Pimples, zits, blemishes, breakouts—whatever name you call it, acne can be frustrating and impact more than just your skin—it can seriously affect your confidence and overall well-being.
The Gut-Skin Connection
Your gut and skin share an intricate relationship, and imbalances in your gut microbiome can lead to inflammation that shows up on your skin. “Just like if you get an imbalance of the gut microbiome, you can have symptoms; an imbalance of the skin microbiome can lead to acne,” explains Gabrielle.
When your gut health is compromised, it can lead to conditions like leaky gut or increased inflammation, both of which have been linked to skin issues such as acne.
Foods That May Trigger Acne
What you eat plays a significant role in your gut and skin health. Gabrielle emphasizes that “products like dairy and sugar can increase the amount of IGF-1,” a hormone linked to sebum overproduction and acne. Reducing these foods can help decrease inflammation and improve both gut and skin health.
Here are some dietary adjustments to consider:
- Cut back on high-sugar and dairy products
- Incorporate more whole, nutrient-dense foods rich in vitamins and minerals A, C, D, E, zinc and B12
- Be sure that your collagen and protein needs are being met
- Add omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fish or flaxseed
