PAST WEBINARS:

Acne and the Skin Microbiome: Strategies for Sustainable Skin Health

Date: 29 May 2025

Time: 19:00 – 20:00 SAST

Acne affects 85% of teenagers, yet it is far less common in communities living traditional outdoor lifestyles—and virtually non-existent in hunter-gatherer societies. Why is this the case? In this webinar, we will explore acne through the lens of the skin microbiome, uncovering the root causes of this persistent condition, including microbial imbalances. We’ll also discuss how a biotherapeutic approach can restore balance to the skin’s microbiome, offering effective, long-term solutions without the unwanted side effects of traditional treatments. Join us to discover a new, science-backed way to support clear, healthy skin.

Restoring the Skin Barrier with Biotherapeutics: A Microbiome Approach

Date: 28 August 2025

Time: 19:00 – 20:00 SAST

Over 70% of women now report having sensitive skin, often linked to a weakened barrier. Just as we hear about ‘leaky gut,’ you can also have ‘leaky skin’. In this webinar, we’ll explore the critical role of biotherapeutics in restoring the skin barrier, with a key focus on leaky skin, and its connection with skin and its connection to conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and ageing. We will examine how skin thickness, inflammation, and modern skincare treatments impact long-term skin health. Discover the latest microbiome-based approaches to healing and strengthening the skin for lasting resilience and health.
