Foreword

We get goosebumps if someone strokes our skin gently. The reason for this is

that a tiny hair-erector muscle the arrector pili, located deep in each hair

follicle responds to nerve signals from the brain. Our hairs stand on end,

and the layer of air they trap protects us against the cold.

The skin, our bodys outer shell, is a fascinating organ that embodies

memories from its evolutionary development. Yet given that its our largest

organ, with a surface area of two square metres, we know surprisingly little

about it either about its structure, or about how best to take care of it.

We know that oily fish are good for the brain, that olive oil is good for the

heart, and that the calcium in yoghurt strengthens the skeleton.

But what about our skin?

This book takes a fresh look at the skin from a holistic perspective.

What can the latest research tell us about our skin? Whats your own

personal skin type, and what is its current status? What can you do to

make your skin healthier? And what role do the skins micro-organisms

play? How can nutrition and lifestyle affect skin health?

Science is advancing all the time, and right now major discoveries are

being made about the skins own microbiome: its bacterial flora, comprising

hundreds of millions of micro-organisms that work together with skin cells

and which, we now know, play a decisive role in our health.

At the same time, we expose our skin to too many antibacterial substances

in our daily skincare products. Currently, scientific congresses worldwide are

discussing how cosmetics and skincare affect our skins microbiome, which

is comparable to the gut microbiome, long known to be vulnerable to the

effects of preservatives and processed food.

Theres a plethora

of products but often

no research to show

they do what it says on

the tin. Shouldnt we hit

the reset button?

To say that I find skin fascinating would be an understatement. My personal

interest began in my childhood, when I had vitiligo, a disorder affecting the

skins pigmentation, resulting in patches or spots of lighter skin. I wasnt at

all bothered by this as a child. I felt I was unique, and I was happy to identify

with my favourite breed of dogs, dalmatians. I was proud of my patchy skin.

But things got worse in my teenage years. The desire to be the same as everyone

else replaced the desire to be unique.

Our skin affects our self-image. Some variations in our skins appearance
