1. Between sexual encounters: See video https://youtu.be/pF9Is9m3ECA on how to pump Rejuv into an easy-to-use applicator to be inserted into the vagina in the evening to coat the area and start the moisturizing and revitalizing process. This would be essential for women who are so dry that sexual intercourse is painful. Later, using Rejuv as a lubricant with your partner can serve as maintenance for the tissues.
2. During sexual encounters, pump the desired amount (1-2 pumps) of Rejuv to be used on your partner.
3. As a daily moisturizer if desired on the vulva and labia if these areas are dry.

NOTE: due to the natural oils, it is not recommended to use Rejuv with a condom as it may cause the breakdown of the condom material, making it less efficient.

1. Impact of Prebiotics and Probiotics on Skin Health
   “This review discusses the role of pre- and probiotics with respect to improving skin health by modulating the cutaneous microbiota. The skin ecosystem is a complex environment covered with a diverse microbiota community. These are classified as either transient or resident, where some are considered as beneficial, some essentially neutral and others pathogenic or at least have the capacity to be pathogenic. Colonisation varies between different parts of the body due to different environmental factors. Pre- and probiotic beneficial effects can be delivered topically or systemically (by ingestion).”

   “Prebiotics are an intriguing group of ingredients making skin care headlines because of the important role they can play in addressing a variety of skin concerns…emerging studies are shedding fascinating light on how topical prebiotics can help when applied to skin.
   Prebiotics are essentially foods consumed by probiotics. Probiotics are the good bacteria in and on the body that keep our bodies balanced and healthy inside and out.
   Skin care and medical experts consider probiotics fundamental to being healthy and youthful, and since prebiotics are the natural partner to probiotics, having both gives you the best of both worlds.”
   “The skin and the gut have something in common- microbiomes! As it turns out, the benefits of prebiotics and probiotics in our gut are also apparent when these ingredients are applied to skin.”(1)
   “Topical application of prebiotics impacts the skin differently than oral delivery through supplements or food. When we apply creams, serums or treatments with these ingredients, we can directly control the area where they get to work. This direct contact with skin is proven to enhance skin’s natural defenses by promoting the growth of beneficial and neutral microorganisms on the surface.”(1)

3. Skin Barrier Function and the Microbiome
   “Human skin is the largest organ and serves as the first line of defense against environmental factors. The human microbiota is defined as the total microbial community that coexists in the human body, while the microbiome refers to the collective genome of these microorganisms. Skin microbes do not simply reside on the skin but interact with the skin in a variety of ways, significantly affecting the skin barrier function. Here, we discuss recent insights into the symbiotic relationships between the microbiome and the skin barrier in physical, chemical, and innate/adaptive immunological ways. We discuss the gut-skin axis that affects skin barrier function. Finally, we examine the effects of microbiome dysbiosis on skin barrier function and the role of these effects in inflammatory skin diseases, such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Microbiome cosmetics can help restore skin barrier function and improve these diseases.”

4. Microbiome: Impact of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors on Skin Microbiota
   “Dysbiosis of the skin or gut microbiome is closely associated with an altered immune response, accompanied by skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, dandruff, and even skin cancer.”

5. The Microbiome; A New Target for Ecobiology in Dermatology
   “The skin microbiome has only recently been recognized as a new organ. Even though it is silent, it plays an important role in preventing and controlling the cutaneous cytokine inflammation, and, more recently, cutaneous pigmentation and neurogenic inflammation. Thus, the close relationship between the host and its inhabitants, the microbiome, is an example for targeted investigations of a new discipline, called ecobiology. New treatment options that may help the disturbed microbiome to recover and allow the healthy microbiome to maintain its homeostasis may certainly play a future role in dermatology.”

6. Topical Probiotics: More Than a Skin Deep
   “Topical probiotics have demonstrated beneficial effects for the treatment of certain inflammatory skin diseases such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis etc., and also found to have a promising role in wound healing.”

Pump 1-2 pumps on the fingers and gently massage into the vulva are and then move back through the anal region. Rinse lightly and pat dry. Please note that this Revive will not foam up like typical soaps and shampoos with a higher detrimental pH due to the moisturizing and oily ingredients.

Revive can be used weekly on the whole body to aid the strength of the microbiome. Apply with a sponge or fingers. Let’s sit for a minute, and then gently rinse off and pat dry. No moisturizer is needed afterward.
