PJW Approved - Dr Elsa Jungman Microbiome Skin Test

Calling any and all PJW women who struggle with their skin! You’re going to LOVE this month’s #PJWApproved. 

I’m a huge fan of skincare products, but I recognize that there’s only so much we can do on the outside to help our skin. And even if we eat the cleanest diet, take all the right supplements, and use the highest quality skincare products, it STILL may not be enough. Every person’s skin has different needs, and that’s in part because every person’s skin has different microbes on it. Yep, our skin has a microbiome, just like our gut does. If you’re someone who has sensitive skin, you struggle with acne, or you are driving yourself mad trying to figure out your skin and what products to use…allow me to share a test with you that’s going to change your life. 

This month’s #PJWApproved is the Skin Microbiome Kit from Dr. Elsa Jungman.

Why I Love This Product

1. It’s an at-home test, designed by a skin expert. 

Unlike getting a test done at a lab or doctor’s office, the Skin Microbiome Kit is a test you take at home and mail back to get your results. The test was developed by Dr. Elsa Jungman, who has a PhD in Skin Pharmacology and worked in research and development for L’Oreal in Paris. As a skin expert, she strives to be an advocate and resource for promoting a healthy skin ecosystem. Dr. Jungman and her colleagues are committed to understanding how various factors (like hormones, sun exposure, environmental pollution, and skincare products) impact your skin’s ecosystem. She designed the Microbiome Kit to teach you more about your skin, and she offers recommendations for products that can keep your ecosystem in equilibrium.

2. The learnings from this test can save you time and money. 

I often joke that I’ve tried every skincare product under the sun at this point…but honestly, that’s not far off from the truth! I’ve gone through numerous phases over the years and I’ve adapted my routine countless times to address my skin concerns. Needless to say, researching every product and making changes to my skin routine takes up a lot of time and eats up a lot of money. Now, I don’t have to do that! The Skin Microbiome Kit has given me countless learnings and recommendations that I’ve been able to apply to my skincare routine. No more guessing whether a product will work for me and fretting when it doesn’t. I have very sensitive skin, and many products tend to irritate it. Now, I have a simplified, effective skincare routine, because I know more about the microbes on my skin and how to keep my skin microbiome happy. My skin has never looked or felt better, and I owe that to the magic of this kit!

3. The test is easy and you get your results quickly. 

Once you order your test online, it will arrive at your doorstep in just a few days. The kit contains a swab, a collection tube, and a specimen bag. It comes with instructions, but essentially all you have to do is swab your skin, put it in the collection tube, seal it in the specimen bag, and mail it back to Dr. Jungman and her team. The kit comes with prepaid postage so it gets to them ASAP. Within one to three weeks, you’ll receive an email with your personalized results. Dr. Jungman breaks down the results into easy-to-understand findings, and then provides recommendations based on your results. After getting my report, I decided to try Dr. Jungman’s Start Over Moisturizing Serum and now I swear by it. But hey, if you won’t take my word for it, check out the reviews on the Microbiome Test page and the Serum page. I’m far from the only one who loves them!

Struggling with your skin is frustrating and expensive…why bother with that when you can take a test once and get some answers? I can’t speak for you, but to me it’s a no-brainer. If you want to try the Skin Microbiome Kit for yourself, you can follow this link to buy it via Dr. Jungman’s site.
