Bacteria. Viruses. Fungi. Mites. oh my! You are cr

Bacteria. Viruses. Fungi. Mites. oh my! You are crawling with “bad guys.” You are a walking, talking germ factory.
.
We’re supposed to wage war on the the filth.
.
But do you know this microscopic ecosystem is actually good for you?
.
Do you know that you need bacteria for healthy skin and strong immunity?
.
Your germs are absolutely essential to your health.
.
You have a thriving, invisible population of germs that harmoniously co-exist, keeping you safe, happy (yes, they can impact your stress levels) and healthy. .
A healthy skin microbiome protects you from infection by preventing the overgrowth of other more dangerous pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that can enter the body and cause disease).
.
Microbes in the gut affect your skin too. Bacteria there make up around 70% of your immune system and function in exactly the same way to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens. An imbalance in gut bacteria can manifest as leaky gut, problematic skin and make you more susceptible to external viruses and bacteria.
.
Unfortunately, modern skincare and hygiene practices are encouraging the eradication of all germs in order to “keep us safe.” But in an effort to protect ourselves, we are over-sanitising our bodies and destroying our natural microbiome, which is actually our best defence.
.
Antibacterial cleansers, hand sanitisers and even skincare that contains preservatives (all water-based products contain preservatives) wipe out up to 99.9% of all the bacterial colonies on your skin.
.
This leaves a lot of room for resistant and sometimes dangerous pathogens to move in.
.
Read todays’ Lockdown Skin Diaries post to learn easy strategies that will help you support your good bacteria through lifestyle, diet and skincare.

Thinking about growing out your gray hair? .
If you're like me and have let your natural silver burst forth in all its glory...you might be in contemplation mode by now!
.
I spent around 3 years in my 30s going through the process already, so you could say I've been there, done that.
.
And I wrote all about it. Link in bio with pics :)
.
Ps, this big and bouncy hair is brought to you by my natural shampoo. A product I would never, ever give up! Shop the link in post 🤩🤩🤩

"I'm amazed. Thank you for giving my hair life." M

"I'm amazed. Thank you for giving my hair life." My day is made :) Thank you @2_curly_sisters 💗 .
Dry, curly, colour-treated and bleached hair is some of the hardest to care for... and believe me I know since mine is all of the above.
.
But one day last year, I realised I was literally taking better care of my jumpers/sweaters than the hair on my head.
.
All the natural shampoos I'd tried left me greasy and limp, so I always returned to the conventional detergents... I mean shampoos ;)
.
It took A LOT of trial and error to get the balance of this formula spot on. But I did, and it has totally changed my hair and the hair of soooo many others!
.
Now... just need to invent something to put the colour back in! Going gray at 17 was always going to be a challenge!
.
You can read all the wonderful reviews on the product page. Shop the link in post 😊
