Yes, drinking Kombucha certainly will benefit your whole body, including the

skin. :-)

Craig, here are some pointers of how Kombucha liquid or scoby can be used

externally to good effect. The following is borrowed from an older post

from a friend which you might find interesting:

" 1. The liquid can be used as a toner. The KT itself is acidic, which for

some may not be comfortable. Others may find that as a daily or occasional

splash, possibly followed by moisturizer, it keeps the skin in good

balance. .....

The liquid is also good on rashes, even itchy ones, and as an antiseptic

for scratches and cuts. I was medicating my chronically ill cat (who is

getting better in part because of KT applied to his skin), and he dug his

nails into both of my forearms and a thigh. I tore thin pieces of SCOBY

off my medicinal brew and taped them into place over the puncture

wounds. They healed without hesitation and no threat of infection, which

for a cat-source puncture wound is remarkable.

2. The SCOBY itself can be used whole or in pieces applied directly to the

face or parts of the face such as the eyelids. This form of skin

application is good for injuries, sore muscles.....

3. The third is called kombucha cream. ..... "

That is simply Kombucha scoby liquidised into apple-sauce-like mush by

adding a little liquid until well blended. Keeps well in a jam jar.

Can be kept handy in the kitchen and applied to little injuries, e.g.

cuts, scrapes and burns or scalds.

Skin problems like exzema/psoriasis respond well to Kombucha.

" I think these are conditions that need both cream and liquid.

Because the flakiness needs dissolving, but the skin needs nurturance

and building as well. So, during the day one could use liquid,

and at night use the cream. That works well socially also.

Kombucha is so considerate that way "

Yes, and you can add some very acidic KT to your bath and/or last hair

rinsing water. You want to use Kombucha vinegar for that, when the

culture has consumed all the sugar. (You don't want sweet, sticky hair

when you come out of the bath?)

So, there's a few suggestions fo you.

I'm sure there are many more.

Get creative!

See you soon :-)
