One study showed that the skin microbiome of cachectic cancer patients is less diverse than that of healthy patients.
Therefore, by increasing the biodiversity of the skin microbiome, we could improve our protection against the sun.
Another study explained:
"Epidermal and immune response to UV is dependent on skin microbiome"
It was also apparent that the immune response was also altered by the microbiome.
Sun lotions often contain a large amount of synthetic ingredients which can damage the skin microbiome.
Therefore, using the microbiome as a future defense against over-exposure to the sun’s UV rays could help provide a much healthier solution.
