One night, unable to sleep, I was scrolling online,
I stumbled upon something
strange—something that
didn’t talk about skincare at all.
It talked about research on the gut-skin connection,
and how the health of your gut microbiome controls how fast your skin renews itself.
And what's happening deep inside your belly might be controlling,
how fast you age on the outside.
A poor gut = slower skin regeneration = wrinkles,
sagging, pigment, bloating, even weight gain.
It sounded ridiculous.
But I couldn’t stop watching the video that explained about the research.
Scientists had uncovered a connection between the
speed of skin cell renewal and your gut microbiome—that invisible
community of bacteria living inside your digestive system.
The worse your gut, the slower your skin regenerates.
It explained everything I was experiencing—dryness, sagging,
pigmentation, constant bloating, and even the weight gain
that refused to budge.
