Radiance or Resilience – Which One is Right for You?

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between Radiance and Resilience, you’re not alone. Oftentimes we are asked if you should take one over the other, alternate them every other day or use both at the same time. While they both contain unique, powerful and comprehensive blends – high in adaptogens, antioxidants and probiotics – they each provide different benefits and different experiences for different reasons.

So let’s take a moment to talk about why gut-health is so crucial for our skin and body – here’s a short summary:

Disrupted gut flora can lead to a “leaky gut” and wreak havoc on your entire body:

Skin – dry, irritable and inflamed skin, or in more serious cases as acne, rosacea, eczema flare-ups, psoriasis and dermatitis

Body – nutrient deficiencies, food allergies and depleted energy, which when left unchecked can lead to inflammation, reduced immunity and even autoimmune diseases

Your gut is connected to your skin and body in many ways – so if you nourish your gut, you’ll nourish your skin and body – that’s why this deep and powerful connection is key to our overall well-being and why we center our products around our AuraFlora probiotic blend.
