The skin as a mirror of the intestine
How digestion and microbiome influence your skin
"Skin health begins in the gut. Strengthening the microbiome automatically strengthens the skin." – Dr. Whitney Bowe, dermatologist and microbiome researcher
Radiant skin doesn't start on the surface—it develops from within. More and more studies are demonstrating a direct connection between the gut and the skin. This so-called gut-skin axis influences inflammation, nutrient supply, and even hormonal processes. Therefore, anyone suffering from skin problems should not only resort to skincare, but also focus on their digestion.
The gut-skin axis – how everything is connected
The gut is one of the most important control centers of our body. It houses the majority of our immune system, and the microbiome—the totality of our intestinal bacteria—regulates key processes such as hormone metabolism, detoxification, and micronutrient absorption. These processes have a direct impact on the appearance of our skin.
The intestine as a cause of skin problems
An imbalance in the gut microbiome (dysbiosis) can cause leaky gut, allowing toxins to enter the bloodstream. The result: silent inflammation that can exacerbate skin problems such as acne, atopic dermatitis, or rosacea. A slow metabolism or impaired digestion can also cause skin to appear pale, dry, or dull.
Micronutrients & medicinal mushrooms – support from within
The BEAUTY PRIMER contains a valuable complex of B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, and adaptogenic mushrooms such as reishi and oyster mushroom. These micronutrients contribute to collagen formation, cell regeneration, and a healthy complexion – provided they can be optimally absorbed in the intestines.
Tips for a healthy intestinal flora & better skin
- Fiber and bitter substances (e.g. in artichoke, ginger, dandelion) promote good
intestinal bacteria - Probiotics & prebiotics help build a stable microbiome
- Stress reduction (e.g. through adaptogens such as Reishi) stabilizes the gut-brain-skin axis
- Sufficient fluids, exercise and sleep support regeneration
Super combination: SUPER DEBLOAT & BEAUTY PRIMER
SUPER DEBLOAT was developed to gently support digestion, reduce bloating, and optimize nutrient absorption. Combined with the BEAUTY PRIMER , it can specifically supply the skin with regenerating micronutrients – for a visibly improved complexion and a good feeling.
