Eczema isn’t always just about what’s happening on the surface. The skin has its own barrier, but the gut has a barrier too — and both play important roles in how the body interacts with the outside world. 🧴 Skin barrier: helps keep moisture in and irritants out. 🦠 Gut barrier: helps regulate what passes from the digestive tract into the body while interacting closely with the immune system and gut microbiome. That’s why eczema care can be worth looking at from both directions - supporting the skin barrier from the outside, while also paying attention to gut health from the inside. #eczema #eczemaflareup #eczemaguthealing #gutskinaxis #probiotic
