A leaky gut is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged and more permeable, allowing harmful substances such as bacteria, toxins, and undigested food particles to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger an immune response and lead to inflammation. Other potential health problems include digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, and at times, mental health issues.

On the other hand, an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to more inflammation, which worsens existing skin conditions or triggers new ones. Our gut is also in charge of absorbing nutrients that are important for healthy skin, such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and selenium. When the state of the gastrointestinal system is poor, it negatively impacts nutrient absorption.
