The Connection Between Gut Health and Skin Glow

Your skin often reflects what’s happening inside your body. An unbalanced gut can show up as dullness, acne, redness, or premature aging. Science now shows that the gut microbiome — the billions of bacteria living in your digestive system — communicates directly with your skin.

Why gut health matters for skin

• Inflammation: An imbalanced gut can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to flare-ups.
• Nutrient absorption: A healthy gut ensures vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants reach the skin.
• Barrier function: Certain probiotics support skin barrier repair and hydration.

How to support the gut-skin axis

1. Eat a fiber-rich diet with fruits and vegetables.
2. Include probiotic foods like yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut.
3. Consider topical skincare with probiotics for direct support.

At Dr. Dermaluci Lab, we are developing formulas enriched with probiotics to respect both skin and microbiome balance.

Conclusion:
Healthy skin starts from within. When your gut is happy, your skin naturally glows.
