Skin microbiome specialist Dr Thomas Hitchcock is back to answer viewer questions around how to get naturally healthy skin, including how different skincare actives like vitamin C, peels and retinoids, affect the skin microbiome.
We also discuss the link between our skin and our wider health and the use of 'smart microbes' like C.acnes to tackle skin conditions and the signs of aging.
Discover the secrets behind maintaining a clear complexion by understanding the skin biome. We delve into the realm of microbial skincare and learn how to achieve microbiome balance for radiant skin.
