“…recruited the elderly who were in the early stage of aging (50–60 years old), while we recruited the elderly whose age (>60 years old) fit more with the functional aging of physiological organs. In aged skin, small blood vessels, sebaceous glands and sweat glands atrophy, and the nutrient supply, stratum corneum hydration and lipid content are all reduced . The skin dryness and higher pH may cause reduced diversity of originally dominant microorganisms (e.g.…”

The skin microbiota is an inseparable component of the skin barrier structure, which participates in the stabilization or impairment of the barrier function as well as the development of many skin diseases. To characterize the normal skin microbiota and its association with skin sites, age and sex, we recruited 50 volunteers divided into children, adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults and the elderly. The skin sites consisted of cheeks, volar forearms (representing dry environments) and upper back (representing sebaceous environments). A total of 9 574 365 high-quality sequences of the V3 to V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene were annotated with taxonomic information related to two archaeal phyla (Thaumarchaeota and Euryarchaeota) and five dominant bacterial phyla (Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria). The skin bacteria community structure was influenced by skin sites, and was closely related to age and sex. The upper back was dominated by Propionibacterium and Staphylococcus, and the cheeks facilitated the survival of Betaproteobacteria, while Alphaproteobacteria were prevalent on the volar forearms. Regarding the effects of age, after sexual maturity, the cheek microbiota became more similar to sebaceous sites (i.e. the upper back). The volar forearms appeared to experience the aging process earlier than the other two sites. The elderly had greater species richness and diversity and their community composition no longer had skin-site selectivity. Males had a greater species richness than females, but the sex differences in the community structure only present at certain age groups and skin sites.

“…Thus, protection and recovery from sunburn have been one of the first research objectives of probiotics for the skin. These first studies were carried out with fractions of bifidobacteria applied to the skin, with contradictory results [245].…”

The study of the human microbiome has been a hot topic during the recent decades. More recently, the skin microbiome has attracted great interest as well. So, the scientific community has become interested in the role of the skin microbiome in skin health and its relationship with different disorders, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea, among others. Numerous studies and investigations have been performed to study the role of pre- and probiotics as nutraceuticals in the treatment of skin diseases, with growing evidence over the recent ten years. This review gathers information on the use of “nutribiotics” in skin care health, focusing on the main dermatological diseases and other skin conditions. Clinical studies show that nutribiotics could be a new tool to improve skin health, and pre-, pro-, syn-, post-, and para-probiotics seem to be beneficial for several skin disorders as well as for repairing the skin barrier and promoting wound healing. In conclusion, the skin microbiome has become a new field with great potential to develop innovative products to manage skin health and diseases. Future advances in this field may facilitate the treatment of skin dysbiosis, with nutribiotics being a suitable method for skin care.

The study of the human microbiome has been a hot topic during the last decades and more recently the skin microbiome has aroused great interest as well.

In conclusion, skin microbiome has emerged as a new field with high potential to develop disruptive solutions to manage skin health and disease. Future advances in this field may facilitate the treatment of skin dysbiosis being nutribiotics a suitable method for skin care.
