We’ve all heard the common expression, “You are what you eat, so don’t be cheap, fast or easy.”
And it’s great advice not only for your waistline, but also for your skin health. Along with a plant-forward diet, certain supplements and skincare products can also help you achieve the plump, radiant skin of your dreams.
That’s where ‘edible beauty’ comes in. This means starting with inner health, nourishing the body and mind, and enhancing it with pure, organic skincare products.
Leading this natural beauty movement is the (aptly) named Edible Beauty Australia. This female-founded brand is setting new standards in the industry with its products that are safe enough to eat!
And lucky for us, the beauties behind this brand are sharing their best secrets for ageless skin with us.
Here’s all the skin-loving details!
4 ANTI-AGING SECRETS YOU NEED TO KNOW
01
SPF every day keeps the photo-aging away
Founder of Edible Beauty, Naturopath and Nutritionist Anna Mitsios’ number one tip to maintain a youthful glow is sunblock. “With over 90 per cent of visible signs of ageing caused by UVA and UVB rays, I have become an advocate of daily sunscreen application,” she says.
“It feels like we really undo all of the good work of all of our active serums and treatments if we are not protecting ourselves from the sun.
“I apply a pea size of Basking Beauty SPF50 Sunscreen, $34, after my moisturiser application and use a liquid mineral makeup on top.”
02
Look after the delicate eye area
Cathy Tolpigin, Founder of The Green Edit, swears by Edible Beauty’s & Gold Rush Eye Cream, $72.25, to “hydrate, reduce dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.”
The beauty expert works as a makeup artist with women of all ages and life stages, so when she speaks, we listen!
“I recommend that they treat themselves to an eye cream in their daily beauty routine. I believe that our eyes are one of our most beautiful and unique features, regardless of our age and as the skin around our eyes is delicate.
“I love to use the Edible Beauty & Gold Rush Eye Cream, [which] contains 24K Gold Leaf extract for bright glowing eyes.”
03
Boost from the inside-out
Best-selling author and podcast host Melissa Ambrosini wholeheartedly believes that the secret to ageless skin starts from within.
“Your skin is a reflection of what is going on for you internally, so eating a healthy and clean diet is key to maintaining glowing skin.”
To support our skincare goals, adding a plant-based collagen booster containing amino acids, vitamin C and antioxidants like Edible Beauty’s Native Collagen Booster can help.
04
Pre-makeup prep is key
So many women, even 30-somethings, complain that their makeup disappears or sinks into fine lines. As we age, our skin can become more dehydrated after all.
To combat this, award-winning over 40s makeup expert Amanda Ramsay suggests prepping the skin first with the No.3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum, $79.
“It instantly plumps and hydrates, so your makeup sits better and lasts longer,” she says.
