How your digestion affects your skin (and what you can do from the outside and from the inside)

Cómo influye tu digestión en la piel (y qué puedes hacer desde fuera y desde dentro)

🧠 What nobody tells you: your skin and your gut are more connected than you imagine

Have you ever noticed that when your digestion is off, your skin reflects it too? It's not a coincidence: science confirms it. There's a direct connection between the digestive system and skin health , known as the gut-skin axis .

Slow digestion, intestinal inflammation, food intolerances, or imbalances in the gut microbiota can manifest as:

  • Acne breakouts or pimples
  • Dull or uneven skin texture
  • Tenderness, redness, or inflammation
  • Unexplained dryness or flaking

🍽️ What could be causing this impact from within?

  • Diets high in sugar, dairy, or ultra-processed foods
  • Chronic stress (which affects digestion and hormonal balance)
  • Lack of fiber or probiotic foods
  • Excess toxins that the body tries to eliminate through the skin

🍒 What can you do to improve your skin from within?

  • Increase your intake of water, fruits, and antioxidant-rich vegetables (like cherries!)
  • Incorporate prebiotic and probiotic foods to take care of your microbiota
  • Eliminate what doesn't agree with you (test dairy, gluten, etc.)
  • Take care of your nervous system: digestive and emotional stress go hand in hand

💧 And from the outside… take care of your skin for what it is: a reflection

While you're working from the inside out, use products that respect the skin barrier and don't irritate it. At Be Cherry, we recommend:

  • Cleanse without upsetting the skin or removing its natural lipids
  • Ideal-Age Cherry Serum : rich in antioxidants to combat oxidative stress
  • Cherry Eye Contour: soothes and reduces visible inflammation in the most delicate area
  • Velvet Cherry Cream : strengthens the skin barrier with natural oils and nourishing action

🍂 November: the month of the mindful pause

It's the perfect time to listen to what your body and skin are telling you.
Good digestion = healthier, brighter skin with less reactivity.
Beauty also begins in the stomach.
