In this informative and entertaining introduction to the new science of skin microbes and probiotics, a preventative medicine physician and staff writer for The Atlantic explains the surprising and unintended effects of our hygiene practices. Keeping skin healthy is a booming industry, yet it seems like almost no one agrees on what actually works. Confusing messages from health authorities and ineffective treatments have left many people desperate for reliable solutions, leading to an enormous alternative industry filling the void and selling products of questionable safety and unknown effectiveness.
Lucid, accessible, and deeply researched, "Clean" by James Hamblin explores how we got here, examining the science and culture of how we care for our skin today. He talks to a wide range of experts, from dermatologists and microbiologists to allergists, immunologists, aestheticians, and even straight-up scam artists, trying to figure out what it really means to be clean. Hamblin even experiments with giving up showers entirely, discovering that he is not alone in this pursuit.
Along the way, the author realizes that most of our standards of cleanliness are less related to health than most people think. A major part of the picture has been missing: a little-known ecosystem known as the skin microbiome - the trillions of microbes that live on our skin and in our pores. These microbes are not dangerous; they're more like an outer layer of skin that no one knew we had, and they influence everything from acne, eczema, and dry skin to how we smell. The new goal of skin care will be to cultivate a healthy biome - and to embrace the meaning of "clean" in the natural sense, which can mean doing much less, saving time, money, energy, water, and plastic bottles in the process.
Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR and Vanity Fair, and one of Smithsonian's Ten Best Science Books of that year, "Clean" is a searching and vital explication of germ theory, social norms, and what the modern era is really doing to our bodies and our psyches. This work explores the ongoing, radical change in the way we think about our skin, introducing readers to the emerging science that will be at the forefront of health and wellness conversations in the coming years.
