French company Codif has studied the impact of our lifestyle on skin microbiota on 62 volunteers identified “without hectic lifestyle” or “with a temporary hectic lifestyle.” The analysis of the differences between hectic and non-hectic volunteers showed that the microbial print of the skin is completely different during a hectic period and dysbalanced, and also that the microbiota diversity is impact.
