When it comes to our skin, we all want the same thing: a healthy, radiant and natural complexion –without having to rely on skincare or makeup products to achieve just that. And while there’s no shortage of products on the market to cater to your skin concerns; you might find that these treatments just aren’t working. This is because the source of the issue may well be in your gut. So, how do we maintain a healthy gut you ask? Well, a good place to start is by building up good bacteria in your belly such as prebiotics, probiotics, and enzymes –which you can easily find in a number of ingestible supplements.
To help get you started we’ve rounded up 5 of the best ingestible supplements filled with prebiotics and probiotics to give your gut and skin that TLC it deserves.
