Radiance from Within: How to Support Skin, Hair & Nail Health

There’s a moment many of us reach — standing in front of the mirror, wondering when our skin started looking dull, our hair a little thinner, and our nails more prone to breakage. It’s not vanity. It’s about wanting to feel good in your own skin, especially when hormonal changes around your late 30s and 40s begin to shift how your body behaves.

The truth is, skin, hair and nail health is more than just surface-level. These are reflections of what’s happening inside. And the good news? A few thoughtful tweaks to your routine can make all the difference.

1. 1. Understand What’s Changing
      As we age, our bodies produce less collagen — the protein that gives skin its firmness, keeps hair strong and nails resilient. Oestrogen levels also start to dip during perimenopause, which can affect hydration, elasticity, and the rate at which hair grows. Knowing this helps you focus your care where it counts.
   2. Nourish with the Right Nutrients
      Your body needs building blocks to maintain radiance. That includes vitamins like Biotin (for stronger nails and glossier hair), Zinc (to support repair), and antioxidants to help fight oxidative stress that can speed up the ageing process. These nutrients can be found in a varied, balanced diet rich in leafy greens, colourful vegetables, nuts, seeds, and oily fish — but many women choose to supplement, too, to help fill in the gaps.
      Our blend in The Art of Radiance was designed with this in mind — packed with nutrients that work behind the scenes to support beauty from within.
      
   3. Hydrate Inside and Out
      Drinking enough water is a great start, but true hydration goes deeper. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid help the skin retain moisture, while essential fatty acids support a healthy skin barrier. Keep your skincare routine simple and nourishing, and make sure you’re getting enough omega-3s and healthy fats in your diet.
   4. Protect Against Environmental Stressors
      Your skin is on the frontline — constantly exposed to pollution, UV rays, and environmental toxins that can damage cells and accelerate ageing. Daily SPF, antioxidant-rich foods, and skincare containing protective ingredients can help form a barrier against these stressors. Supplements containing vitamins C and E can also help support your skin’s resilience from the inside out.
   5. Tend to Your Sleep
      Skin renews itself during sleep — and if your sleep is patchy (as it so often is during perimenopause), your skin may start to show it. Wind-down routines, screen breaks before bed, and calming rituals like gentle movement or journaling can help your body settle. Supplements that support natural rest can be useful if sleep isn’t coming easily
      
   6. Be Patient and Gentle with Yourself
      You won’t wake up glowing overnight — and that’s okay. Radiance is as much about feeling good as it is about looking good. Give your body time, offer it the support it needs, and try not to compare your journey with anyone else’s.

When it comes to feeling radiant, there’s no single magic bullet — but with the right blend of nutrition, rest, and self-care, you can give your body what it needs to thrive.
