Beautiful Hair, Skin and Nails

Beautiful Hair, Skin and Nails
  • Health advice
  • Sep 22, 2020
The health of your hair, skin and nails is typically a good indicator of your overall health. However as soon as the heating gets switched on, it starts to have an adverse effect on your each one of these:
  • Hair becomes dull, dry, frizzy and coarse
  • Skin becomes dry and tight, and if especially bad, can lead to flaking, cracking, itching and inflammation
  • Nails become weak, split and break easily
Everyday factors, including your nutritional status, the foods you choose, your hair and body products can all impact the health of your hair, skin and nails.

4 Important Building blocks for healthy hair, skin and nails

Strong healthy hair, smooth glowing skin and strong nails are all made up of healthy connective tissue derived from proteins; collagen provides strength and firmness, elastin provides elasticity and flexibility while keratin provides structural support for hair, skin and nails.
  1. Biotin belongs to the vitamin B family (vitamin B7) and helps build up keratin levels in the skin, hair and nails. A biotin deficiency may lead to a dry scalp, hair loss, dermatitis, eczema and dry, flaky skin or brittle nails. Biotin helps normalise your body’s oil secretions.
  2. Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein that attracts and binds water to keep your skin ‘plumped up’ and hydrated for firmer, healthier looking skin and to strengthen hair, skin and nails. Collagen can help to replenish lost or declining levels of collagen.
  3. Omega-3’s keep your skin hydrated and ‘plumped-up’ improving the tone and flexibility of your skin; particularly important if you have dry, flaking or rough skin.
  4. Silica is an important trace mineral found in abundance in hair, skin and nails and is essential for keratin production and cross-linking of collagen. Keratin and collagen support the strength, integrity and elasticity of hair, skin and nails.

Top 4 lifestyle tips for healthy hair, skin and nails

  1. Drink plenty of water to maintain healthy hydration
  2. Eat a variety of good quality, protein rich foods
  3. Include lots of fresh fruits & vegetables in your diet
  4. Enjoy moderate exercise to get your circulation going
