What influences a healthy and youthful appearance?

A healthy and youthful appearance isn’t just the result of perfect skincare. It’s a combination of internal and external factors that are often overlooked – but greatly affect how you look… and how you feel.

In this article, we’ll explore 5 less obvious areas that can influence the appearance of your skin, the quality of your hair, and your overall sense of freshness – and you might realise that some of them never even crossed your mind before.

1. Genetics – the foundation we work with

Each of us starts with a different set of traits. Genetics influence skin type, elasticity, the rate of ageing, and tendencies toward pigmentation or acne.

But that doesn’t mean you have no control over how you look.
On the contrary – with the right care, nutrition, and mindset, you can make the most of what you were “given.”

💡 Collagen and hyaluronic acid support the body where natural production declines with age.

2. Environment – air, light, smog

City life, office air, air conditioning, wind, smog – all of these affect the skin more than it might seem.
Polluted air can clog pores, weaken the skin barrier, and contribute to premature ageing.

What helps:

spending more time in fresh air
SPF protection during the summer months
a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin C

🌿For example, Camu Camu in our capsules is a natural source of vitamin C – ideal for an intense lifestyle in an urban environment.

3. Digestion and microbiome – health starts in the gut

It may sound surprising, but the state of your digestion and gut microbiome also reflects on your skin.
When digestion isn’t functioning optimally, it can lead to inflammation, skin impurities, mood swings, and hormonal imbalances.

What helps:

plenty of fibre, fermented foods
eating in a calm environment and maintaining regularity
hydration + gentle support from within

💊 Supplements with a clean formula and no unnecessary additives (like those from Divique) are gentle on digestion and fit naturally into your daily routine.

4. Hormonal balance – a delicate system

Hormone levels fluctuate throughout life – and with them, the condition of your skin, hair, and mood. You may notice significant changes during PMS, pregnancy, or times of stress.

You don’t need to overcomplicate it – but it’s helpful to learn to listen to your body.

What can help:

a slower pace
supporting sleep and inner calm
high-quality proteins and fats in your diet

✨ Sometimes the best care is simply taking a few minutes just for yourself.

5. Your approach to yourself – inner attitude reflects outwardly

A healthy and youthful appearance isn’t just about physical factors. It’s also about how you see yourself.
Confidence, self-acceptance, and kindness toward yourself all show in your expression, posture, and eyes.

💛 Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean being perfect. It means wanting to feel good in your own skin.

Whether it’s through collagen, fresh vegetables, a new cream, or simply giving yourself a moment of peace today – it all counts.

It’s not about one miracle solution, but the synergy of multiple factors

Genetics, environment, hormones, digestion, and how you treat yourself – all of these form the mosaic we call a “youthful appearance.”
