The microbial population on skin varies by location and is influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, humidity and nutrient availability. Regular washing removes dirt, oils, allergens and dead skin, helping prevent microbial buildup.

Analysis revealed most beards contained significantly more microbes than dog fur - including a greater number of harmful bacteria. Our study shows a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from men's beards compared with dogs' fur.
