Skin Microbiome Enhancers

The skin is our largest organ, and as most people know the skin is the body’s first line of defence.

Interestingly it’s not your skin’s cells that do the hard work defending against infection, but the billions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites living, crawling and making their home on it!

This community of microbes is called you skin microbiome. 

Having a thriving, well-balanced microbiome plays an important role in the overall health and appearance of your skin.

It can help reduce the impact of a range of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and rosacea and there is even some evidence that a healthy skin microbiome can slow down the aging process!

 

We’ve learned that microbial diversity is key.

The greater the variety of microbial species on your skin, the healthier its barrier will be. A lack of diversity can lead to skin dryness, overproduction of sebum, breakouts or redness.

It can also benefit your health more generally by:

1. Protecting against infection 
2. Boosting the immune system
3. Reducing inflammation

Our habit of daily hot showers, use of hand sanitisers and strong detergents  in soaps all impact negatively on the skin microbiome.

We offer a range of products which help to protect and promote this vital part of your skin.
