There is a connection between gut health and skin challenges, including acne, rosacea, and eczema, all of which are associated with skin inflammation. To heal your skin, you must first heal your gut.

Do you have IBD (irritable bowel syndrome)? Your skin will most likely become irritated. Have you been plagued by indigestion symptoms? Your skin has probably been a little congested as well. This is since your skin and gut communicate frequently. This ongoing debate has even been given a fancy name: the gut-skin axis.

What Exactly is The Gut-Skin Axis?

Simply stated, the condition of your skin reflects what’s going on in your gut because the gut contains 70% of your immune system. Your skin will be clear, glowing, and begging for a makeup-free, filter-free selfie when your gut happily metabolizes hormones and produces nutrients while detoxifying enzymes and neutralizing pathogens. Conversely, if you’ve been skipping meals, dabbling in celebration rather than moderation, and neglecting to take the probiotics you bought with the best of intentions, your skin is bound to deteriorate.

Importance of Microbiome

The gut microbiome, which contains trillions of strains of bacteria and microbes, feeds into all of your body’s major systems and organs, thanks to neutriherbs research. Because the skin is the largest organ in the body, a problematic microbiome means problematic skin. Consider this: ignoring your microbiome is akin to sleeping with your makeup on. It will appear to be a good idea at the time, but you will come to regret it.

So, how do you pamper your microbiome so that you can have the glowing, problem-free skin you deserve?

A probiotic a day can help prevent eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, and untimely aging.

Adding probiotics to your ‘cleanse, serum, moisturize’ skincare routine is one of the best ways to de-stress and replenish a stressed-out an unbalanced microbiome. Probiotics – live bacteria – can be consumed through the diet, but introducing enough probiotic-rich foods into your diet isn’t always easy given our hectic lifestyles, so a daily probiotic supplement is healthy for your skin.

Having said that, you should take an easily absorbed, broad-spectrum probiotic that contains a variety of strains, simulating the range of probiotics you’d get from regularly eating fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats.
