Skincare and Digestion Part 2: Healing Your Gut
If you missed our last blog post, you might not know that gut and skin health are heavily associated with one another. I would definitely recommend giving last month’s blog a read if this is news to you!
This month, I want to explore this relationship further, helping you to understand what symptoms to look out for and how best to heal your gut and, in turn, your skin
Signs That You Need To Heal Your Gut
Did you know that your skin is actually your biggest organ?
Many gut health experts often look to your skin to gain an initial insight into what’s going on inside your digestive tract.
It acts as a barrier between you and external factors that could otherwise cause you harm, such as bacteria, while also being one of the main systems through which your body rids itself of waste and natural toxins. That’s why it’s so important to take good care of your skin, which starts from the inside out.
But how do you know whether your gut is in need of repair?
Think like an expert and look to your skin for signs that you need to heal your gut.
A gut imbalance could be the reason behind irritation, inflammation, and congestion. These are the symptoms I would recommend keeping an eye out for, particularly if they appear suddenly and without explanation:
Poor gut health has even been linked to premature ageing, as those with autoimmune disorders and other gut problems are known to suffer from tired-looking, lax skin at an earlier age than most.
How To Heal Your Gut
It’s hard to know for sure whether or not your skin symptoms are indicative of a more sinister underlying health concern without consulting a doctor, but it always pays to look after your body.
Heal your gut and your skin from within by adding probiotics to your diet – specifically kefir supplements from the incredible team at Chuckling Goat.
If you are worried about your skin and the connection your symptoms might have to your gut health, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I would be more than happy to assess your skin to try and get to the bottom of your concerns. When you start to heal your gut, you won’t see results for your skin overnight, but longer term, your perseverance will pay off.
