When your stomach (gut) is not healthy, your skin often shows it. Scientists call this the “gut–skin connection.”
If the gut is irritated, your immune system gets overactive → more skin flare-ups.
If good bacteria are missing, bad ones take over → more bloating, more pimples.
If the gut lining is weak, tiny leaks happen → more body inflammation.
Studies show this matters in eczema, psoriasis, and acne — especially hormonal acne. Some probiotics (the “good bacteria”) have been proven in trials to reduce acne and eczema symptoms. Certain nutrients like collagen and glutamine can help heal the gut wall. And lifestyle changes — like less sugar, alcohol, and junk food — reduce inflammation that hurts both gut and skin.
👉 In short: A calmer gut = calmer skin.
That’s why we use a simple plan to “reset” the gut — to lower irritation, bring back good bacteria, repair the gut lining, and make digestion smoother. Follow these steps for 6 weeks, and you may see not just better digestion, but also better skin balance.
🌿 Gut Reset
Better gut balance → better skin balance
1️⃣ Reduce irritation (don’t hurt your stomach)
❌ Don’t: too much coffee, alcohol, spicy fried food, junk food, too many painkillers.
❓ Why: these thin your stomach lining → causes reflux, bloating, sakit perut.
✅ Instead: drink green tea, barley water, eat nasi campur with grilled fish + sayur rebus.
2️⃣ Repopulate good bacteria (grow the “good bugs”)
❌ Don’t: overuse antibiotics (unless doctor says), take too much junk/3-in-1 drinks, or sugar-free sweeteners.
❓ Why: they kill good bacteria → bad bacteria take over → bloating, angin.
✅ Instead: eat tempeh, tapai, kimchi, yogurt (Farm Fresh, Fernleaf).
💊 Add probiotics: Bio-Life AB Adult 5, Blackmores Probiotics+.
3️⃣ Repair the gut lining (heal the “wall” of your tummy)
❌ Don’t: too much sugar, cakes, candy, alcohol, or fasting too long.
❓ Why: sugar + alcohol damage the gut wall, skipping meals lets acid burn.
✅ Instead: eat sup tulang, ikan bilis broth, fish skin (collagen), ikan tenggiri, chia seeds (omega-3), kacang tanah, biji labu (zinc).
💊 Add collagen powder (Kinohimitsu), glutamine (Now Foods), fish oil (Blackmores).
4️⃣ Rebalance digestion (make digestion smoother)
❌ Don’t: eat too fast, eat until overfull, eat right before tidur, or sit all day.
❓ Why: fast eating → bloating, overeating → reflux, late meals → indigestion, no movement → constipation.
✅ Instead: chew slowly, eat smaller meals, drink limau nipis water or eat ulam (pegaga, ulam raja), walk 10 minutes after makan.
🕒 Timeline
Week 1–2: Cut out irritants, start probiotics (tempeh, yogurt).
Week 2–4: Add healing foods (sup tulang, ikan, seeds).
Week 4–6: Practice slow eating, smaller meals, light walking after makan.
After 6 weeks: Keep probiotics + fiber foods daily for long-term skin + gut health.
🌱 Think of your gut like a garden
Don’t pour poison in. (cut irritants)
Plant good seeds. (good bacteria)
Fix the fence. (repair lining)
Water it properly. (better digestion habits)
✨ Strong gut → healthy skin, better healing, more glow.
