These days, it seems like everyone has hopped aboard the kombucha train. That's because the fermented drink is loaded with probiotics, aka good bacteria that are key for a healthy gut. But, as it turns out, putting probiotics on your face can have some benefits too. They're particularly useful for those who have skin conditions like acne, eczema and rosacea since they help balance your skin. Kombucha is also chock full of antioxidants, which help protect skin from free radical damage that causes aging. Luckily, it's easier than ever to find kombucha skin care products. Here are our favorites for glowing skin.
