If you want to support skin vitality and promote graceful aging, don’t just think about what you put on your skin — think about what’s happening in your gut.
The gut-skin axis is a connection between gut health and skin appearance. Imbalances in the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability, and nutrient absorption all influence skin aging.
How gut health affects skin:

✅ “Leaky gut” allows inflammatory molecules into circulation → skin reactivity and aging
✅ Gut bacteria modulate production of key skin-nourishing nutrients (vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc)
✅ Microbiome influences antioxidant status and skin barrier function
✅ Gut-brain axis impacts stress response, which influences skin resilience
