Hi friend, hope you are well!
Between managing work, family, & the never-ending to-do list, it's so easy to overlook our own care. But here’s the good news: achieving naturally radiant, healthy skin doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. It’s about making small, intentional choices each day — & the good news, those choices quickly add up!
If you're looking for a simple, all-natural ways to boost your skin's health & glow, here are 3 powerful steps to support your skin naturally & nurture it from the inside out.
1. Nourish from Within
Did you know that starting in our mid-20s to early 30s, our bodies begin producing about 1% less collagen each year. By the time we reach our 40s & 50s, this reduction becomes more noticeable — leading to signs like fine lines, sagging skin, & decreased elasticity. While this can be discouraging to hear, it is also true that we can fuel our bodies with these natural collagen-boosting foods like:
-
Bone broth – rich in collagen & gelatin
-
Citrus fruits & berries – high in vitamin C for collagen synthesis
-
Leafy greens – packed with antioxidants & vitamin
-
Nuts & seeds – especially pumpkin seeds (zinc!) & chia/flax (omega-3s)
-
Eggs & lean meats – provide amino acids like proline & glycine
-
Fish (especially with skin) – another excellent collagen source
These nutrients are the essential building blocks of collagen — the protein that keeps your skin firm, smooth, & elastic. Consuming a diet rich in collagen-boosting foods can help support & sustain healthy levels. Bonus: these nourishing foods don’t just benefit your skin — they also boost your energy, strengthen your immune system, & help you feel amazing from head to toe!
2. Use Natural Skincare Ingredients
You don’t need a product with 15+ ingredients to have beautiful skin. In a world full of flashy marketing and endless skincare aisles, it’s easy to forget the power of pure, plant-powered goodness.
Today’s beauty industry often focuses on what we lack — convincing us that the only path to radiant skin is through complicated formulas & expensive routines. But true nourishment doesn’t have to be complicated.
Simple, natural oils like Rose Hip, Sweet Almond, & Jojoba are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, & essential fatty acids. They hydrate deeply, support collagen production, & help your skin glow — the way it was always meant to.
Your skin doesn’t need a long list of lab-created ingredients. It needs care. It needs nourishment. And sometimes, the most powerful skincare comes straight from nature.
Best of all? These oils are gentle, effective, & multitask just like you do — smoothing fine lines, calming inflammation, & restoring your skin’s natural balance.
3. Protect Your Skin Daily
Even just a few minutes in the sun can begin to impact your skin — but that doesn’t mean you need to avoid the sunshine altogether. In fact, safe sun exposure is essential for healthy vitamin D levels, which support mood, immunity, & even skin health.
The key is finding the balance: enjoying the sun mindfully, while taking steps to protect your skin from overexposure. Try getting your vitamin D during the early morning or late afternoon hours, when UV rays are gentler. When you'll be out longer or during peak hours, opt for mineral-based protection & botanical-rich moisturizers that hydrate and support your skin’s natural barrier.
Your body was made to thrive in the sunshine — just be sure to soak it in wisely.
I hope you know that taking care of your skin isn’t vanity — it’s an act of love. A few mindful moments a day is all it takes to nourish your body, uplift your spirit, & feel good in your own skin.
With love,
Brooke Summers
