6 Daily Wellness Habits for Radiant Skin and a Healthy Gut – The Beauty Chef Approach

6 Daily Wellness Habits for Radiant Skin and a Healthy Gut – The Beauty Chef Approach

6 Healthy Habits Backed by Science

Wellness doesn’t need to be overwhelming. It’s not about complicated routines or expensive trends—it’s about balance, mindfulness, and creating small, sustainable habits that nurture your body from the inside out. So, what exactly is a wellness habit? It’s any consistent action that supports your physical and mental health.

This summer, prioritise habits that help you feel radiant, energised, and aligned. Here are six simple and science-backed tips (plus a few of our favourite Beauty Chef essentials) to help you glow from within.

1. Support Gut Health with Regularity

Did you know your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a vital role in your immune system, mood regulation, and nutrient absorption? A healthy gut starts with regular bowel movements—an essential marker of digestive health.

If things feel a little sluggish, consider increasing both fibre and hydration, or introduce a targeted supplement like The Perfect Poo by The Beauty Chef. It’s formulated with fibre-rich ingredients to support microbial diversity, stool consistency, and natural elimination rhythms.

Science Fact: The gut microbiome influences everything from inflammation to mood via the gut-brain axis (Mayer et al., Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2015).

2. Feed Your Microbiome with Fibre

Your gut is only as diverse as your diet. A variety of plant-based foods feeds a diverse microbiome—linked to stronger immunity and reduced risk of chronic disease. Most adults fall short of the recommended 25–30g of fibre per day, which can impact digestion and blood sugar regulation.

To boost your fibre intake:

  • Swap white rice for brown or wild rice

  • Add legumes like lentils and chickpeas to salads and soups

  • Include nuts, seeds, and leafy greens daily

The Beauty Chef’s gut-loving supplements, like Daily Supergreens, are packed with prebiotics to help good bacteria thrive.

Science Fact: Studies show dietary fibre acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial bacteria and promoting short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production for gut lining integrity and reduced inflammation (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2017).

3. Stay Hydrated for Skin & Hormonal Health

Hydration is one of the easiest and most effective ways to support your health. Water aids digestion, nutrient transport, and temperature regulation—and it’s vital for glowing skin and hormonal balance.

Aim for at least 2 litres of water a day, more in hot weather or if you’re active. Herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumber, strawberries, and watermelon also count.

Looking for an extra boost? Hydration Inner Beauty Boost includes hyaluronic acid and coconut water concentrate to deeply hydrate the skin from within.

Science Fact: Dehydration as little as 1–2% of body weight can impair cognitive performance and mood (Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2003).

4. Eat the Rainbow to Nourish Every Cell

The brighter your plate, the broader the nutrient range. Different coloured fruits and veggies contain different phytonutrients—plant compounds that offer protective and anti-inflammatory benefits.

  • Red (tomatoes, berries): rich in lycopene and anthocyanins

  • Orange/Yellow (carrots, pumpkin): high in beta-carotene for skin health

  • Green (spinach, broccoli): packed with chlorophyll, folate, and magnesium

  • Purple/Blue (eggplant, blueberries): great for brain health

Pair a colourful diet with Daily Supergreens for an easy green boost rich in alkalising greens, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes.

Science Fact: Diets rich in plant polyphenols and antioxidants are linked to lower oxidative stress and better overall health outcomes (Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020).

5. Fermented Foods = Happy Gut

Fermented foods are your microbiome’s best friend. They contain live probiotics that help maintain microbial balance and support immune, digestive, and even mental health.

Include fermented staples like:

  • Natural yoghurt

  • Kimchi or sauerkraut

  • Kefir and kombucha

You can also supplement daily with Glow Inner Beauty Essential or Glow Ageless Powder. These formulas provide fermented whole foods, vitamins, and prebiotics to support skin health, collagen synthesis, and gut integrity.

Science Fact: Probiotic-rich diets are associated with improved gut-brain communication, immune function, and skin barrier support (Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2018).

6. Sleep Like It’s Your Superpower

Sleep is when the magic happens—your body repairs, your mind resets, and your hormones recalibrate. Getting 7–9 hours of quality sleep supports digestion, mental clarity, and healthy skin.

Try these evidence-backed tips for better sleep:

  • Avoid screens at least 60 minutes before bed (blue light delays melatonin production)

  • Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet

  • Stick to a consistent bedtime, even on weekends

Science Fact: Sleep deprivation can disrupt gut microbiota composition and elevate stress hormone levels, contributing to inflammation (PLOS ONE, 2016).

Keep It Simple and Stay Consistent

True wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. By adopting small, science-backed habits like staying hydrated, sleeping well, supporting your gut, and eating a nutrient-dense diet, you can build a lifestyle that promotes lasting vitality.

Start with one or two changes and build from there. Your body—and your glow—will thank you.
