S2 Week 4

I took skin samples from John and Francisco. The results were indeed great. I have changed now my procedures in comparison to when I took samples off my own face and Luisa's. I am not sure about all the samples skin type, but for a fact Luisa and I have combination skin. I believe John is normal and Francisco is oily. I have bought skin moisture analyzers and that should help determine skin type and the amount of moisture in the skin. I have assumptions yet but I still need more samples and data to conclude my thoughts. I'm excited to see what I will find :) .

 

S2 Week 3

Last week I did two facial samples. I read some research projects on my same topic and found out how I can do my research more effectively. I did not do my samples wrong but it could have been better. Firstly, it is to understand the health of each sample because if they are sick or easily to be sick, they can have differences in bacteria does not matter the skin type . This week, I spent the whole time reading so I can make a better project with proper direction. Here is the paper that has the great, wonderful direction and ideas.

Season 2 Week 2

Last week I took my own face sample but it wasn't until Saturday that I noticed that I put it in the fridge not the incubator. Can you believe that?

On Tuesday, I took Luisa's face samples and sent both Luisa's and mine's to the incubator this time. After this, I will need to identify our facial bacteria. I really need facial samples from makeup wearers and non-makeup wearers too. But look at the bacteria!!

Season 2: Week 1

Happy New School year everyone!! It feels so great to be able to start my new project on skin microbiome. It's not officially ready but I am looking for skin samples from people of various skin types and that uses makeup.
Have fun everyone!
