Acne and Skin Health
Do You Need a Skin Detox? Cleanses, Acne and Evidence
A “skin detox” is a marketing phrase, not a diagnosis of why you have acne or another rash. Cleanses do not establish the cause of a skin condition. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports limited evidence for detox programs and notes that some approaches can carry risks.
Gut Health & Acne: What Symptoms and Tests Can Tell You
Digestive symptoms and acne can occur at the same time, but that does not prove that one caused the other. A gut test does not diagnose acne, and a breakout does not diagnose an intestinal infection. Each concern needs an assessment appropriate to its symptoms. Nutrition can be discussed within that wider plan.
Rosacea: Redness, Triggers, Skin Care & Treatment
