Our skin's surface is an ecosystem of microorganisms that play a vital role in maintaining its proper function.
In this exploration of the skin microbiome, we'll dive deep into the diverse communities of bacteria living on your skin and introduce you to two products that can help you maintain balance within this microscopic habitat.
The Bacterial Residents of Your Skin
Remember that not all bacteria are harmful. In fact, your skin is home to a diverse array of microbial species that contribute to its overall well-being. On average, a staggering five million bacteria inhabit every square centimeter of your skin. Surprisingly, most of these bacteria aren't just harmless; they're beneficial, forming a protective shield against potentially harmful invaders.
Interestingly, different parts of your skin harbor distinct bacterial communities. Oily surfaces can host up to 80 million bacteria per square centimeter. However, drier regions house their own unique inhabitants.
Three Major Types of Skin Bacteria
Propionibacterium is present in your hair follicles and pores to feed on sebum – the oil your skin produces. While a healthy balance of sebum is beneficial, an excess can lead to these bacteria proliferating and clogging your pores, potentially leading to skin issues.
- Corynebacterium lives in moisture-prone zones, are versatile and, for the most part, non-toxic. In fact, some strains are harnessed in the production of amino acids, and certain species share traits similar to antibiotics.
- Staphylococcus aureus is typically found around your mouth and nose, these bacteria have a notorious side too. Some strains are responsible for skin infections that become red and inflamed.
