Cutaneous microbiome

The cutaneous microbiome refers to the community of tiny microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that live on our skin. These microbes coexist with us, playing important roles in protecting against harmful pathogens, supporting immune function, and maintaining healthy skin. The balance of these microorganisms can be influenced by factors like hygiene, environment, and skincare. A healthy skin microbiome helps keep your skin strong and resilient, while imbalances may contribute to skin conditions like acne, eczema, or dermatitis. Overall, your skin microbiome is an essential part of your overall health and skin wellbeing.
