How giving up soap and deodorant made Adam-Lee Potter HEALTHIER

'Washing as much as we do might not be a good idea,' says Dr Adam Roberts, a senior lecturer in molecular microbiology at University College London. 'We need bacteria as much as they need us.' The average human body contains 37 trillion bacteria cells — around 370 billion of them living directly on the skin — alongside just 30 trillion human cells. It is now thought that excessive washing affects that balance, and many scientists believe maintaining as natural an ecosystem as possible is a defence against skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
