“True beauty comes from within.” In a world of photo filters, image retouching, and quick Botox fixes, this saying might sound old-fashioned. But now, more than ever, it holds true. The good news—achieving an attractive, natural glow doesn’t require chemicals. Natural ingredients enhance our beauty when we choose the right beauty nutrients. Discover which natural beauty boosters are trending alongside our JARMINO collagen products.
Beauty Tip 1: Radiance through healthy fats
Firm skin, toned muscles, and a flatter belly? Summer is the season when many things matter. By now, we want to shed our winter weight and often start a diet.
Sadly, this usually means cutting out fat—unnecessarily so. Fat not only provides essential energy but also supports flexible cell membranes and protects vital organs. Plus, vitamins like A, D, E, and K can only be absorbed with fat.
That’s why a balanced diet should include healthy fats. Not only do healthy fats keep you feeling full, they can also help with weight management. Nutrition experts agree: fat is essential for burning fat.
Here’s a bonus: not all fats are created equal. The beneficial ones include polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Krill oil stands out because the Omega-3 from krill oil is bound to phospholipids, which helps your body absorb it more effectively and incorporate it into your cell membranes.

Staying with the topic of healthy fats, the plant-based borage oil also offers valuable benefits thanks to its gamma-linolenic acid content. This important fatty acid supports skin health by promoting skin cell growth and renewal. This is how Borage Oil brings soothing relief to skin issues like neurodermatitis and psoriasis, whether taken internally as soft-gel capsules or applied directly to the skin.
Tip: If needed, you can gently pierce soft-gel capsules and spread their contents on affected skin areas for targeted care.
Beauty Tip #2: Millet for Strong Nails, Healthy Skin, and Lustrous Hair
Apart from valuable amino acids, iron, B vitamins, and magnesium, millet also provides the trace elements silicon and zinc — powerful nutrients that support your natural beauty. Let's begin with silicon. This trace element is also found in the silica acid of silica. It is known as a true beauty booster that works from within.
Our nails truly benefit from it. It can help support the development and growth of strong nails while combating brittleness. As an essential nutrient and building block, it boosts moisture retention in the skin, enhancing the firmness and elasticity of connective tissue. Additionally, silicon strengthens our bones and cartilage. Since silicon cannot be produced by the body, it must be taken in through diet. Pay special attention to the valuable grain millet, as it is rich in silicon.
But millet offers even more—an essential trace element: zinc. It supports healthy skin, hair, and nails. In wound healing, zinc is effectively used for skin conditions like eczema or acne and for cracked skin patches.
Good to know: About 70 percent of the zinc in our body is concentrated in skin, hair, and bones.

Beauty Tip 3: Q10 – the Antioxidant
Q10 (Ubiquinone) and its bioactive form QH (Ubiquinol) help your body convert nutrients into energy efficiently.
Here’s a beauty bonus: The vitamin-like Q10 works as an antioxidant, protecting your cells by neutralizing free radicals.
When we’re young, our bodies produce enough Q10 naturally. After age 40, production declines, so the best way to maintain levels is through diet or supplements.
Tip: Many skincare products include Q10 as a beauty booster, but why not try taking it internally as a dietary supplement for added benefits?
Beauty Tip 4: Carrots – a treat for your skin
The secret behind carrots lies in their rich beta-carotene content.
This is a secondary plant compound and precursor to Vitamin A (Retinol). Vitamin A works as an antioxidant and protects skin cells from free radicals, which are produced in the body, among other causes, by exposure to sunlight.Tip: Beta-carotene from carrots is even more effectively absorbed when eaten together with a little vegetable oil (see “Fat” above).
Beauty Tip 5: Sea Buckthorn – a Vitamin C Powerhouse
Vitamin C, like Vitamin E, is one of the body's most important antioxidants. One fruit especially rich in Vitamin C is the sea buckthorn berry. Thanks to the high vitamin C content in sea buckthorn berries, citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and kiwi often take a backseat.
Vitamin C is a true beauty booster because it supports collagen formation, which is essential for healthy skin and connective tissue. Sea buckthorn also provides plenty of beta-carotene, vitamins E and B, minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron, along with valuable flavonoids and unsaturated fatty acids.
Tip: Liposomal Vitamin C is especially well absorbed by the body. This is available as a dietary supplement, especially popular here as tasty vitamin C shots.
Beauty Tip 6: Green, Greener, Matcha
It's wonderfully green and fresh. The green leaves, like finely ground Japanese Matcha tea, hold a special beauty secret. Their vibrant green color comes from chlorophyll. This powerful plant compound is well-known for supporting blood purification, new blood cell production, and wound healing. Thanks to this, our skin receives excellent blood circulation. That leads to a radiant complexion.
Tip: You can add Matcha powder to your facial masks or whip up delicious beauty smoothies with Matcha. Japanese green tea also provides internal support.
Beauty Tip 7: Restful Sleep with Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha, known as the “sleep berry” or “winter cherry,” is one of the key Ayurvedic medicinal plants. Its Latin name, Withania somnifera, hints at its calming properties: “Withania” means “scientist,” while “somnifera” translates to “sleep-inducing.” The sleep berry contains alkaloids, steroid lactones, saponins, and withanolides, among other valuable compounds.

These ingredients are especially beneficial for healthy cell formation. Additionally, it supports the formation of collagen and can stimulate hormones like estrogen, which promotes beautiful skin and luscious hair.
As a pure natural product, it’s becoming increasingly popular in our region, because few things are more essential for a radiant, fresh appearance than sound and regular sleep. Remember your beauty sleep.
Tip: Make yourself a Moon Milk with Ashwagandha from Ayurveda as a soothing good-night ritual. Find the Moon Milk recipe here.
