“We're hitting the root cause and nothing else” that's how Phyla addresses acne issues. In part 2, Yug Varma, Founder and CEO of Phyla, says if you are stripping the skin of natural oil, the skin turns dry and changes.
According to him, we cannot live without our microbiome and vice versa. He advises being minimalist, paying attention to ingredients, and staying hydrated for healthy skin regarding skincare. In old age, people don't have as much acne, which is still an unanswered question.
Yug mentions that Phyla's products are gentle, microbiome friendly, and reduce not just acne but redness as well as irritation. They have 3 products - gel cleanser, serum, and moisturizer for dry skin. The brand is also coming up with smaller packaging, international shipping, and even plans for additional products.
He talked about:
* Causes of harmful bacteria on the skin
* The Microbiome
* What's good for your skin
* Phyla products
* What's next
