Insulin Sensitivity Complexion

Meaning

Insulin Sensitivity Complexion is a term used to describe the visible dermatological manifestations of an individual’s systemic insulin sensitivity or resistance status. A highly insulin-sensitive state is associated with a clear, luminous, and well-hydrated complexion due to balanced cellular metabolism and reduced inflammation. Conversely, poor insulin sensitivity can manifest as skin changes like acanthosis nigricans, increased oiliness, and a propensity for inflammatory conditions. The skin acts as a functional mirror of internal metabolic efficiency.
