How Your Gut Affects Acne—The Inside-Out Fix

You’re slathering on all the serums, drinking tons of water, even cutting dairy—but those breakouts still won’t quit. What if the problem isn’t on your face… but in your gut? 🧠✨ Welcome to the skin-gut connection—a science-backed link that might just change your skincare game forever.

🦠The Gut-Skin Axis Is Real The gut and skin communicate through what scientists call the “gut-skin axis.” When your gut microbiome (the trillions of bacteria living in your digestive system) is balanced, it supports reduced inflammation, improved nutrient absorption, and better hormonal regulation—all major players in clearer skin. But when things go off (hello, processed food, stress, antibiotics), toxins can leak into the bloodstream (aka “leaky gut”), triggering inflammation and—you guessed it—acne.

🥗Feed Your Skin from Within A gut-healing diet is more powerful than any 10-step routine. Focus on these MVPs:

• Probiotic foods like kimchi, yogurt, kefir, and miso to repopulate good bacteria
• Prebiotic fiber from onions, garlic, bananas, and oats to feed those bacteria
• Polyphenol-rich foods like berries, green tea, and olive oil to reduce inflammation. And don’t forget: high-sugar, ultra-processed foods feed the bad guys. Keep it clean and colorful.

🧬Supplements That Support Both Worlds If your skin isn’t responding to topical treatments, adding the right gut-focused supplement can help. Look for a synbiotic (pre + probiotic), or ingredients like L-glutamine for gut lining repair and zinc to reduce inflammation. Greenlab’s formulas are designed to support both gut harmony and skin clarity—because beautiful skin starts on the inside.

🌿The Bottom Line Clear skin isn’t just about what you put on your face—it’s about what’s going on inside your body. Your gut is your skin’s secret BFF. Support it, and your skin will thank you.
