Have you ever treated a breakout with every cream under the sun… yet the redness keeps coming back?
That’s because 70 % of your immune system sits in your gut, and what’s happening there shows up on your face long before a dermatologist visit.
Here are 3 things you can do to support your gut and reduce inflammation:
Â
1. Swap biscuits and snacks for fruit & nuts.
This lowers insulin spikes that drive excess oil production and inflammation.
Â
2. Add 1 cup of colourful vegetables at lunch.
Polyphenols and fibre feed skin-loving probiotic bacteria strains.
Â
3. Drink 2 litres of water with a pinch of sea salt every day.
This keeps the gut lining and skin barrier hydrated.
Â
Try this today: Add a handful of rocket, baby spinach, or salad mix to one meal.
