Skin is an ecosystem. It is inhabited by millions of microbes which consist the skin’s flora e.g. microbiome. Various factors like age, sex, the use of antibiotics, cosmetics, soaps, sanitisers, disinfectants, personal care products, hygiene or even diet can influence the skin microbiome’s delicate balance and diversity.
Unwanted alteration of the skin microbiota can cause roughness, irritation, dermatitis, acne, allergies, discolourations etc.
