The Bioli Guide to the effects of biology and environment on skin health

Your skin doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Its health is impacted by a range of physiological and environmental factors, and even by your psychological wellbeing. Understanding this bigger picture can help to maintain balanced, healthy skin. If symptoms of inflammation or sensitivity do appear, looking at this broader context can help to reveal possible causes. You could say that just as we look after our skin, our skin looks after us, providing valuable signals about our overall health and wellbeing.

Bioli understands that skin health reflects multiple factors—some of which we control, some of which we don’t. On this page you can find a growing list of articles that address skincare in context.

These include how your skin responds to:

• diet;
• the body’s natural rhythms;
• psychological wellbeing.

We also discuss some key differences in:

• inflammation across different skin conditions;
• biological male vs. biological female skin;
• anti-aging treatments such as retinoids.
