Skin Microbiome Balance: The Secret to Naturally Healthy Skin
Written by Dr. Oh
When we think of skincare, we often picture cleansers, serums, and moisturizers. But one of the most important elements of healthy skin is often invisible: your skin microbiome balance. Your skin hosts billions of microscopic organisms that play a vital role in your skin’s health and keeping this ecosystem in balance is the key to calm, radiant skin.
What Is the Skin Microbiome?
The skin microbiome refers to the community of bacteria, fungi, and viruses living on your skin. When in balance, these microbes:
- Maintain optimal skin pH
- Defend against harmful pathogens
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen the skin barrier
In short, skin microbiome balance is essential to supporting your skin’s natural defense system. For a deeper scientific dive, see from a scientific article.
Benefits of Skin Microbiome
Protection: Skin flora creates an environment that is unfavorable to harmful bacteria, helping to prevent infections.
Immune Support: The microbiome communicates with your immune system, calming unnecessary inflammation and strengthening natural defenses.
Barrier Function: It maintains the integrity of the skin barrier, locking in hydration while keeping irritants out.
When this balance breaks from chemical preservatives, over-cleansing, harsh exfoliation, or synthetic emulsifiers, your skin becomes vulnerable to acnes, dryness, itchiness, eczema, and dermatitis. Babies, seniors, and those with weakened immune or liver function are especially vulnerable.
