The old adage of ‘inner beauty’ has done a 180 over the past few years. In line with the rise of the health and wellness movement, inner beauty has gone from referring to possessing a number of affable qualities to nourishing your body with a healthy diet in pursuit of that all-too-elusive outer beauty.
While adequate hydration and a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins is necessary for healthy skin and hair, our fast-paced modern world coupled with the environmental aggressors (think pollution, ultraviolet radiation) we face on the daily can have us longing for a helping hand. Enter: beauty supplements.
Co-founded in 2014 by supermodel and entrepreneur Elle Macpherson, WelleCo is all about beauty from the inside out. WelleCo’s The Super Elixir™ daily greens has become a cult favourite in the wellness industry. Comprising over 40 natural ingredients, The Super Elixir™ daily greens contains wholefoods, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, designed to enhance energy production, support the immune system, and promote healthier skin, hair, and nails.
“You are what you eat but more importantly you absorb what you eat, so you need to make sure you’re eating five cups of colourful fruits and vegetables each day so you receive maximum antioxidant (wrinkle) protection,” explains Dr Simone Laubscher, formulator of WelleCo’s The Super Elixir™ daily greens and Founder of Rejuv Wellness. “By nourishing your body with a plant based diet, your gut can easily digest everything you are consuming. The fibre in the fruits and vegetables also acts as prebiotics to feed the good bacteria in your gut, which has a huge impact on reducing inflammation. Good fats are vital too, so half an avocado or a handful of olives will boost your [essential fatty acid intake] and give you that glow.”
If this seems a tad difficult to achieve, Dr Simone Laubscher has a solution. “I advise my clients to fast track with WelleCo, by mixing 300ml filtered water with a scoop of WelleCo’s plant-based Nourishing Protein in vanilla plus two teaspoons of WelleCo’s The Super Elixir™ [to create] the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.”
“Your skin is often referred to as your third kidney because if your body can’t handle its toxic load, you usually see this overflow dumped into the skin. [While it’s a] wonderful back up plan for your health, this can leave you with dry, dull and spotty skin. This is why true beauty starts from within,” Dr Simone Laubscher says on the benefits behind adding WelleCo to your daily ritual. “By consistently taking WelleCo’s The Super Elixir™ daily greens for 30 days you will feel invigorated, notice your belly bloat improve, and feel lean and strong – you will look and feel amazing.”
