It's not necessarily what we've been taught over the years, but our skin (the largest organ of our body) is truly a window into our inner health. According to renowned physician Dr. Trevor Cates (nicknamed "the Spa doctor"), there are six main underlying causes that can lead to skin issues.

1. Inflammation
2. Microbiome disturbances
3. Oxidative damage
4. Blood sugar issues
5. Nutritional deficiencies
6. Hormonal imbalances

So rather than looking at your skin concerns first as a surface-level issue, let's see if your skin symptoms might be a clue to what could be going on inside.
