A company famous for its ‘miraculous’ Glow inner beauty powder has launched a 30-day guide to inspire Australians to transform their skin from the inside out.
The Beauty Chef launched its 30 Days To Glow challenge, where participants take the $65 powder every day for a month and follow the nutrition and lifestyle tips included in the free digital guide.
Glow is the company’s flagship product, with thousands of women showing dramatic skin transformations within weeks of adding it to their diet.

Many women have shared photos of their skin transformations after taking Glow for just 30 days.
“Our philosophy is that ‘beauty begins in the womb’ because when it comes to radiant, glowing skin, we must first nurture ourselves from within,” said founder Carla Oates.
“As the foundation of your internal beauty routine, Glow is a bio-fermented beauty powder to promote healthy, glowing skin, wellness, and nourish your gut.”
Glow contains 17 certified organic whole foods including biofermented maqui berry, queen garnet plum, and pomegranate fruit peel extract, as well as vitamin C to help increase collagen and zinc production for healthy hair and nails.
The 4 Warning Signs Your Gut Health Is Dulling Your Glow
1. YOU FEEL (AND LOOK) BLOWN
Inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea can be difficult to diagnose and treat, as there are thought to be myriad triggers; however, they are often related to food allergies5 or leaky gut syndrome.
2. YOUR NAILS ARE BRITTLE AND YOUR HAIR SEEMS WITHOUT STRENGTH
When your gut isn’t working optimally, your ability to absorb and assimilate nutrients can be compromised. As a result, you may experience weak nails and brittle, lifeless hair.
3. YOU ARE DEALING WITH DELETION FRUSTRATION
If your intestines are not moving properly, toxins that would otherwise be eliminated can be retained. This can cause your lymphatic system, one of your body’s key elimination systems, to feel sluggish and also cause your skin to have to recover to aid in the removal of waste and toxins.
4. YOUR TOPICS ARE NOT PERFORMING
If, despite drenching your skin in serums and enjoying regular facials, your skin still looks less than glowing, it could be a sign that your skin problems lie beyond the dermis.
Always consult a health professional if you notice any unusual physical changes in your body.
Glow can rectify damage to the gut that causes external problems
Since skin renewal takes a few weeks, taking Glow every day for 30 days produces amazing results when combined with a nutritious diet and plenty of water.
The Gut Healing Challenge also offers a series of lifestyle tips and a shopping list to maximize the benefits of the program.
The supercharged formula also contains provitamin A, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and even more probiotics and postbiotics to nourish your digestive health.
Carla first launched the powder after she and her daughter battled eczema and noticed the profound impact fermented foods had on their skin; she never looked back.
‘From my own experience, I know how powerful taking this every day can be. It’s a simple ritual but it’s really an act of self-care,” he said, describing it as “magical.”

BE AWARE OF STRESS
Chronic stress can affect inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome, and a host of other digestive complications, all of which can lead to skin manifestations.
In fact, studies show that excess cortisol breaks down collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping our skin smooth, elastic, and healthy.
Inflammation is one of the main drivers of skin-related problems and premature aging, but you can reduce its impact by eating more fibrous foods
IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP
When you sleep, your body fights inflammation and begins a cell repair process, which is essential for healthy skin.
Aim for seven to nine hours each night to ensure you wake up glowing.
To improve sleep quality, turn off light sources and start winding down an hour or two before bedtime to lower cortisol levels.
UP YOUR FIBER
Inflammation is one of the main drivers of skin-related problems and premature aging, but you can reduce its impact by eating more fibrous foods.
Fiber supports your microbiome and promotes the creation of short-chain fatty acids, which are powerful anti-inflammatory compounds.
Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes are key fibrous foods.
Your shopping list for glowing skin: the best foods for a healthy gut
1. FERMENTED FOODS: Kimchi, Kefir, Plain Yogurt, Cultured Butter, Sauerkraut, Miso
2. HEALTHY FATS: Oily fish like salmon and sardines, avocado, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, grass-fed meat (organic if possible), butter, ghee, coconut oil
3. PLANTS RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS: Vibrantly colored vegetables and fruits such as berries, beets, dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, sweet potatoes, lemons, papaya and pomegranate, green tea, herbs and spices such as cardamom, black pepper, ginger, turmeric, basil, rosemary and thyme
4. PROTEINS: Organic free-range eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, bone broth, sustainably sourced seafood, tempeh, organic grass-fed meat, quality protein powders like The Beauty Chef’s BODY Inner Beauty Support
FOODS TO AVOID: Certain foods cause inflammation in the gut, which in turn can trigger skin problems. Gut-compromising foods can include things like sugar, gluten, alcohol, processed foods, refined carbohydrates, processed vegetable oils, and processed meats and dairy products. However, everyone is different, so listen to your gut and, to the best of your ability, eat a healthy balance of whole foods with low HI (human intervention).
ACTIVATE
Exercise helps keep digestion regular and promotes blood circulation that carries oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
Just 30 minutes a day will be enough to get your blood flowing and your skin will thank you.
CHECK YOUR DIET – ‘EAT THE RAINBOW’
A healthy, unprocessed diet is a sure step towards clear, luminous skin.
Focus on increasing your intake of fresh vegetables and fruits – they are high in fiber and contain a host of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help fight free radical damage, one of the main causes of premature aging.
While taking Bio-Fermented Beauty Powder several times a week is better than nothing, the most transformative changes are experienced when GLOW is taken every day for at least a month.
DRINK TWO TO THREE LITERS OF WATER
Proper hydration helps keep cells plump, which is essential for radiant, healthy skin.
BE CONSISTENT
While taking Bio-Fermented Beauty Powder several times a week is better than nothing, the most transformative changes are experienced when GLOW is taken every day for at least a month.
In fact, skin cell turnover usually takes 28-40 days, so be patient, persistent, and consistent.
