Beauty from within starts with your wellbeing
Published: 28/04/2025 | Author: Oriflame
Our hair, skin, and nails are our most precious beauty assets, and caring for them on the outside is a joyful ritual. But don’t forget – true beauty comes from within. Focusing on skin health, inner beauty, and emotional wellbeing can lead to a more fulfilled and balanced life. In this article, we’ll explore how to enhance your beauty from within and feel good from the inside out.
How to nurture inner beauty through nutrition
Healthy skin, shiny hair, and strong nails all depend on getting the right nutrients to nourish and regenerate. Vitamins such as B-vitamins (especially biotin) and vitamin C, minerals like iron, selenium and zinc, antioxidants and amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) are important to include in your diet. To support your natural glow, aim for a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, berries, legumes, whole grains, poultry, oily fish and shellfish. And if you feel you’re not getting enough, Skin, Hair & Nail NutriComplex supplies essential minerals and vitamins to help you nurture your skin and beauty from within – while supporting your overall health too.
How stress impacts inner beauty and mood
Stress can dim your glow – both emotionally and physically. Chronic stress drains the body’s nutrient stores and impacts skin health, inner beauty, and resilience (Singh, 2016). Try to make moments in the day – even if they’re small ones – to relax and centre. Mindfulness, deep breathing and a few stretches, or a short walk in nature can do wonders! During periods of increased stress, try supplementing with antioxidants that help to protect the body from damaging free radicals. For example, Astaxanthin & Bilberry Extract is packed with superfoods and vitamins to combat ageing, inflammation, and chronic stress.
Beauty sleep and the mind-body connection
It’s not called beauty sleep for nothing! If you’re burning the candle at both ends, you’re not doing your inner beauty or your overall wellbeing any favours – and it shows! During sleep, your body repairs and renews itself. Without enough rest, your skin can lose its vibrancy and elasticity. Create a soothing bedtime ritual: swap phone scrolling for a book, light a calming candle, run a warm, scented bath, and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night. If you haven’t been sleeping well, chances are you need some extra help. The Wellness Pack for Women and Men deliver nutrients that support the immune system, nervous system, and cell renewal – helping you feel refreshed inside and out.
How movement enhances inner beauty and mood
Exercise doesn’t just keep your body in shape, it keeps your inner beauty in shape too! Getting the blood pumping is important to transport oxygen and nutrients around your body to support cell function and boost your mood. Try to incorporate physical activity into your day – a 30-minute power walk at lunchtime or whatever fits your lifestyle will benefit beauty from within, physical and emotional health.
The link between gut health and inner beauty
Your gut microbiome plays a crucial role in both skin health and mental wellbeing. A balanced, diverse microbiome has been linked to improved skin conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (Salem et al., 2018). It also supports the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which help regulate mood, sleep, and appetite – all essential for nurturing inner beauty.
Keep your gut happy with plenty of fibre, fermented foods like yoghurt and vegetables, bananas, garlic and onions – or with support from our Prebiotic Fibre Drink and Probiotic L. plantarum 299V™ supplements. And when life gets busy, Natural Balance Shakes offer a quick, nutritious way to support digestion and boost beauty from within.

Habits to avoid for lasting inner beauty
Just as there are many ways to boost your inner beauty and mood, there are also a few things to limit – like exposure to cigarette smoke, pollution, excessive caffeine, alcohol, and junk foods. And don’t forget sunscreen when you’re outdoors, even on cloudy days. All these factors can trigger free radical reactions in the body, leading to stress, premature ageing, and oxidative damage. To support your body’s natural defence system, make sure your diet includes plenty of antioxidant-rich foods, like colourful berries, fruits, and vegetables.
In our pursuit of beauty from within, we often focus solely on the external, neglecting the profound impact that inner wellbeing can have on our appearance and happiness. While skincare routines and beauty products are undeniably important, true beauty blossoms from within. Discover the holistic approach to beauty that not only enhances your physical appearance but also enriches your overall wellbeing and happiness.
