🧪 What Yeast Can Do for Skin
Yeast (specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or baker's yeast) contains:
-
B vitamins (good for skin repair and moisture)
-
Amino acids & enzymes (may support skin renewal)
-
Antioxidants (help fight free radicals, a contributor to aging)
When applied as a mask, yeast may help:
-
Brighten the skin
-
Soften texture temporarily
-
Minimize the look of fine lines (short-term, not permanent)
❌ What It Cannot Do
-
Yeast cannot erase deep wrinkles in 3 minutes.
-
It won’t reverse decades of skin aging overnight.
-
There is no clinical evidence that yeast alone permanently removes wrinkles.
Wrinkle reduction, especially for deep lines at age 70+, requires months of consistent care and proven active ingredients like:
-
Retinoids (Vitamin A)
-
Vitamin C
-
Peptides
-
Hyaluronic acid
-
Sunscreen
In-office treatments like laser resurfacing, microneedling, or injectables (e.g., Botox, fillers) are far more effective for visible wrinkle reduction.
