Will constipation cause bad skin?

Patient's question:

I went to a gathering with a friend yesterday, and then noticed that my friend had many pimples on their face and wasn't looking well. When I asked, they said it was due to constipation recently, which led to this condition. Do you think constipation can cause poor skin health?

Doctor's answer:

Constipation can lead to various skin problems. Because feces remain in the intestines for a long time, they are waste products of the body's decomposition and metabolism. If they cannot be eliminated promptly, they will cause issues in other parts of the body. It is recommended to drink more hot water, start your day with a cup of honey water on an empty stomach, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and develop good eating habits. After a period of time, constipation will stabilize.
