The skin microbiome is a complex community of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that live on the surface of your skin and within your follicles. Each person has a unique microbial profile, shaped by their genetics, age, environment, lifestyle, stress, and climate.
A balanced microbiome is essential for immune regulation, pathogen defence, acid mantle maintenance, and barrier integrity. When it is disrupted, the consequences appear on the skin as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, accelerated ageing, and post treatment sensitivity.
In corneotherapy, we treat the skin function rather than the microbes. The microbiome reflects the environment we create. By restoring the barrier, the microbiome often rebalances naturally.
