Roelmi HPC describes a study that aims at presenting a particular innovative approach to rebalancing the skin microbiota by benefiting the skin and preventing its alterations. Through a soft process, the bacteria are inactivated but retains all the beneficial actions toward our skin.
The primary role of the skin is to serve as a physical barrier, protecting our bodies from potential assault by foreign organisms or toxic substances. One factor that determines good skin functioning is a properly working skin microbiota
The skin is also an interface with the outside environment and, as such, is colonized by a diverse collection of microorganisms.1 This complex set of microorganisms consists of bacteria, fungi, viruses, micro-eukaryotes (mites), archaea and phages.2
The perception of the skin as an ecosystem, composed of living biological and physical components occupying diverse habitats can advance our understanding of the delicate balance between host and microorganisms.
