Samantha Harris embraces inner beauty with Locako

LOCAKO AMBASSADOR SAMANTHA HARRIS ON INNER BEAUTY

Model Samantha Harris is the ambassador for Locako's new beauty collagen range, which features a beauty bar and powders made with collagen as well as Kakadu plum, Davidson plum and finger lime sourced from indigenous communities.

"I believe that beauty comes from within, so I have a low-key approach to what I put on my skin, usually sunscreen twice a day and some serum in the morning and at night. I put more of an emphasis on what goes in my body to create a healthy glow from the inside out. Being fit and well is what makes me feel strong and beautiful, so the main focus of my beauty regime is maintaining my mental and physical wellbeing," Ms Harris said.

Samantha Harris shares her tips on how to get a beautiful glow from the inside out:

• Collagen is a must

Ever since I started consuming collagen my health and wellbeing has definitely improved. I find it helps with my skin, my hair and my gut health. I incorporate Locako collagen snacks and powders into my daily routine starting with a spoonful of Vanilla and Kakadu Plum Beauty Collagen in my morning smoothie and have a stack of collagen bites and bars in the pantry for healthy snacks - they taste so good, I sometimes eat them for dessert.

• Fruit & Veg galore

I am not a big meat eater, so a big portion of my diet is fresh fruit and vegetables. I tend to steam or stir-fry my vegetables and serve them up with some form of protein. And I make sure I get my daily intake of vitamins, minerals and nutrients by adding fresh fruit and powerful native ingredients like Kakadu plum to my homemade juices and smoothies.

• Moderation is key

I try not to think about food too much because that is when I get a little obsessed, so I try to keep my diet simple and have a straightforward plan. I don't like to limit anything from my diet but I do prefer almond milk over cow's milk, and I love carbs but I'll cut down on them if I'm going through a phase of less physical activity.

• Vitamin C for health and beauty

My health is so important to me so I do everything I can to ensure I have good immunity. Australian natives like Kakadu plum are high in vitamin C so I incorporate these ingredients into my diet through Locako powders. Vitamin C is also a big part of collagen production - I am not trying to look 20 years younger but I try and consume as much as I can to naturally boost my own collagen.

• Exercise every day

A daily workout is a must for me. I don't like gyms so I usually exercise outdoors with my trainer in the morning, so I feel energised for the rest of the day.

• Keep it simple

Outside of work, I live a fairly simple life and enjoy simple pleasures. For a mental health boost, there's nothing better than spending time with my family and walking my dog along the beach.
