Our very busy, modern lives are having an effect on our skin. With the current situation we are all experiencing, now more than ever, it is important to take care of yourself. With being cooped up inside with lots of work, stress, less sleep, it is a lot for our skin to deal with on a day-to-day basis and can directly damage our first layer of defense: the microbiome—where both the good and the bad bacteria live on our skin.

A healthy microbiome plays a significant role in helping maintain a healthy skin. Basically in charge of protecting your skin from foreign invaders, the microbiome keeps skin supple and hydrated while preserving its ability to heal and regenerate.

As the body's largest organ, your skin is home to millions of bacteria that make up the microbiome. Clinical data shows a huge diversity in distinct species of bacteria, both harmful and beneficial. Though, traditionally, it would be advised to get rid of the "bad" bacteria, studies show that for the skin's immune system to work efficiently, you will need balance of both good and bad bacteria.

Various environmental factors can affect the balance of the skin microbiome, such as the change in the skin pH, UV radiation, or age. When the microbiome is unbalanced, it can lead to skin conditions like having dry or sensitive skin, or even inflammatory skin diseases such as acne. By maintaining a balanced skin microbiome with skin-care products that have the right ingredients, your skin will definitely benefit, no matter the skin type.

Fortunately, a new product from L'Occitane has come along to give your skin a total reboot.
