Systems, methods, and devices for assessing microbiota of skin

A system comprising:

• a personalized skin-covering material sized to cover at least a portion of an individual's face, the personalized skin-covering material having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the personalized skin-covering material fabricated based on a specific topography of the individual's face to substantially conform in shape to contours of a skin surface of the at least a portion of the individual's face;
• a plurality of specific microbe-binding elements in a form for application to the inner surface of the personalized skin-covering material, wherein each of the plurality of specific microbe-binding elements is configured to specifically recognize and bind at least one type of microbe;
• and
• an enhancing component configured to enhance binding of the at least one type of microbe to at least one of the plurality of specific microbe-binding elements.

A system comprising:

• a heat source or an electromagnetic energy source;
• a plurality of specific microbe-binding elements, wherein each of the plurality of specific microbe-binding elements is configured to specifically recognize and bind at least one type of microbe;
• and
• a settable material in a liquid or gelled phase and configured for application to a skin surface of an individual, the settable material in the liquid or the gelled phase configured to undergo a phase change to a solid phase in response to an applied stimulus from the heat source or the electromagnetic energy source.
