Precise Conditions
Can probiotics help with acne or spots?
Acne, or spots, are caused by toxins in the body. Acne-causing toxins can build up due to factors such as air pollution; overactive hormones; and largely, from dysbiosis.
Dysbiosis is an imbalance of good (probiotic) and bad (pathogenic) bacteria in the gut, and is caused by various environmental factors including prolonged antibiotic therapy. Symptoms of dysbiosis include low energy levels, Candida overgrowth, sluggish bowel, indigestion, and acne.
Although evidence remains relatively sparse on the matter of probiotics and skin health, research suggests that higher levels of probiotics such as acidophilus should decrease the body's production of toxins by improving digestion, as well as more effectively neutralising the toxins which are already present in the system. Whether for an ongoing acne problem or the occasional spot, supplementing the body's levels of good bacteria is therefore thought to have a beneficial long term effect on skin health.
