Dry, dull, breakout-prone skin in winter? It’s more than just the weather.

While we often reach for heavier moisturisers or hydrating serums when the temperature drops, what’s happening inside your body—especially in your gut—can play an even bigger role in how your skin looks and feels during the colder months.

At The Gut Cø, we believe that radiant skin starts in the gut. Here’s why.

Why Skin Suffers in Winter

Winter affects your skin in a few obvious ways—colder air, less humidity, indoor heating—but it also impacts your internal systems:

• Sluggish digestion due to heavier meals and reduced movement
  

• Lower hydration from drinking less water
  

• Compromised detox pathways from slower liver and gut function
  

• Reduced sun exposure, which affects vitamin D levels (key for skin health and immunity)
  

All of this can lead to increased inflammation, breakouts, dryness, and dullness.

The Gut–Skin Connection

Your gut and skin are more connected than you think. A compromised gut—whether it’s inflammation, a disrupted microbiome, or a weakened gut lining—can show up as:

• Acne and breakouts
  

• Redness or irritation
  

• Dryness and flakiness
  

• Dull, uneven tone
  

• Premature ageing
  

When digestion is functioning well, your body absorbs more nutrients, clears toxins effectively, and reduces inflammatory responses—all of which contribute to healthy, glowing skin.

How to Support Skin from the Inside Out

01 Support your gut lining

REPAIR {gut + skin} includes Glutamine and Aloe vera to support gut lining integrity, helping to reduce inflammation and support clear, calm skin.

02 Feed your microbiome

FEED {gut + immune} delivers prebiotics, probiotics, and essential vitamins (like D3 + K2) to support microbial balance and overall digestive health—crucial for clear skin.

03 Boost collagen + antioxidant intake

REPAIR also features hydrolysed collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich superfoods (like Kakadu plum + Maqui berry) to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance.

Glow From Within This Winter

Topical skincare is important—but it’s only part of the equation. When you support your gut, you give your skin what it truly needs to stay hydrated, clear, and resilient through the colder months.

Try this winter skin ritual:

• Start your day with FEED to nourish your gut + immune system
  

• Take REPAIR daily to support skin hydration + repair from within
  

• Drink more water than you think you need
  

• Add warming, gut-friendly meals that are easy to digest
  

Because healthy, glowing skin isn’t just a summer thing.
