The term ‘microbiome’ has been around for a long time—and although it is most often associated with gut health, understanding the skin’s microbiome has been a game-changer in skincare recently.

The balance of your gut also manifests on your skin. Issues with bacteria in your digestive tract can lead to imbalances like acne It might sound a little complicated, but we’re breaking it down so you can reap all the rewards of healthy, balanced, and glowing skin.

Our skin’s ecosystem

Skin microbiome (or “skin flora”) is an ecosystem made up of billions of microorganisms that live on your skin. And while they’re invisible to the naked eye, they’re the living layer that protects your skin. An enormous number of studies have shown that changes in this ecosystem, and the microorganisms in it, might have a significant impact on your dermal condition and how your skin feels and looks. Understanding skin’s microbiome can help guide you to taking the absolute best care of your skin.

For healthy, glowing skin, it’s important to have a balance of “good” and “bad” microorganisms. Because it’s an ecosystem, think about it as creating the best, healthiest environment for your organisms to live in. Believe it or not, your face is the home to around one trillion bacteria from around one thousand different bacterial species — don’t worry, this is good! According to a recent study, these microorganisms may play a role in educating your skin cells and priming them to respond to a number of stressors. Healthy, glowing skin is the result of maintaining a perfect balance — strengthening your skin’s barrier and keeping infections at bay.

How to keep your microbiome happy

Microbiome might be a new word to add to your skincare vocabulary, but the reasons for microbiome imbalance are usually caused by everyday issues: sun damage, pollution, or other irritants. When bad bacteria take control of your skin’s ecosystem, it may present itself through irritation, blemishes, eczema, and even psoriasis.

Here are a few tips to healthy, balanced skin.

1. Remember that your skin tries to balance itself naturally. And although you want to keep your skin clean and eliminate bad bacteria and dead skin, make sure you’re keeping an eye on your pH and not stripping your face of all the good and healthy bacteria. Green your routine! We are committed to raising the bar of clean skincare with each of our cellular rejuvenating products.
2. Less is more. We believe in skin minimalism and that your skin needs to breathe, so be mindful when you’re wearing makeup like heavy foundations or layered products. Streamline your routine and maximize benefits with our highly multi-tasking products that target all signs of stressed, tired or depleted skin.
3. From lack of sleep to pollution, the modern life can be tough on our skin. And with the workforce mostly remote these days, the blue lights from a computer aren’t just bad for your eyes or your sleep — but for your skin. 
4. Getting to know your skin––especially because your skin definitely. changes throughout the seasons, hormonal shifts, and by many other factors. At times, your skin might seem more sensitive than before - treat 
5. Maintaining a healthy bacterial balance in your gut as much as possible by incorporating yogurt, kombucha, or other probiotic-rich foods into your diet.
