5 Signs Your Gut is Causing Your Skin Issues—and How to Fix It!
You’ve been experiencing skin problems like acne, redness, or dryness. What if the real problem lies not on the surface but inside your body, specifically in your gut? Gut health affects overall wellness, including healthy skin; it is only too often forgotten when using topical treatments that never seem to actually solve the problem at hand.
Your gut health directly affects your skin. In case your gut is not performing correctly, it may cause inflammation, nutrient lack, and imbalance in your body. These factors have been known to cause acne, dull-looking skin, and redness. For young professionals and new mothers, added stress and dietary change that comes with a busy lifestyle further harms gut health, allowing this unhealthy state to continue causing or aggravating their skin problems.
You probably realized how your skin could become lumpy or dullest after a stressful week or poor weekend eating. Given the fact that you are managing your work, family, and life, it is pretty frustrating when your skin calls for more anxiety than you had when you were leaving to go to a job interview or when you were making this big move to your new place. Makeup cannot fix uneven tones or flare-ups, so it’s got you feeling like this.
So, how do I determine if my gut is the root cause of my pesky skin issues?
Here are five signs to look out for:
- Persistent Acne Breakouts: Non-responsive skin conditions may point towards gut inflammation
- Chronic Redness or Rosacea : More than likely, leaky gut or an imbalance of gut bacteria leads to redness in the skin.
- Dry, Flaky Skin: Due to reduced absorption of essential nutrient vitamins, especially vitamins A and E, that facilitate hydration.
- Digestive Problems: Problems involving bloating, constipation, or irregular bowel movement are very often associated with skin disorders related to gut health.
- Tired and Listless Skin: In addition, if you find yourself feeling fatigued all the time and your skin looks dull, this may be due to poor nutrient absorption within the gut.
It doesn’t necessarily have to rocket science to heal your gut. Begin with probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt or fermented vegetables. Drink a lot of water, be mindful of processed sugars, and try herbal teas like fennel or ginger. These little acts will heal the gut and then get your skin pretty clear and bright.
