The Role of Probiotics for Skin Health

Probiotics for the skin offer a myriad of benefits; aside from improving gut health and maintaining the diversity of your body’s gut microbiome, probiotics can also help you deal with acne-prone skin and other diagnosed skin issues. Discover probiotics' role on the skin below and understand how probiotics and skin health are directly intertwined.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics refer to live bacteria (often called “good bacteria”) that carry various bodily benefits. Probiotics provide good bacteria for your gut microbiome, which can lead to boosted immunity, reduced inflammation, and healthier bowel movements.

What do probiotics do for skin issues?

In addition to their general gut-related benefits, probiotics do help with skin issues and health in various ways. Evidence suggests that taking probiotics for skin health can aid in preventing and treating conditions such as acne, eczema, and dry skin. Other clinical reviews indicate that probiotics can also help balance the skin’s pH and reduce the damage of the sun’s UV rays. Additionally, probiotics for acne have shown great promise in treating this condition. Studies have found that, through producing antibacterial proteins, probiotics directly inhibit Propiobacterium acnes. Since probiotics have anti-inflammatory properties, they also help decrease excessive oil production on the skin. Acne is often caused by excess oil (sebum), bacteria, and inflammation; these three factors are areas that probiotics can target effectively. Research has also found a connection between the gut and the skin called the gut-skin axis. A healthy and working gut metabolises hormones and detoxifies enzymes, so it manifests on the skin if it’s not doing its job. Keeping your gut healthy through probiotic intake can help maintain the gut’s functions, which, in turn, can lead to visibly healthy skin.

What are the best probiotics for acne?

Finding the best probiotics for acne involves eating more probiotic-rich food to improve skin health. Food items such as yogurt, kombucha, pickles, kimchi, and more are great additions to your diet if you want to increase your probiotic intake. Pairing this with drinking plenty of water, avoiding excessively oily foods, and keeping your face clean can help you deal with your acne more efficiently.
