If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably experienced the never-ending quest for the perfect foundation. The struggle to find a product that provides coverage without causing breakouts or that dreaded mask-like appearance can be frustrating. But fear not, because I may have found your holy grail solution – Esse Probiotic Foundation.
My Battle with Foundation (and acne)
Let’s rewind a bit. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with makeup, especially foundation. It seemed like every product I tried either triggered acne spots or made my skin look like it had been plastered with a mask. Not the flawless look I was going for, right?
These days, I’ve embraced the no-makeup, makeup look – except when the occasion absolutely calls for it. But when I stumbled upon Esse’s Probiotic Foundation, my perspective on makeup changed entirely.
The Benefits: Choosing Esse’s Trial/Travel Set brings a multitude of advantages for your skin’s health. By simplifying your skincare routine and embracing natural oils, your skin’s protective barrier will be fortified, leading to improved skin function. With Esse’s probiotic-based products, you can expect benefits such as enhanced skin barrier function, balanced pH levels, reduced sensitivity and inflammation, improved immunity, and even a slowed aging process. Embracing these products ensures healthier, more elastic, and youthful-looking skin, while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Esse Probiotic Foundation: A Game-Changer
I put Esse’s Probiotic Foundation to the test, and was I impressed! Here’s what I love about it:
1. Effortless Application: The foundation glides onto the skin like a dream and seamlessly melts in, providing natural coverage that doesn’t feel heavy or cakey.
2. Hydrated, Healthy Glow: Instead of leaving my skin dry, matt and dull, Esse’s foundation leaves me with a luminous, healthy glow. Say goodbye to that flat, lifeless look!
3. No More Mask Effect: One of my biggest pet peeves with foundation is the mask-like appearance it can create. Esse’s Probiotic Foundation avoids this entirely, letting my skin shine through while still providing the coverage I desire.
4. Little Goes a Long Way: With this foundation, less is definitely more. You only need a tiny amount to achieve the desired effect, making it last longer and saving you money in the long run. I have decided to blend foundation 1 and 3 so that I can use the light foundation to cover the spots. But I think Foundation 2 would work best if I had to pick one.
5. Microbiome-Friendly: It’s a win-win for your skin! Esse’s foundation is microbiome-friendly, meaning it won’t disrupt the delicate balance of your skin’s ecosystem.
It includes:
- Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus ferment – both probiotic extracts that bring microbiome balance
- Probiotics – improve barrier function for sensitive skins
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides, Inulin and Yacon Root extract – prebiotics to support beneficial skin microbes
6. SPF 30 Sunscreen: As if all these benefits weren’t enough, the foundation also comes with SPF 30 sunscreen protection. So, no need for that extra layer of sunscreen – it’s got you covered!
Key benefits:
- BIOME+ LEVEL 2 + 3 FORMULATION means that this product contains probiotic lysates and tyndallised Lactobacillus bacteria that are capable of docking onto skin cells. There are 1 million heat-killed Lactobacilli per ml.
- Certified organic formulations (minerals cannot be certified organic so the % is lower than normal).
- Natural Iron and Titanium oxides give coverage. The mineral particles are coated with wax and therefore do not dry the skin.
- Spreads evenly and easily buildable for when more coverage is needed.
- Supports a healthy skin microbiome with prebiotics.
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30 with strong UVA protection to slow collagen and elastin damage.
- Fragrance and allergen-free with mild preservatives and probiotics to support sensitive skin.
