Acne can feel frustrating, overwhelming, and even hopeless when nothing seems to work. You’ve tried every cream, treatment, and product under the sun, but your breakouts keep coming back. The truth? Acne isn’t just a skin issue—it’s a reflection of what’s happening inside your body.

The good news? You can heal acne naturally by addressing the root causes, not just treating the symptoms. This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to achieve clear, glowing skin without relying on harsh medications or temporary fixes.

Step 1: Identify Your Root Cause

Before healing your acne, you need to understand what’s causing it. Acne is rarely just about clogged pores—it’s often linked to hormones, gut health, stress, and inflammation.

Common Root Causes of Acne:

✅ Hormonal Imbalances – Breakouts around the chin and jawline, worsens before your period.
✅ Gut Issues & Poor Digestion – Bloating, food sensitivities, irregular digestion.
✅ Inflammation & Diet – Processed foods, sugar, dairy,...

If you’ve been struggling with acne, redness, or dull skin despite using all the “right” skincare products, the answer might not be in your bathroom cabinet—it could be in your gut. The gut-skin axis is one of the most overlooked factors in skin health, yet it plays a crucial role in everything from breakouts to inflammation and even premature ageing.

Let’s dive into how your gut health affects your skin and what you can do to restore balance for a clear, glowing complexion.

How Your Gut Impacts Your Skin

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad. When these microbes are in harmony, they help regulate inflammation, digestion, and detoxification—all essential for skin health. But when your gut is out of balance (a condition called dysbiosis), it can trigger a cascade of skin issues.

Signs Your Gut Health is Affecting Your Skin

• Persistent acne, eczema, rosacea, or redness

• Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or IBS symptoms

• Increased skin se...

You’ve tried everything—high-end skincare, prescription creams, even those viral TikTok hacks. But no matter what you do, your skin still breaks out. Sound familiar? The truth is, most acne solutions focus only on the surface, completely ignoring the deeper reasons why your skin is struggling.

Acne isn’t just a skincare issue. It’s a reflection of what’s happening inside your body, your mind, and your lifestyle. If you’re stuck in the cycle of breakouts despite your best efforts, here are three hidden causes that could be standing between you and clear, healthy skin.

1. Your Gut Health Is Out of Balance

Your gut and skin are deeply connected through what’s called the gut-skin axis. When your digestive system is inflamed or imbalanced, it can trigger acne, redness, and sensitivity.

Signs Your Gut Is Affecting Your Skin:

• Bloating, constipation, or irregular digestion

• Food intolerances (but you’re not sure which ones)

• Breakouts that flare up after eating certain foods

Elevating Skin Health: My Journey as a Beauty Medicine Practitioner

The world of skincare is evolving, and so am I.

My expertise integrates advanced clinical skincare, dermatology-backed treatments, and a science-meets-holistic approach to treat skin at its core.

I know how daunting it can be when you are going somewhere new for an appointment. I have anxiety and always the night before going anywhere new I am always doing research, trying to find out what to expect and who to expect. And so, dear new client, I wanted to take the anxiety away for you, as much as possible, so you know what to expect when you come for your Tabitha Isobel appointment at Skinfinity, Middlesbrough. 

Who To Expect:

At your appointments you will be greeted by myself- Tabi, the Skin Health Specialist and CEO of Tabitha Isobel. I am the only person behind this incredible business, and so the likelihood is if you have messaged Tabitha Isobel prior to your appointment, then you will have already spoken to me personally. I try to post photos of myself as much as possible on my social media, so you again know and feel comfortable coming to your appointments because you know who you are coming to see. If you aren't already following me on social media you can by clicking...

Hi, I am Tabi, a renowned Skin Health Specialist. For a lot of you, you won't have followed my journey from the start, and so I thought now would be a great time to let you in on some behind the scenes details of who I am, and who you might end up spending time with if you do come down for a facial or Skin Health service with me in Middlesbrough.

First of all, my full name is actually Tabitha (hence Tabitha Isobel),and Tabi is my shortened name (pronounced Tab-ee). 

I started my own personal skin journey when I was 13 years old, and I suffered with severe acne, we are talking those large nodules and cysts that are incredibly painful. I ended up on multiple different antibiotics, prescribed creams, and eventually Accutane. My traumatic experience with acne, and specifically Accutane, led me to sought out a career in the Skin Industry. 

When I discovered the ins and outs of acne, I realised that actually acne medication is more of a hindrance than the cure they label it to be...

Hi, I am Tabi, a renowned Skin Health Specialist, and today, I am going to be sharing with you my updated acne prone skincare routine.

MEDIK8 SURFACE RADIANCE CLEANSER

This cleanser has been a favourite of mine for over a year now. I love that it is an exfoliating cleanser but it is gentle enough to use in your routine everyday, and you can still balance it w...

As a Skin Health Specialist I get this question asked a lot from new clients starting their skin journey 🌻

Having a facial every 4 to 6 weeks will give you optimal skin results, providing a glowing, radiant healthy complexion. Your Skin cell renewal process is approximately every 28 days which means that every 28 days your skin is changing so much, therefore what you might need one month can completely change the next month. We can speed this process up when we use exfoliating ingredients and amazing treatments such as facial services, which helps reduce skin concerns. In this case you are seeing new skin regeneration even sooner.

This is why coming for regular consistent facials gives you the absolute best chance of having healthy skin long-term.When you come for a professional facial with myself, you know that you’re getting a full service, where we can boost the moisture content of your skin, we can exfoliate the dead skin cells, and we can give your skin exactly what it needs for a t...
