What is the skin microbiome?

The skin microbiome is the collection of all of the microbes living on our skin. These microbes help prevent bad microbes from colonizing and inhabiting our skin, which can cause us to become sick.

How can my health be impacted by my skin microbiome?

If your skin microbiome lacks diversity in its microbe populations it can directly cause the development of eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea. If your skin microbiome has been filled with bad bacteria it can prevent the healing of wounds, developing into a chronic condition. By performing two microbiome analysis tests, once before and once after, the application of a skin product, we can determine how the product may be impacting your skin microbiome and your chance for skin problems.
