When the relationship between gut microbiome and the immune system is impaired, subsequent effects can be triggered on the skin, potentially promoting the development of skin diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gut, a host to trillions of bacteria, has a significant influence on inflammation, the immune response, and even skin ageing.
