Hair, Skin & Nail Supplements

Taking hair supplements and dedicated nutritional remedies is a great way to help make sure everything works as it should. They don’t necessarily promote growth, no, instead, they’re designed to give your follicles everything they need to function optimally.

Taking hair supplements and dedicated nutritional remedies is a great way to help make sure everything works as it should. They don’t necessarily promote growth, no, instead, they’re designed to give your follicles everything they need to function optimally.

Contrary to popular belief, your fingernails are not bone, they’re actually made up of the protein, Keratin.

Keratin is found across the body and is more hardwearing and stronger than other cells. It’s made through a combination of amino acids and other vitamins and minerals that support protein-building in your body.

So, to improve the condition of your nails and encourage growth, you can take supplements like Biotin, Iron, Vitamin C, Omega-3 Fatty acids and more.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body and goes through a lot of wear and tear. It need support to function as it needs to and to look good, so there are things you can do to help.

You can also try buying pollen filters for your car, keeping your doors and windows closed, vacuuming regularly and even wearing wraparound sunglasses can help.

• Keep clean – dirt, grim and oil build-up can prevent your skin from breathing.
• Sleep well – sleep helps our bodies stay fresh and gives it the time to produce things like collagen.
• Drink Water – your skins elasticity is dependent on how hydrated you are.
• Moisturise – an instant hit of moisture can help prevent unnecessary dryness or excess oil.
• Take vitamins and supplements – Certain things like Vitamin C can help improve the look of your skin, but a healthy, balanced diet and daily vitamins can help too.

No. Once your hair leaves the follicle on your skin, the hair is dead. So, you can’t repair it or make it healthier after the fact. You can make it look better with moisture and protectants, but you should focus on supporting your follicle health for good looking hair.

If your nails are brittle, breaking, have ridges or have odd colours, it may be indicative of some other deficiency or illness. Your nails can change with your age or during things like pregnancy or after an injury, so don’t be too worried in those cases.

Look out for:

• Dark streaks – this could be an under-nail bleed or a skin condition.
• Redness around the nail – this could be a sign of infection.
• Dark, green colours – dirt, grim and oil build-up can prevent your skin from breathing.
• Pitted nails – this could be bacterial nail infection.
• Yellowing nails – this could be a result of smoking or dye from nail polish, or it could be a disease or infection.
• Grooves or ridges – this is common and is likely that you had a deficiency of something which prevent growth for a while but check with your doctor to be sure.
