Following a plant-based diet and maintaining it over time have demonstrated positive effects on the skin. The gut-microbiome axis has been demonstrated to be dysregulated in Western diets. In contrast, plant-based diets have been shown to enhance the composition of the microbiome, leading to positive effects. Western diets, however, have been linked to a reduction in skin elasticity, firmness, and depigmentation. Conversely, plant-based diets have demonstrated an opposite effect, as indicated by the arrow, by promoting healthier skin.
