Skin Deep: The Microbiome's Role in Healthy Skin

Skin Deep: The Microbiome's Role in Healthy Skin

In this episode of Microbiome Medics Podcast, Dr. Sheena Fraser speaks with Dr. Holly Wilkinson, a microbiome scientist at Hull York Medical School, about the vital role of the skin microbiome in health and disease. We discuss how the skin microbiome’s unique characteristics, influenced by factors like body location and hygiene, are crucial for maintaining skin health. Dr. Wilkinson explains the relationship between the skin barrier and microbiota and the implications for conditions like acne and eczema.

We also explore natural skincare options, the research on probiotics for wound healing, and her current studies on chronic wounds, emphasising microbiome composition as a predictor for healing outcomes. This engaging conversation underscores the importance of a holistic approach to skincare and the need for more awareness of microbiome science in clinical practice.

This podcast is brought to you in collaboration with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
