When Rachel began the prototype phase for the Daily Glow Probiotic Supplements, she had been taking them for about nine days when she noticed that upon waking up in the morning, she didn't have the pillow lines she typically experienced after a night's rest. She was initially unsure if the effect was the work of the supplements, or if her increasingly supple skin was a natural result of getting more sleep and her exposure to better air quality in her new residence in New Jersey. A month passed and Behm ran out of her 30-day supply of the supplements. Ten days later the pillow lines appeared once again. It became clear supplements were a vital addition to any skin regime. The LAYERS supplements are highly potent with half of each pill containing a five-strain probiotic, and the other half containing a ceramide extract that works through the bloodstream. Ceramides are responsible for elasticity and can combat aging. The powerful combination of ingredients typically begins to make a noticeable impact anywhere from 15 to 30 days of consistent usage. Through LAYERS, Behm aims to not only provide game-changing products but also work to educate consumers about the interconnectedness of our body systems. Diet, sleep, exercise, and stress are all components in achieving optimal skin health. The incorporation of daily probiotics, such as in the LAYERS supplement, can be an excellent boost for the body and aid in regulating digestion, and skin healing. Consumers as early as age 18 may even benefit from adding such probiotics to their daily routine. In the last ten years, consumers have become increasingly interested in the contents of their skincare products. They've self-educated and understand what to look for in skincare. As consumers learn more, Behm believes the next wave of skin education will focus on how we might protect our microbiomes and boost our body's natural abilities to give us our best skin. The LAYERS approach to optimal skin hydration, elasticity, and smoothness works through a combination of topical and ingestible products for maximized results. In conjunction, Behm emphasizes the importance of eating well and recognizing how certain foods might trigger particular reactions on the skin. Regular exercise should also be considered for a complete and impactful balance. www.mylayers.com | @my.layers THE PRODUCTS BALANCING MILKY CLEANSER A super gentle cleanser will wash away dirt, impurities, make-up, and pollutants.
