When it comes to skin health, we are all about using the right serums, cleansers, moisturisers and yes, advanced treatments play a key role. But what if we told you that the foundation for truly healthy skin begins within?
At Harleh Laser Clinic, we believe in treating skin from a 360° perspective which is why we’re proud stockists of internal supplements like Bestow Beauty. Their philosophy, beautifully outlined in The Gut-Skin Connection book, is simple: the skin is a reflection of your internal health. And more often than not, that means your gut.
One of the core components of this internal-skin connection? Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)... lets talk about it!
What are EFAs & Why does your skin love them?
Essential Fatty Acids (like Omega 3 and 6) are literally essential, your body can’t produce them, so they must be obtained through diet or supplementation. These good fats are crucial for building strong, healthy skin cells, maintaining hydration, regulating oil flow, and calming inflammation.
EFAs play a vital role in keeping your skin’s barrier intact and resilient which translates to fewer breakouts, less sensitivity, and a more radiant glow.
If you struggle with dry, inflamed, congested or prematurely ageing skin your EFA levels may be low.
One of the most common ways of supplementing your diet with EFA’s is to take fish oil capsules. Although the omega 3 fats in fish oil offer us many health benefits, they are not known for their ability to protect your skin. Unfortunately fish oil doesn’t provide the main fatty acid required by your skin.
Why you may not be getting enough… Even if you eat "well"
Modern diets, stress, poor digestion and inflammatory foods can all interfere with how your body absorbs and utilises EFAs. Even if you’re eating a wholefood diet, your skin may still be starved of the essential fats it desperately needs.
That’s where Bestow Beauty supplements step in...
Meet Your Skin’s New Best Friends
A carefully balanced blend of cold-pressed flaxseed, coconut, evening primrose and avocado oils designed to deeply nourish skin from within. Bestow Beauty Oil provides the exact ratio of Omegas 3 and 6 your skin needs for strength, softness, and glow.
This is next-level nourishment. In addition to the EFA-rich blend above, Bestow Plus Oil contains Lignans, natural plant hormones that support hormonal balance, and NZ-grown blackcurrant oil, an anti-inflammatory powerhouse. This is our go-to for clients with hormonal breakouts or inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and rosacea.
A daily ritual with BIG results
When used consistently, alongside a tailored topical skincare plan, our clients notice:
Softer, more hydrated skin
Reduced sensitivity and redness
Less congestion and inflammation
A dewier, plumper skin texture overall
Its easy to incorporate into your routine just 1 tablespoon a day. The very best way to take Bestow Beauty Oil is to add it to a smoothie. Whizzing it in a blender breaks down the oil into very fine globules which the gall bladder and pancreas can easily deal with. In addition, if you have plain milk or yoghurt in your smoothie the amino acids will significantly increase the effectiveness of EFA’s in your body.
The trick is to find something that you can do every day, which is why a daily Bestow Smoothie Ritual is such a great wellbeing investment.
The gut-skin connection is real & treatable
The Gut-Skin Connection book by Bestow goes into beautiful detail around how gut health, liver function and nutrient absorption directly impact our skin. One of the most striking takeaways? You can’t treat long-term skin issues purely with topical products.
Bestow's skin nutrition philosophy supports both digestion and detoxification, helping your body eliminate waste, absorb nutrients, and reduce inflammation all while feeding the skin from the inside out.

Everyone needs EFAs no matter your skin type!
