Ever wondered which thrift section needs a little extra TLC? Research shows male clothing, particularly jeans, top the list for dirtiest finds. #thrifting

Cotton > Polyester and Nylon workout clothes Why? Polyester + nylon, as used by Alo and Lululemon, offer durability but trap sweat and bacteria, leading to stronger post-workout odor. Opt for cotton with moisture-wicking abilities to stay odor-free, reducing bacterial growth.

Turns out, sweat is odorless. It's the bacteria on your skin that mixes with sweat, creating that distinct smell. Wondering about your unique scent? Try the Body Odor at-home microbiome kit from Parallel (parallelhealth.io).

Before buying that thrifted jacket or jeans from the #MelroseTradingPost or Goodwill, consider this: 22 out of 800 second-hand clothes (2.7%) were contaminated with parasites, including Pediculusspp. and S. scabiei, which can lead to pediculosis and scabies. #beware #thrifting

Meet Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes), a common inhabitant of the skin microbiome. While usually harmless, overgrowth of C. acnes can contribute to acne breakouts, leading to blemishes, pimples, and inflammation. #Acne #SkinBacteria #Skincare

1) Phage therapy, derived from #bacteriophages, tiny microbes that target and destroy bacteria, holds immense potential in revolutionizing skincare. Unlike #antibiotics, phages are highly specific, targeting only harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial ones untouched.
