Probiotics Help Your Gut As Well As Your Skin
Probiotics, healthy microorganisms found in yogurt, can promote intestinal health. Recent research suggests that it can help eliminate acne too. According to a 2015 study in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology, probiotics destroy bacteria that kickstart pimples.
“Probiotics are very hot when it comes to acne right now,” says Dr. Whitney Bowe, a professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine. They reduce inflammation in the body that could trigger more acne. Probiotic-rich foods include yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, tempeh, and kimchi. You can also take probiotics as supplements.
