SIV To The Rescue!

Are you familiar with the concept of yin and yang? It’s a Chinese philosophical symbol that represents two independent forces maintaining harmony and balance. Picture this as the ideal situation for your skin. Maybe you’ve heard about skin’s microbiome as part of your skin’s barrier health? Essentially, an ideal skin biome is like a yin-yang. No bacteria are bad as long as they are balanced by the other bacteria. However, certain strains of bacteria can overpopulate and start to throw off the balance or harmony of our skin. 

An ecosystem on our skin may be challenging to picture, but if you got out a microscope, that’s what you would see. Overscrubbing and washing your skin strips it of those friendly organisms. It’s important to keep your skin clean, but not so clean that nothing can thrive on it. We want all the organisms in our neighborhood to get along. 

But what happens when the microbes don’t all play nice? Well, when one strain of bacteria takes over, you are left with compromised skin that can lead to conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and/or acne. All the bad bacteria talk to each other and conspire against the good ones; this means you are fighting an uphill battle. That’s why it’s never as easy as a cream, cleanser, or prescription to truly clear skin conditions. We need a tactical strategy to fight harmful bacteria without compromising the beneficial ones.

SIV Biome Balancing Serum is a really great soldier in this war on chronic and compromised skin conditions. SIV tips the scales in your favor, supporting your good bacteria and nourishing your skin. Instead of coming in hot and destroying all of the bacteria on your skin, SIV is a gentle giant that restores balance in your skin.

SIV has 4 simple ingredients, one being active spores called Bacillus spores. Since there are no fillers you have to shake the serum up before using it. It’s a serum that should go on first after cleansing, and toning unless otherwise directed by your aesthetician. Think of SIV like a probiotic on your skin, tipping the scales back to balance and harmony. Of course, SIV may win a battle and temporarily clear and sooth skin, but to fully win the war takes an approach from all angles (and a good aesthetician!)
