It’s often said that beauty comes from within—and when it comes to your skin, that’s absolutely true. More and more research shows that the state of your gut microbiome can significantly impact your skin health. In fact, imbalances in your gut flora are increasingly linked to issues like acne, dullness, and inflammation.

The Gut-Skin Axis

Your gut and your skin are connected through what scientists call the “gut-skin axis.” When your digestive system is in balance, it helps regulate inflammation throughout the body, including your skin. On the flip side, a poorly functioning gut can lead to systemic inflammation that may show up as breakouts, sensitivity, or redness.

What to Eat for a Healthier Gut (and Skin)

A diverse and balanced diet is key to a healthy gut microbiome. Try incorporating:

• Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir for natural probiotics

• Fiber-rich vegetables like leeks, onions, and asparagus to feed good bacteria

• Omega-3s from flaxseeds, walnuts, or chia seeds to calm inflammation

Hydration is also crucial—dehydration can slow digestion and dull the skin.

Skin Therapy & Your Gut

While Skin Therapy is primarily formulated to support collagen production and elasticity, it also includes nutrients like zinc and biotin that contribute to overall skin integrity. These nutrients play a role in supporting the body's barrier functions—both in the gut and the skin.

Bottom Line

Treat your gut well, and your skin will likely follow. Glowing skin starts with good digestion, a balanced microbiome, and the right daily habits.
