With it being my birthday month, I thought we could talk about youthfulness – particularly glowing youthful skin. It’s hard to believe I have hit 50, eek, where did the time go! But along the way I have learned a thing or two! So today I am spilling ALL OF MY SECRETS for absolutely glowing skin, at any age.
Your skin reflects your inner health
It is an external reflection of what is happening internally. So despite beauty being a serious industry/big business, it is really the icing on the cake.
Internal Skincare
The foundation of glowing, radiant healthy skin (especially as we age), is internal skincare. By internal I mean what you eat, how you take care of your body, and your emotional, mental, and spiritual health. These ALL affect how your skin looks / feels.
It took me years to get where I am with my skin – my skin is taught, youthful, clear, and glowing. I didn’t think I would have the best skin of my life at 50! BUT my skin reflects how I have majorly cleaned up my diet — and my life. My skincare & makeup are now what they should be, an afterthought. I feel confident in my skin and I go au natural most days.
All my skin secrets
So for the 1st ever I am spilling ALL OF MY SECRETS for absolutely glowing skin, at any age:
1. It starts with what I put into my body to support glowing skin, and the foods to avoid. Lots of greens, (I truly eat the rainbow) good fats for suppleness, extra hydration, and avoiding inflammatories (gluten, dairy and bad oils).
2. I drink my matcha daily to support my skin. I use Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha. It has EGCG to firm and brighten skin, and chlorophyll to clarify.
3. Then there are my go-to “skin ingestibles” as I like to call them.
The Internal Skincare Trio
There are three power supplements I use:
Collagen, vitamin C & a new supplement called B•Tox that I am absolutely loving.
- Collagen I use Agent Nateur Holi Mane -THE supplement for flourishing hair, radiant skin & anti-aging. It stimulates collagen production, hydration, and reduces inflammation (I love this brand so much I requested a discount code, it is glowwellness)
- Vitamin C Pique Tea Daily Radiance with C & antioxidants builds collagen, combats sun damage & helps smoothen and brighten skin from the inside out
- B•T Fountain (also from Pique) is revolutionary for hydration. It is proven to visibly improve skin elasticity & reduce fine lines. It also contains natural ceramides & hyaluronic acid to support a youthful, dewy glow.
Next are probiotics and prebiotics. Growing research suggests that skin care products with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics help to rebalance your healthy microbes. A balanced microbiome improves skin elasticity, clarity, and even wrinkles.
A few more tips…
A skincare routine is also essential. I talk about my skin a lot here my site – just search “skin” or “anti-aging”. I also address treatments in many of my posts. A great one to refer to is “My favorite (and not so favorite) in-office treatments to reverse the clock”.
Last, but not least, your emotional and spiritual well-being greatly impact your skin and natural glow. The most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves. You can read my latest post to learn more about that.
To anyone who is reading this in their 20s and 30s, know that there is hope for better skin as you age. I would never have believed this in my younger years…but it for sure has to do with feeling confident, comfortable, and self-assured with aging. And that feels pretty damn good!
When your deep skin layers are hydrated and happy. Together with a strong barrier, that equals supple, glowing skin.
A reminder of the discount codes for you!
