| Sumario: | <p><i>Lactobacillus</i> is recently being used for many applications aimed at improving skin quality, treating skin disorders, aiding wound healing, and delaying the symptoms of skin aging. In this chapter, a summary of the latest advancements in this field will be provided and discussed. Based on recent literature, certain <i>Lactobacillus</i> strains have been found to be effective against serious skin disorders such as bad smell (osmidrosis), acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, skin cancer, wounds, and burns, leading to a delay in disorder development or milder symptoms. In addition, the reported effects of <i>Lactobacillus</i> on skin quality and aging have been highlighted. <i>Lactobacillus</i> strains have been shown to improve a variety of skin characteristics such as moisture, elasticity, or tone, and to strengthen the skin barrier function. Extracellular vesicles, extracellular polysaccharides, and cell lysates from these strains have been reported to be particularly effective, showing a new trend for future research. Based on the scientific evidence available, it is clear that this species is a very promising candidate for a probiotic-based treatment approach for a wide range of skin-related medical and cosmetic concerns.</p> |
