Gut-skin connection
In addition to the connection between the intestines and brain or weight, there is also a relationship between the gut and skin. The researchers back to the 1940s, they realized this connection and we now have more support for the importance of maintaining a healthy gut to promote healthy skin.
Current studies have shown that people with acne were more likely to suffer from constipation, gastric reflux and bloating. It is believed that the alteration of specific intestinal bacteria and increased intestinal permeability of the intestinal mucosa may be one way to explain the relationship between the dysfunction of the gut and skin. In some research, the introduction of specific strains of bacteria have been shown to have beneficial effects on inflammation in the skin and the skin homeostasis.
