The microbiome plays a vital role in keeping your skin healthy, but it can also become imbalanced if you don’t take good care of it. The most common signs of an imbalanced skin microbiome include redness, bumps, flaky skin, whiteheads, and blackheads. The human body contains around 100 trillion cells, but only around 1 trillion bacteria and fungi reside on your skin. These numbers vary depending on where you live and how much time you spend indoors versus outdoors. In general, the more time spent outdoors (and away from strong air conditioning or sunlight), the higher concentration of good bacteria in your skin will be — so long as you are eating well overall!
