Probiotics: Certain probiotics aim to improve gut health and may indirectly influence skin health. They can potentially help balance the gut microbiota, reducing systemic inflammation and impacting the skin's microbiome.
- Lactobacillus: Some studies suggest that specific strains of Lactobacillus, such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, might have beneficial effects on skin health by modulating the gut microbiota and potentially reducing inflammation.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements or in foods like fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds, possess anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation associated with acne.
Zinc: Zinc is an essential mineral that contributes to skin health and has anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that zinc supplementation might help reduce acne symptoms, particularly inflammatory acne lesions.
Vitamin A: Retinoids, derivatives of vitamin A, are commonly used in topical acne treatments. In some cases, oral vitamin A supplements, under medical supervision, may be prescribed for severe cases of acne. However, high doses of vitamin A can have side effects, so it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional.
Probiotic-rich Foods: Incorporating probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha into the diet might positively influence the gut microbiota and, subsequently, skin health.
All suggestions from this page should be reviewed by your medical professionals. These are based on modelling and not clinical studies.
