Every summer, we’re flooded with talk about “the glow” - creams that promise it, foods that guarantee it, and filters that fake it.

But what if glow wasn’t something you achieved, but something you felt?

Because the kind of radiance that turns heads isn’t skin-deep. It’s the energy that comes from being rested, hydrated, and at ease in your body. It’s lightness, confidence, joy.

This summer, instead of chasing glow, let’s nurture it - from the inside out.

Hydrate from within

True hydration starts long before your moisturiser. Our skin, muscles, and minds all rely on electrolytes and minerals to function - and in warmer months, we lose more of them than we realise.

Consider starting your day with a glass of water mixed with my Daily Hydration Blend. It replenishes what sweat, coffee, and life tend to deplete - helping you feel energised, focused, and balanced throughout the day. 

It’s a small ritual that sets the tone for everything else.

Feed your skin from the inside

Our bodies make less collagen as we age, which can leave our skin and joints feeling dry and tight. The Holistic Ingredient Marine Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid (flavourless) or Marine Collagen with Kakadu &  Davidson Plum (raspberry flavoured) help to replenish and rehydrate from within — supporting skin elasticity, hydration, and overall vitality.

They're an easy addition to your morning smoothie, yoghurt, water. Think of it as nourishment, not vanity.

Eat the rainbow

A skin-supportive diet isn’t complicated - it’s colourful. Fresh berries, leafy greens, good fats, and whole foods all play a part in protecting your cells from oxidative stress.

If you need inspiration, try my Zesty Green Glow Smoothie or Tahini Broccoli Salad — both simple ways to nourish your skin and your energy levels.

Move and rest in equal measure

A healthy glow comes from circulation - from oxygen moving freely through your body.
But so does rest.

Get outside, move your body, sweat a little, then balance that with downtime and stillness. I’ve learned (often the hard way) that recovery is just as important as movement.

Choose skincare that feels alive

Opt for products that feed your skin rather than mask it. I adore the Certified Organic Mokosh range for this reason — every ingredient serves a purpose.

Layer the Bakuchiol Serum and Rich Face Cream for a luminous, healthy finish that supports your skin barrier instead of stripping it. 

Glow from joy

We underestimate how much joy shows on our faces. The moments we laugh, rest, connect, and play — those are the real glow-makers. No serum or smoothie can compete with that.

So as summer unfolds, let’s redefine glow as vitality, contentment, and lightness of spirit. Let’s build rituals that make us feel alive, not flawless.
