The skins flora (microbiome) is a diverse invisible ecosystem of microorganisms that reside on the surface of the skin made up of “good/bad” microbes.  The flora plays a vital role in the support of the skin’s health by protecting against environmental stressors and helps to maintain the integrity of the skin barrier.  An imbalance in the skin, can play a large role in “flair ups” (psoriasis, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, acne, dryness and itchiness).  A healthy balance of good and bad bacteria can help to promote collagen production, protect the skin’s healthy moisture barrier (ceramides), and leads to fewer breakouts.
