Great-looking skin isn’t just for the young! Sure, they’re usually less wrinkly, but an older face can look healthier than a younger face when it shines and glows without the help of makeup and creams.
Healthy, vibrant skin is strongly connected to your gut. A gut with a microbiome imbalance will not just affect digestion and how you break down your food, but also the integrity of your gut wall, your immune system, and your skin health and appearance.
When your gut wall is weakened, larger-than-normal food particles pass through the gut wall and into your bloodstream, and this can create imbalances elsewhere in the body, like your skin.
Skin complaints that are unrelated to a topical irritant can suggest that you may benefit from probiotic support. Supporting your gut microbiome balance with a premium-quality probiotic has been found to support skin complaints like redness, irritations, dryness and flakiness.
How does a probiotic work?
A probiotic is a yeast or bacterial strain that is compatible with your body. Probiotics introduce good bacteria and help to keep pathogenic bacteria from dominating and upsetting the delicate ecosystem in your intestinal tract. Probiotics tend to multiply quickly and compete with the pathogenic ‘bad’ bacteria for food and space to establish a healthier balance between the two.
