The Ultimate Vitamin Guide for Autumn: Boost Your Energy and Glow Naturally
Share
Winter Skincare & Nutrition for Glowing Skin Naturally
As the days get shorter and the sun hides behind the clouds, our bodies start to crave a little extra support. Less sunlight means less vitamin D, lower energy, and sometimes that subtle dip in mood we all know too well. But with the right nutrients — from real food and nature’s own ingredients — you can keep your energy high and your skin radiant all through the darker months.
At True Organic of Sweden, we believe that beauty starts within — and continues with what you put on your skin. Here’s how to nourish both.
1. Vitamin D Benefits in Winter for Immunity & Skin Health
When sunlight fades, so does our body’s ability to make vitamin D. This vitamin is crucial for your immune system, bone strength, and even your mood.
Where to find it: Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel, eggs, and fortified plant milks. A short winter walk outdoors still helps too — daylight matters, even on cloudy days.
Tip: Combine a vitamin D-rich diet with your All You Need Is Me balm — your skin’s own protective layer against dry, cold air.
All You Need Is Me
All You Need Is Me is an organic, multi-use balm that nourishes, protects, and soothes your skin with 95% organic ingredients for healthy, radiant skin.
Buy Now2. Magnesium for Stress Relief, Sleep & Muscle Relaxation
Feeling muscle cramps or restless legs? That might be your body asking for magnesium. It’s essential for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy production — and it helps you sleep better too.
Eat more: Pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, spinach, almonds, and oats.
3. Omega-3 for Healthy Skin, Mood & Heart Health
Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, balance mood, and keep your skin soft and supple from within.
Best sources: Wild-caught salmon, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
For an extra glow, use our Face It serum — rich in chia seed oil, which is naturally high in omega-3 and gives that fresh, dewy look even in winter.
4. Vitamin C for Collagen Production & Radiant Skin
This one’s a classic for good reason. Vitamin C helps form collagen (hello, youthful skin), strengthens the immune system, and boosts iron absorption.
Add to your meals: Kiwi, citrus fruits, kale, and bell peppers.
Try pairing a vitamin C-rich smoothie with a layer of All You Need Is Me Overnight Balm — you’ll wake up with a soft, hydrated glow that feels like sunshine.
5. Zinc for Immunity & Skin Repair in Winter
Zinc is vital for cell repair, wound healing, and skin health — especially if you notice more dryness or small breakouts in colder weather.
Where to find it: Pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, lentils, seafood, and eggs.
6. Folate & Vitamin B12 for Winter Energy & Mood Support
Both are key for red blood cell production and nerve health. Folate comes from green leafy vegetables and beans, while B12 is mainly in animal foods or supplements. Low levels can leave you tired, foggy, or irritable — so make sure you get enough, especially if you’re vegan or vegetarian.
7. Probiotics for Gut Health & Clear Skin Naturally
Your gut health affects everything from immunity to skin clarity. Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and natural yogurt are full of probiotics that keep your gut flora thriving.
Good gut health shows up as a brighter complexion and stronger resilience — inside and out.
8. Iron for Energy, Skin Brightness & Hair Health
Without enough iron, energy levels drop, and your skin may look pale and dull. Iron also supports hair and nail growth.
Top up with: Lentils, spinach, eggs, and (for meat eaters) lean red meat or liver pâté. Combine iron-rich foods with vitamin C for better absorption.
Gentle Reminder: Winter Self-Care Rituals for Skin & Wellness
Autumn isn’t just about boosting immunity — it’s about slowing down, nourishing your body, and taking care of yourself in simple, consistent ways.
Drink enough water. Move your body. Rest. Moisturize. Eat real food.
And when you do your evening routine, take a moment for yourself — massage your skin with Face It serum or apply All You Need Is Me balm as an overnight treatment. You’ll wake up with that soft, healthy glow that only true nourishment — inside and out — can give.
