🧠 Skin-Brain Axis: The Microbiome That Boosts Well-Being
A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology revealed that the skin microbiome may be directly linked to psychological well-being. Researchers at the University of Liverpool found that higher levels of Cutibacterium on the skin are associated with lower stress and improved mood.
🔬 How this connection works: Experts suggest that certain skin bacteria release anti-inflammatory molecules that strengthen the skin barrier and reduce immune activity related to stress. They may also influence the production of substances like cortisol and substance P, which directly connect the skin and brain, while generating metabolites that interact with nerves and immune cells.
✨ Neurocosmetics: a new horizon. This finding is driving the development of neurocosmetics with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to nourish beneficial bacteria. Although large-scale clinical trials are still needed, the potential is huge: products that not only improve skin appearance but also help reduce stress and promote emotional balance.
🌍 A revolution in health and self-care. The skin-brain axis joins discoveries from the gut-brain and gut-skin axes, reinforcing the idea that microbiomes play a central role in overall health. This breakthrough could transform the way we understand skincare, positioning it as part of holistic well-being.
