It dynamically responds to external factors such as weather, pollution, UV exposure, cosmetics, stress, sleep, and exercise and imbalances in the microbiome have been linked to various skin concerns, including dryness, sensitivity, acne, and premature aging. By gaining a deeper understanding of the skin microbiome, individuals can better address their specific skincare needs.
