Dirty Skin: Fix Your Gut & Stop Scrubbing

Your body is covered in bacteria, even when you hop out of the shower. These healthy bacteria care for your skin and fill your gut. If your gut is unhappy, your skin will reflect your inner health.

You’re probably using some products and tools that strip your skin of healthy bugs. No need to be squeaky clean. Harsh cleansers and heavy scrubbing are harmful.

You can heal your skin by healing your gut, reducing stress and caring for the skin properly.

Simple changes you can make today:

  • Swap out dairy milk for nut milk.
  • Reduce your sugar intake.
  • Eat unprocessed foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar.
  • Alternate coffee with water.
  • Take short, cooler showers.
  • Stick to gentle cleansers in the shower and use your fingertips only.
  • Moisturize when you hop out of the shower.
Listen as Dr. Whitney Bowe joins Dr. Pamela Peeke to share how you can care for your skin by caring for your microbiome.
