Skincare Is A Scam

SKINCARE IS A SCAM

Your skin and your gut (that’s your stomach and intestines) are connected in a cool way called the gut-skin axis. This means what’s happening inside your belly can really affect how your skin looks and feels. Scientists have found that when the tiny living things (called bacteria or microbiome) in your gut get out of balance—this is called dysbiosis—it can cause skin problems like pimples (acne), red scaly patches (psoriasis), itchy dry rashes (atopic dermatitis or eczema), and even other issues like rosacea or hair loss spots.

What Goes Wrong with Bad Gut Bacteria?

Your gut has trillions of good and bad bacteria that help control your immune system (your body’s defense team). When things are balanced, they make helpful stuff like short-chain fatty acids that calm down swelling (inflammation) and keep your gut wall strong.But if the balance breaks (dysbiosis), bad things happen:

• Your gut gets “leaky” — tiny holes let junk slip into your blood.
• This junk triggers your whole body to get inflamed.
• Inflammation shows up on your skin as redness, bumps, itchiness, or thick patches.

For acne: Bad gut bacteria can make your body produce more oil in your skin and cause pimples. Eating lots of sugary or greasy fast food makes it worse because it messes with hormones and grows more bad bacteria. For psoriasis: People with this often have more harmful bacteria and fewer good ones. This fires up a part of your immune system (called Th17) that attacks your skin, making red, scaly spots.

For eczema (atopic dermatitis): Kids and adults with eczema usually have less variety in gut bacteria, especially fewer ones that make calming chemicals. This makes the immune system overreact to normal stuff, causing super itchy skin.

If you’re looking for a tasty and natural way to support your overall health, we love our DYMA Elderberry vitamin gummies as a go-to choice. We combine powerful black elderberry extract with key vitamins like A, C, D3, and E, plus zinc and sometimes black seed oil or cumin seed for that extra boost.

Vitamin Gummies for the whole family!

Back to gut isses causing skin problems. Other skin issues like rosacea (red face with bumps) or hidradenitis (painful lumps) can link back to gut problems too.

Why Food and Gut Health Matter Way More Than Most Creams.

What you eat changes your gut bacteria super fast. Junk food (high sugar, lots of fat, processed stuff) lowers good bacteria and raises inflammation—making skin worse. A healthy diet like lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and fiber (think Mediterranean food with olive oil, fish, nuts) grows good bacteria, makes those helpful fatty acids, lowers swelling, and helps clear up skin. Probiotics (good bacteria in yogurt or supplements) and prebiotics (food for good bacteria, like in bananas or onions) can fix the balance and improve acne counts, eczema itch scores, or psoriasis redness—often better than just putting stuff on your skin.

Many creams and face washes only fix the outside a little. They might moisturize or kill some bacteria on top, but they don’t fix the inside problem causing the inflammation. Your skin has a tough outer layer, so not much from creams gets deep anyway. If your gut is unhealthy from bad eating, the problem keeps coming back—no matter how many fancy products you use.

The Skincare Industry Isnt Legit like you think.

The huge beauty industry sells tons of creams, serums, and masks promising perfect skin. But for ongoing issues like acne, eczema, or psoriasis, lots of these products don’t solve the real cause—they just cover it up temporarily. People keep buying more because the skin flares up again.

Why?

Because the root is often inside: poor diet, messed-up gut bacteria, and constant inflammation from what we eat. Bad nutrition (too much junk, not enough real food) is a big reason for bad skin—not just dirty pores or genes. Fixing your gut with better food often works better and lasts longer than relying only on topical stuff. Studies show diet changes and gut fixes improve skin more holistically than many surface treatments alone.

What we really like about our elderberry gummies is how they stand out as a premium natural herbal supplement—they go way beyond basic immune support to help with staying balanced, reducing everyday inflammation, and feeling great all year long. We reach for them especially during cold season or when life gets busy, and they help us stay strong and energized. As a convenient, enjoyable part of our routine, these gummies make it so easy to bring nature’s goodness into our day without any artificial junk. We always suggest checking with a doctor before starting any new supplement, but for us, our vitamin gummies are a delicious, science-backed way to take care of our health naturally!

Back to skin health.

The gut skin axis Pub med study report explores how the gut microbiome and skin health are closely linked through a bidirectional connection known as the gut-skin axis. The authors explain that the microbiome—the community of bacteria and other microbes in our body—plays a major role in regulating the immune system to keep everything balanced. When this balance is disrupted (called dysbiosis), it can happen in the gut, on the skin, or both, leading to altered immune responses that contribute to various skin problems. The paper highlights that many skin conditions show changes not just in the skin’s own microbes but also in the gut microbiome, suggesting the gut influences skin diseases through immune signals, metabolites, and inflammation pathways. It reviews evidence showing how gut dysbiosis can promote inflammatory responses that affect distant sites like the skin.

The ‘Impact of gut microbiome on skin health’ Pub med study report connects gut dysbiosis to several common skin conditions, such as acne where bad gut bacteria and high-sugar diets boost oil production and inflammation.

It can also result in psoriasis, and more leaky gut allowing toxins to trigger red, scaly patches, atopic dermatitis or eczema. Which is linked to low diversity in gut bacteria, especially in kids, leading to itchy, inflamed skin from Th2 immune overdrive.

Overall, the paper shows that targeting the gut microbiome could lead to better, more natural ways to treat these skin diseases instead of just using lotions and creams or drugs on the surface.

The 2019 Pub Med review, called “The Skin and Gut Microbiome and Its Role in Common Dermatologic Conditions”, explains how the tiny bacteria living in your gut and on your skin, also known as your microbiome, are super important for keeping everything balanced and healthy.

When these bacteria get out of whack—due to things like bad diet, stress, antibiotics, or genetics—it can lead to skin issues like acne (pimples from extra oil and inflammation), psoriasis (red, scaly patches from overactive immune responses), rosacea (red face and bumps tied to gut changes), and atopic dermatitis (eczema with itchy, dry skin from low bacterial diversity and leaky gut letting junk trigger allergies). The paper says the gut and skin talk to each other through your immune system and nerves (like the “brain-gut-skin axis”), so gut problems can cause whole-body inflammation that shows up on your skin. It stresses that more diverse, healthy bacteria protect against these issues, and fixing the gut (with probiotics or better food) might help more than just treating the skin surface.

Elderberry gummies by DYMA can help fix this naturally in a chill way for an 18-year-old dealing with breakouts or irritated skin. Elderberries are loaded with antioxidants and natural compounds that fight inflammation and support your immune system, which helps calm the overreactions that make acne, eczema, or rosacea worse when your gut is off. By popping these tasty gummies daily, you’re giving your body extra vitamin C, zinc, and other goodies that boost good bacteria growth indirectly (through better overall health and less stress on your system), strengthen your gut barrier to stop “leaky gut” junk from causing skin flares, and reduce that systemic swelling without harsh meds or creams. It’s not a magic fix, but combined with eating more fruits, veggies, and less junk, our elderberry gummies make it easy and fun to support your gut-skin connection from the inside—helping your skin clear up more naturally over time. Always chat with a doc first, though!

The gut-skin axis, a recent review that dives into how the gut microbiome—with trillions of bacteria in your intestines—plays a huge role in skin health via the gut-skin axis.

This two-way connection means gut bacteria influence your immune system, inflammation levels, and even metabolism, which can directly affect skin conditions. The paper highlights strong links between imbalanced gut bacteria (dysbiosis) and common issues like psoriasis (red, scaly patches from overactive immunity), atopic dermatitis (itchy eczema from low bacterial diversity and leaky gut), acne (pimples triggered by inflammation and oil overproduction), and other skin problems. It also explains how gut microbes regulate body-wide responses to prevent or worsen these diseases, and stresses fixing the gut problems as soon as possible.

Our DYMA Elderberry vitamin gummies (with black seed oil in some formulas) offer a natural, tasty way to support this gut-skin connection and help ease related skin issues. Elderberry is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm systemic inflammation, strengthen your immune response, and indirectly promote a healthier gut environment by reducing oxidative stress that can disrupt microbiome balance—helping prevent leaky gut from fueling skin flares like acne or eczema. Black seed oil adds extra benefits with its thymoquinone, which has shown in studies to support gut barrier integrity, fight harmful bacteria overgrowth, and lower inflammation markers that travel to the skin. By taking these gummies daily, you’re giving your body easy-to-absorb vitamin C, zinc, and herbal power to boost overall gut health, reduce that whole-body swelling linked to skin conditions, and promote clearer, calmer skin from the inside out—especially when paired with better eating habits. It’s not a cure-all, but a chill, natural boost—always check with a doctor before starting supplements!
