Here at advanced skin and beauty clinic we can help you to Understand the SOS Signals Your Skin Is Sending You!
What exactly is our microbiome?
Great question — and one that gets to the heart of how closely humans are connected with the microbial world.
The skin microbiome refers to the community of microorganisms—including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites—that live on the human skin. These microbes form a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a crucial role in skin health, immune function, and protection against harmful pathogens!
A skin microbiome can make the skin appear dry, flaky, dull, or excessively oily. It can also manifest as redness, inflammation, sensitivity, or uneven texture, and may be associated with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
Dryness and flaking: The skin barrier’s function is compromised, leading to a loss of moisture and the appearance of dry, flaky skin.
Dullness: A lack of beneficial microbes can result in a dull or lackluster complexion.
Redness and inflammation: An imbalance can trigger inflammation, leading to redness and a heightened sensitivity to other irritants.
Extreme oiliness: A shift in the microbiome can also lead to increased sebum production, causing the skin to become excessively oily.
Uneven texture: The skin’s surface may become rough or uneven due to the lack of balance among the microbes.
Breakouts: Conditions like acne can be worsened by a disrupted microbiome.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin, often with a high presence of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
Psoriasis: A chronic inflammatory skin condition that can be linked to an imbalance in both the skin and gut microbiomes.
Acne: While the relationship is complex, a disrupted microbiome can contribute to acne, which is an inflammatory condition involving the oil glands.
Rosacea: A chronic inflammatory condition that causes facial redness and can be associated with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
