Why is Skin Health important?
Skin functions as the primary defense mechanism against injuries and infections. Research into the skin’s barrier function highlights a strong correlation between its physical, immunological, and cellular properties and its microflora. For example, conditions such as dry skin, aging skin, and inflammatory issues like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne are linked to disruptions in the skin’s microbial ecosystem, which impair its barrier function.
Therefore, maintaining the health of this invisible population is crucial.
- The skin microbiota comprises a dynamic community of trillions of bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms residing within the epidermis, dermis, and skin-associated glands and follicles.
- The diversity and dynamics of this community vary based on factors such as age, gender, and ethnicity, and are also influenced by environmental interactions.
- As the skin interfaces with the external environment, the balance of these populations is in constant flux
Consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining a healthy skin microbiome. Products that support and balance the skin microbiome are gaining popularity, as they help improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and enhance the skin’s natural barrier.
