Bar soap can make dry skin worse by robbing it of its natural oils and #messing with the #microbiome of the skin.

A recent study published in Science noted that infant gut microbiome assembly varies with lifestyles. A complex process of gut microbiome assembly begins shortly after human birth. New microbial species colonizing the gut depend on niches established by previous colonizing species. Therefore, the gut microbiome composition in adults might be contingent on the microbes acquired in early life.
