The Wellness Edit – The Gut

How Your Gut Health Shapes Your Skin
Did you know that your gut plays a powerful role in the health and appearance of your skin? Often referred to as your “second brain,” your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that impact digestion, immunity, and even your complexion. This is especially true for those with problematic skin, but the benefits of a healthy gut extend to everyone.

When your gut microbiome (the balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut) is out of sync, it can lead to inflammation, breakouts, and dullness. But by nourishing your gut with probiotics, you can unlock a healthier, more radiant complexion.
The Skin-Gut Connection:
• Clearer Skin: A balanced gut reduces inflammation that can trigger breakouts or redness.
• Radiance Boost: Improved gut health enhances nutrient absorption, giving your skin the building blocks it needs to glow.
• Stronger Barrier: A healthy microbiome supports your skin’s natural defenses, helping it stay hydrated and resilient.
• Calmer Complexion: Probiotics soothe the gut-skin axis, reducing flare-ups in sensitive or reactive skin.

Case Study: Treating Acne – A skin Transformation!

Our lovely client came to us with persistent adult acne, a struggle she had faced since her teenage years. Despite trying various products and treatments, she felt like nothing made a noticeable difference. Feeling frustrated and at a loss for solutions, she decided to seek professional help.

Now, three years later, her skin has undergone a remarkable transformation!

Through a tailored combination of reparative treatments, targeted therapies, and a consistent, personalised skincare regimen, we were able to clear her skin and restore her natural glow. Today, her complexion is nearly flawless, with only the occasional hormonal breakout—a far cry from where she started.

The Journey:
– Initial Concerns: Severe adult acne, persistent breakouts, and ongoing skin irritation.
– Our Approach:
– Customised repair treatments to address underlying skin damage.
– Acne-targeted treatments to reduce active breakouts and prevent new ones.
– A personalised, consistent at-home skincare routine to maintain results and promote long-term skin health

Results:
– Clear, glowing skin with minimal breakouts.
– Reduced scarring and evened-out skin tone.
– Restored skin confidence!

Adult acne can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it feels like nothing works. But as this client’s journey shows, with the right treatment plan and expert care, clear, healthy skin is possible!

Case Study 2 – Inflammatory Skin Condition

This gentleman came to me in September 2021 looking for help with his inflammatory skin condition that affects his forehead. He was using topical steroid treatment to keep the redness down. However, he wanted to no longer be reliant on the steroid cream.

After his initial consultation, where we looked at his triggers and overall skin health, we began working on barrier repair and reducing the inflammation. Some of the triggers were unavoidable, such as stress, his job can at times be stressful, and it was an extremely stressful period in his life that triggered the condition initially, so this would be a case of managing the condition whilst those triggering factors were still there.

He started his skincare regime very gradually, focusing on barrier repair and the in-clinic treatments started immediately. In the beginning, the treatments were fortnightly until the skin was staying consistently calmer, and we currently treat once a month. We are 6 months into his program, and his skin has made excellent progress. It no longer has the angry, red, dry patches and is much more tolerant of the triggers that would once flare the condition.

This gentleman is extremely happy with his results so far. He may have the odd flare-up now and again, however, through our education, he understands why his skin becomes red and is able to manage the condition better.

Case Study: Repairing the skins barrier function to help overcome anxiety

Repairing the skins barrier function to help overcome anxiety

This client first approached me in lockdown, so the beginning of her program was carried out virtually until I could see her in clinic. She had tried lots of different products on the market and her skin would never improve. She had persistent breakouts around her lower face and chin that were pustular and could sometimes become inflamed and itchy. She had a lot of anxiety over her skin which would exacerbate the condition.

Using the wrong skincare products

Down to using the wrong skincare, the skin was also presenting as dehydrated and compromised, the condition of her skin, due to this impairment and low hydration levels was making the breakouts worse, more inflamed, and slower to heal.

Repairing the skins barrier function

We initially worked on repairing the skins barrier function to help reduce inflammation and increase hydration levels within the skin. Due to lockdown this was done just using skincare only. The skin quickly became less itchy and sore, and the pustules would heal much faster.

We then slowly introduced some actives into the skincare that would target the pustules and breakouts.

Once we were able to resume in clinic treatments this lady’s skin had already improved in terms of the overall health, hydration levels and in its healing capacity. This skin was therefore in a better place to be able to tolerate and respond to an acne targeted approach.
