SKIN MICROBIOME DYNAMICS AND WELL-AGEING: A NEW PARADIGM FOR SKIN LONGEVITY SCIENCE

Have you ever wondered why our skin changes as we age? And how about our skin microbiome? Beyond the classic hallmarks of chronological ageing, such as thinning epidermis, decreased elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles. Recent scientific evidence strongly implicates the skin microbiome as a dynamic biological factor influencing how skin ages and how resilient it remains over time. Once understood mainly for its protective roles in immunity and barrier maintenance, the skin microbiome is now recognized as a modulator of ageing processes, interacting with epidermal physiology, inflammation pathways, extracellular matrix integrity, and host metabolic signaling…
