With years of expertise in periocular care, Dr. G. Leong has long advocated nurturing texture externally and balancing the root internally - concerns such as fine lines, dullness and puffiness around the eyes are not merely skin-deep issues, but are closely linked to the physiological interplay of the gut-skin axis.
As a bidirectional physiological pathway between the gut and the skin, the balance of the gut microbiota directly influences skin metabolism and nutrient supply, which in turn manifests in the condition of the periocular area. Meanwhile, the gut-brain axis connects emotions and metabolism, where stress and fatigue may further impact overall bodily balance, making periocular concerns more noticeable.
Crafted for daily sipping, it offers a gentle, refreshing ritual to support overall well-being, helping you feel light, revitalized, and radiant from within.
