The Role of Gut Health

When it comes to gut health, something called the gut-skin axis describes the connection between digestive health and skin.

The gut-skin axis is about the relationship of gut health to skin condition, highlighting how your gut microbiome affects inflammation, nutrient absorption, and immune responses that influence skin health. An imbalanced gut can lead to inflammation, which may manifest as conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis.

The gut also absorbs vital nutrients like zinc and omega-3s, essential for healthy skin. Supporting the gut-skin axis through a balanced diet rich in prebiotics and probiotics, hydration, stress management, and limiting processed foods can help promote healthier skin from within.
