The Root of Healthy, Glowing Skin
SKIN HEALTH FROM THE INSIDE OUT & THE OUTSIDE IN
Over the past few months, we’ve been building a picture of what true health looks like, starting with a nutrient dense diet and then exploring the power of restorative sleep. Together, these foundations nourish your body at the root. This month, we’re turning our attention to the skin, not just what it looks like on the surface, but how it reflects the health of your whole system.
Glowing skin is not an accident. It’s the sum of what you eat, how you rest, the balance of your microbiome, and how well your body regulates inflammation and drainage. While all of these internal pieces play a critical role, the products you apply topically also deserve attention.
Nutrition, Sleep & the Microbiome
The food you eat provides the raw materials your skin needs to repair and renew. Vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants act like bricks and mortar for collagen, elastin, and barrier repair. A nutrient dense diet makes all the difference in whether your skin glows or struggles. You can refer back to last month’s newsletter for actionable steps on getting more nutrients into your diet.
Sleep, which we explored in this month’s newsletter, is when your skin does its deepest repair. Collagen production rises, inflammation cools, and the skin’s barrier resets. Without adequate rest, hormones like cortisol and insulin become dysregulated, fueling puffiness, dullness, and breakouts. Beauty rest is a real thing.
Your gut and skin are in constant dialogue. A diverse microbiome helps calm systemic inflammation, improve nutrient absorption, and strengthen the immune system, all of which support healthier, clearer skin. When the microbiome falls out of balance or leaky gut develops, inflammation often finds its way to the skin.
Inflammation & Drainage
Skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis are rarely just skin issues. More often, they are visible signs of chronic inflammation and sluggish detoxification pathways. Imbalances in the microbiome, blood sugar dysregulation, and impaired drainage create a cascade that pushes toxins and inflammation outward, and the skin, our largest detox organ, becomes the outlet.
Healthy, radiant skin requires more than a topical solution. True transformation begins within through balanced nutrition, restorative sleep, stable blood sugar, and a supported microbiome. Once the inside is regulated, the outside can truly thrive.
If you want guidance on where to start, let’s connect and create a personalized plan to help your skin heal and glow from the inside out.
The Outside Story: Conscious Skincare
Just as important as what you eat and how you rest is what you apply to your skin. The skin barrier is delicate and highly responsive to the ingredients we use. Clean, natural, and wildcrafted products can provide powerful nourishment without irritation.
I personally use Maya Chia both at home and in the office during all of my facials. It is a brand I deeply trust for its quality and integrity. Their mission is grounded in sourcing natural and wildcrafted botanicals from conscious growers and formulating them using a patented supercritical extraction method that preserves the full power of chia seed oil. Rich in omegas, antioxidants, and minerals, this oil remains pure, stable, and highly potent.
Their formulas also include research backed ingredients like astaxanthin, one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature, stable vitamin C esters, CoQ10, and lupine seed extract. Together, these actives brighten, firm, and nourish the skin while reducing oxidative stress. When combined with a nutrient dense diet and restful sleep, clean and thoughtfully formulated skincare creates the perfect inside out and outside in harmony your skin craves.
My Personal Skincare Routine
For the past two months, I’ve been following a simple but powerful skincare routine, and the results have been incredible. My skin has no texture, an even tone, minimized pores, and feels completely transformed.
In the morning, I use The Super Blend or The Super Couple Ultra Luxe Oil, which are deeply nourishing facial oils with potent botanicals and antioxidants that brighten and balance the skin. I follow with The Eye Achiever, a multi correctional eye serum that hydrates, smooths fine lines, and reduces puffiness. I finish with Based Supplies Beef Tallow, a natural moisturizer and skin barrier protector that seals in hydration and strengthens the skin’s defenses.
In the evening, I use the Straight A Formula, a gentle yet effective retinol blend with botanicals that smooth texture, even tone, and encourage cell turnover without irritation. I then apply the Advanced Response Eye Cream, a nutrient rich eye treatment that firms, hydrates, and supports delicate skin overnight. I finish again with Based Supplies Beef Tallow as the final step to lock everything in and protect the skin barrier through the night.
I’m so excited about how these products have changed my own skin that I’m making them available in house in limited supply. As a special offer, when you buy one product you’ll receive 10 percent off. When you buy two or more products, you’ll receive 20 percent off. If you’d like a custom skincare protocol, I’d love to design one for you, and all custom orders will include 10 percent off all products.
Your skin is a mirror of what’s happening inside your body. When you nourish yourself with whole foods, support your microbiome, prioritize sleep, and calm inflammation, then complement that inner work with clean, consciously crafted skincare, your skin reflects balance, vitality, and radiant health.
This month is your chance to experience it for yourself.
With care,
Mandi
