What are the best supplements for your skin? Here at Mountainlife, we're champions of natural skin supplements and oils.
Your skin is precious and has to last you a lifetime, so it's important to take good care of it. Choosing natural skincare over manmade products has several benefits:
Some natural skincare supplements can be ingested to offer benefits from the inside out. You can also buy natural skin oils to apply topically. Here we've listed 6 of the best natural skin supplements & oils for anti-ageing, skin hydration, treating acne and healing wounds.
Shilajit is a powerful plant-based resin, found in the Altai mountains of Siberia. The potent tar-like substance has been used in Ayurveda for over 3000 years and boasts a wide range of health-boosting benefits.
While Shilajit is most commonly associated with male sexual health, it’s also great for regulating the immune system, fighting chronic fatigue and improving skin health.
Yes, if you are looking for a way to preserve your youthful skin for as long as possible, it’s worth adding Shilajit to your beauty regime. Rich in antioxidants, including Fulvic Acid, Shilajit helps to neutralise free radicals, inhibit cell damage and prevent early signs of ageing.
Additionally, it contains copper - a key player in collagen synthesis. This structural protein depletes as we get older, hence why we get wrinkles and dare we say it...sagging skin. Thankfully, substances like Shilajit packed full of copper help to boost collagen and in turn, tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles and increase cell regeneration. Copper also increases elastin to make your skin more supple.
Shilajit works from the inside out, so try mixing a pea-sized amount of Mountainlife Shilajit resin in water and drinking it each morning.
You can also apply Shilajit to your skin and use it as a topical treatment. Mix a little Mountainlife Shilajit powder with water to create a thick paste. Apply it to your skin as a face mask and leave it to work for 20-30 minutes.
Our customers report that Shilajit has made their skin cleaner and resulted in fewer acne breakouts. It’s also recommended as a supplement for strengthening hair and nails.

Tremella is often dubbed the ‘beauty mushroom’ and has been used for centuries for its skin-boosting benefits. Yang Guefei, considered one of the most beautiful women in Chinese history, was a huge fan of tremella mushroom skincare and attested it to her everlasting beauty.
But what makes tremella mushroom good for skin?
Tremella is rich in Vitamin D, known to help healthy skin cell growth, repair skin and prevent premature skin ageing. It also plays a role in keeping skin hydrated and subtle.
The antioxidant polysaccharides in tremella mushrooms support fibroblasts. These cells help to main skin integrity by synthesising collagen and healing wounds.
Did you know that tremella mushrooms work in a very similar way to hyaluronic acid to increase hydration and improve skin texture? In fact, it’s believed that tremella mushrooms could be even better than hyaluronic acid at moisturising the skin. The water-rich mushroom has far smaller molecules, meaning they can penetrate the skin faster and work more effectively, hence why tremella is often used in skincare products.
Enjoy tremella mushroom skin benefits with Mountainlife. Simply mix ½ tsp of our tremella mushroom powder with warm water to create a traditional tea.
Alternatively, mix Mountainlife tremella mushroom powder with water to create a thick paste and apply it to your skin for 15-20 minutes. You could also try mixing it with a nourishing coconut oil for extra skin benefits.
