How the Gut and Skin Are Connected: The Microbiome-Beauty Link
Your gut microbiome doesn’t just influence your digestion — it also has a profound impact on your skin health. This link, known as the gut-skin axis, suggests that imbalances in your gut microbiome can lead to skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
The Science Behind the Gut-Skin Axis
Research has shown that the bacteria and fungi in your gut play a crucial role in regulating inflammation throughout your body. An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to systemic inflammation, which can manifest as skin issues. On the flip side, a balanced gut microbiome can help keep inflammation in check, promoting clear, glowing skin.
Gut Imbalance and Skin Issues
When the gut microbiome is out of balance, harmful bacteria and fungi can trigger inflammation, which may lead to:
-
Acne and breakouts
-
Eczema and dry skin
-
Psoriasis and skin irritation
-
Rosacea and redness
How to Support Both Your Gut and Skin
-
Eat an anti-inflammatory diet: Focus on nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats.
-
Support your microbiome with probiotics: Probiotics, like BIOHM’s Total Gut Probiotic, can help restore balance in your gut and reduce skin inflammation.
-
Use skin care products with probiotics: Probiotic-infused creams and serums can help replenish your skin’s microbiome.
