257: Five Minute Friday: Biohacking Your Skin's Microbiome - a podcast by Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS @beautybydrkay

Hi Beauties,

This week on Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, we talk about prebiotics and how they're beneficial for your skin. Prebiotics are types of dietary fibers that sustain the beneficial microorganisms in the gut. During the process of digestion, prebiotics cannot be broken down because they are non-living, fermented carbohydrates. However, this fiber helps the gut bacteria produce nutrients for the colon cells, which ultimately leads to a healthier digestive system. Prebiotics help offset factors that lead to redness, dryness, and aging. By applying Prebiotics to the skin, Probiotics thrive, keeping the surface of the skin balanced, youthful, and strong. Have a question or something you'd like covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com!
