Skin microbiome

The skin microbiome refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that naturally inhabit our skin. These microbes play a crucial role in protecting against harmful pathogens, maintaining skin health, and influencing the immune system. Each person's skin microbiome is unique, shaped by factors like genetics, environment, and lifestyle. An imbalance in this microbial community can contribute to skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or infections. Understanding the skin microbiome can help in developing new treatments and skincare approaches that promote healthy skin through balanced microbial diversity.
