Homegrown bio-clinical skincare brand, Esse, has launched a range of professional, customised skin rewilding treatments which incorporate advanced pre- and probiotics, as well as the application of live probiotics. The Esse Experience treatments – Esse Express, Esse Experience, and Esse Live Probiotic Experience – are world-first, science-based treatments that rewild the skin using Esse products. “Conventional skincare has adversely affected the skin’s natural microbiome by stripping it of bacteria that actually protect the skin,” explained Trevor Steyn, founder of Esse. “Because of this, we’ve seen a drastic rise in modern skin conditions such as acne and eczema, with the problem further compounded by people turning to quick fixes that do more to harm the skin than help. “The targeted facial treatments deeply hydrate, soothe, and renew the skin. This not only rewilds the skin – restoring the natural microbiome – but it also reduces inflammation and slows the ageing process.” Benefits include: Boosting collagen production, soothing stress relief, antiinflammatory properties, strengthening the barrier function, and restoring the skin’s natural ecosystem.
