What is the skin microbiome?
The skin is not just a passive barrier – it is a living ecosystem. Billions of microorganisms live on its surface: bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which together form the skin microbiome. When this ecosystem is in balance, the skin looks healthy, is hydrated, and resilient. When it is disrupted, problems such as dryness, redness, acne, or hypersensitivity can appear.
What disrupts the microbiome?
Modern lifestyle is challenging for the microbiome. The main disruptors include:
- Aggressive cleansing products with high pH
- Excessive use of antibacterial products
- Air pollution and UV radiation
- Stress and unbalanced diet
- Hot showers or baths
How to restore and protect the microbiome?
The key is gentle, scientifically-backed care that supports the skin's natural environment – rather than destroying it. This is precisely the principle upon which the BODIQ brand is built.
