3. Skin inflammation and acne
Yes, you read that correctly: an unhealthy gut can make its presence felt through the skin. When we notice that something’s going on with our skin, we tend to contact our dermatologist, which is perfectly fine, but we also must be aware that our skin issues might be related to our gut health.
The relationship between your gut and your skin, also known as the gut-skin axis plays a crucial role in homeostasis, the ability to preserve a stable internal state no matter the changes from the outside.
Your outer layer also has a microbiome by itself which is connected with the gut microbiome. So, if you spot acne or atopic dermatitis on your skin, check with your doctor first; maybe your gut is to blame, not your skincare products.
