What is the Skin Microbiome?

We all know about our gut microbiome (our gut flora), and the importance of maintaining its health. But what is all this commotion about the skin microbiome?

Well, just like our gut, our skin also counts with a family of billions of friendly living microorganisms. Together, they form the skin flora, or Microbiome.

The function of the skin microbiome is to keep the skin healthy and protected from bacteria or pathogens that can cause inflammatory skin conditions.

Acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dehydration, and sensitivity are examples of what happens to the skin when the skin's Microbiome is not healthy and balanced.

Everyone has a unique skin and gut microbiome, that can be further influenced by environmental stressors and lifestyle. That's why, as Skin Therapists, we often see clients with the exact same skin condition as their friend or relative, but that do not get the same results with the same treatments.

As Professional Skin Therapists, we want to help our clients achieve the best results in their skincare journey. The key? Professional skincare that addresses the needs of your unique skin microbiome!

The same way you'd treat the gut microbiome: with Probiotics and Prebiotics. Nowadays, Probiotics and Prebiotics are present in skincare products to help maintain good skin health and strengthen our skin microbiome.
