Abstract

The human skin contains a diverse range of microorganisms that maintains local immune system in the body. An environmental condition like ultraviolet radiation also causes serious skin conditions. Skin microbiome a new insight in cosmetic technology for maintenance of healthy skin and management of skin diseases such as acute type acne and chronic skin diseases which include inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, polymorphic light eruption, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

This chapter brings an insight into a significant role of probiotics and prebiotics in the management of skin diseases, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory activity, anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic effects. In this chapter, we describe and share the future aspects on the potential advantages of novel treatment approaches that use microbes, probiotics, and prebiotics as modulators of the skin diseases.
