, and E, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as white tea and blueberry extracts. What is especially exciting and interesting is that the American Academy of Dermatology has called probiotics one of the new beauty breakthrough as they have been shown to help prevent and treat acne, calm inflammation, decrease skin sensitivity and redness, and boost skin’s natural barrier function and hydration.

We’re usually wary about trying new brands we haven’t heard all that much about, but given that Dr. Raj is such a powerhouse (she’s a regular in publication like Shape and on TV appearing on The Today Show and CNN, among may others), we gave her starter kit a whirl and we’re so glad we did! The kit is perfect for on the go moms or for travel, the formulations are gentle but effective and the products are hydrating – very hydrating, which is key this time of year as out skin gets more and more parched. Nothing like smooth skin despite the stress of piecing together three intricate Halloween costumes for the little ones…

7 Seasonal Skin Care Secrets for Glowing Skin All Year Long

We plan our wardrobe around the seasons, so why not our skin care routine? I mean, if we want glowing skin year-round, it only makes sense: Everything from changes in heat and humidity levels to sun exposure play a part in how our skin looks and feels, which means changes have to be made to our skin care routine too.

 

So does this mean you have to overhaul your skin care routine every season? Luckily, no. (Whew.)

“The condition of your skin changes with each season and while you don’t need an entire beauty routine makeover, there are some useful tweaks that you can add to your daily skincare depending on the time of year,” says Dr. Roshini Raj, women’s health expert and co-founder of TULA, a probiotic skin care line.
Fall
1. Focus on hydration
As the temperature drops, so does the humidity, and your once glowing skin starts feeling dry and parched. “During cooler months, you need to pay special attention to thoroughly hydrating your skin,” says Raj. “If you want to keep dry skin at bay, you must hydrate your skin on a daily basis.” The best time to apply your moisturizer is right after a shower, just before your skin is completely dry: “This will lock the water into the skin and will help ensure better hydration.”
2. Consider incorporating a face serum
This is also the time of year you might want to consider adding a face serum that specifically targets skin dullness. Look for a product that contains brightening ingredients like citrus extracts that will even out your skin tone so you can get your glow on.
Winter
3. Add probiotics to keep your skin balanced
“Winter leaves skin vulnerable to variations in the skin’s pH level, which […]
