First-of-its-kind clinical research has demonstrated the link between mental health and the bacteria found on skin—a concept that is often labeled ‘psychodermatology’ by the beauty industry.
A new UK-based clinical study published in the British Journal of Dermatology highlights the connection between skin bacteria found on various areas of the body and psychological well-being.
The research was undertaken by scientists at British FMCG company Unilever in partnership with the Microbiome Innovation Centre and the Brain & Behaviour Lab, University of Liverpool.
