Essential Nutrients: Your Beauty's Best Friends*
Vitamin C: More than Just an Immune Supporter*
This well-known vitamin is a powerhouse when it comes to supporting immune health.* But it also aids in collagen production, a protein that provides structure to your skin.* A diet rich in Vitamin C can help you maintain healthy skin.*2
Food sources of Vitamin C include citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, and kiwi and vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, and potatoes.3
Biotin: A Key Player in Keratin Production*
Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is often found in hair, skin, and nail supplements. It is essential in producing keratin, the primary protein that forms hair and nails.*4
Food sources of biotin include eggs, cheddar cheese, almonds, oatmeal, beef liver, sunflower seeds, and sweet potatoes.5
Vitamin E: A Supporter of Antioxidant Activities*
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin cells from free radicals.* It may support skin health by maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier.*6
Food sources of vitamin E include almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and peanut butter, mango, spinach, and broccoli.7

For Hair
Regular Trimming: Regularly trimming your hair helps to prevent split ends and keeps your hair looking healthy and neat.
Proper Washing: Do not over-wash your hair. The frequency depends on your hair type and personal preferences, but over-washing can lead to dryness.
Deep Conditioning: A deep conditioning treatment can help to nourish and strengthen your hair. It's typically recommended to deep condition your hair at least once a week.
Protection from Heat: Limit the use of heat styling tools as they can damage the hair. If you need to use them, use a heat protection spray.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Tight hairstyles can cause tension on your scalp.
For Skin
Cleansing: Wash your face at least morning and evening daily with a gentle, suitable cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil.
Moisturizing: Apply a moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated.
Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
Regular Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. However, avoid over-exfoliation as it can lead to skin irritation.
For Nails
Regular Trimming: Regularly trim your nails and keep them clean.
Moisturizing: Moisturize your nails and cuticles to help prevent them from becoming brittle and breaking.
Protective Gloves: Wear gloves when doing chores that involve water or chemicals to protect your nails.
Avoid Nail Biting: Nail biting can damage the nails.
Nail Hardeners: Use a nail hardener if your nails are weak or brittle, but only after consulting a dermatologist.
In conclusion, nourishing your body with the proper nutrients can play a significant role in maintaining and enhancing the health of your hair, skin, and nails.* Incorporate these nutrients into your diet through food or supplements like our Organic Hair, Skin & Nails* Vitamins, and start noticing the glow!*
