Summary
This episode of The Emma Guns Show is brought you in collaboration with Lancôme.
Annie Black is Lancôme’s International Scientific Director, and she joins me in this beauty special to explain what the microbiome is, why we all have one that’s completely unique to us and how we can look after it for optimum skin health using Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum.
Annie not only explains the extensive research that has gone into creating a product, the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum, that supports a healthy microbiome but why it’s universal and can be incorporated into anyone’s skincare regime regardless of age or skin type.
In this conversation Annie and I discuss:
- What the microbiome is and why it’s fundamental to skin health.
- How the microbiome can be compromised and how that’ll look and feel on our skin.
- The role that the topical application of prebiotics and probiotics plays on supporting our microbiome.
- The clinical trials and research over nearly 20 years that have informed the experts and Lancome into how to create skincare that promotes optimum skin health.
- The results you can expect from using Advanced Génifique serum and how to incorporate it into your current skincare regime.
- Plus Annie also shares the one thing she wishes people wouldn’t do their skin.

| 0:00.0 | This episode of the Emma Gunn Show is a beauty special brought to you in collaboration with Longcom. |
| 0:10.7 | Hello, hi and welcome to a beauty special with Longcom and their international scientific director, Annie Black. |
| 0:17.1 | One of the things you may have heard about in skincare over the last couple of years is the microbiome and how it's vital that we look after it in order to achieve optimum skin health. |
| 0:25.6 | While we're all keen, I'm sure, to do this, the starting point is to really understand what the microbiome is, and that's where Annie's expertise comes in. |
| 0:34.6 | In this episode, Annie not only explains what the microbiome is, |
| 0:39.0 | how we'll know if it's unhealthy or out of balance, but also what topical ingredients and |
| 0:43.5 | formulations can get our microbiome into an optimum state. As Annie says, the microbiome is |
| 0:49.5 | reframing the way we think about the skin barrier and paving the way for a new era of more effective |
| 0:55.0 | skincare acting on the microbiome to help strengthen skin. And it's important that we look after our |
| 1:00.0 | microbiome because it performs three key roles. A balanced microbiome protects by providing antimicrobial |
| 1:05.0 | defence against pathogens and liberates antioxidant proteins, regulates our skin, and it does this by modulating |
| 1:11.8 | excessive inflammation, and also repairs by strengthening the skin barrier. After 20 years of research |
| 1:17.7 | and inspired by microbiome science, Longcom has updated the formula of their best-selling serum, |
| 1:23.0 | Advanced Genifique, to be enriched with a new complex of seven prebiotic and probiotic derived extracts. |
| 1:29.3 | I'll let Annie explain the research and why the formula for advanced Genifique is so beneficial |
| 1:34.0 | for skin health and all the links to everything discussed can be found in the show notes. |
| 1:37.7 | But without any further ado please enjoy Annie Black, Longcom's international scientific director |
| 1:43.1 | on this beauty special of the Emma Gunn Show. |
| 1:51.1 | Welcome to the podcast, Annie Black. How are you? |
| 1:56.1 | I'm very good. Thank you for having me. |
| 1:59.1 | I'm so excited to chat to you because you are going to explain something to me and to listeners |
| 2:06.2 | that I think is something that we've heard about a lot, but maybe haven't had the opportunity |
