Learn something new today: What is the Skin Microbiome and why should we protect it?
Hello Star Seedlings, it's Ed here, tuning into something quite exciting: the Skin Microbiome.
Pre-, pro- & post-biotic skincare, have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. To achieve a healthy, balanced and resilient microbiome, we need to promote biodiversity on our skin. To allow the right microorganisms to survive and thrive, there needs to be an absence of chlorinated harsh tap water, chemicals and preservatives, all of which kill off the bioactivity of the microbiota. According to Dr Hamblin's Research, practically all skin products have water (unless anhydrous or oil-based) and therefore will have preservatives, most probably damaging some part of your microbiome.
