Your microbiome is an complex ecosystem of diverse microorganisms; most of which are beneficial, some neutral, and some pathogenic. The beneficial organisms can do helpful jobs like eat up your excess oil and dead skin cells, the harmful ones can exasperate inflammation, cause infections, or cause acne. We're all tuning into the importance of a healthy gut microbiome, the skin's flora is just as vital to consider for a beautiful complexion -- and the two are closely connected as well. The phrase "you are what you you eat" is very relevant when considering microbiome, as our topical skincare treatments are what is being fed to these sensitive microorganisms.
