Customers often ask us about hair, scalp, and skin problems. Unfortunately, there are no miracle products for this, despite how it is often portrayed in advertising.
To achieve more vibrant hair and skin, you need to improve your well-being on several levels, both from the inside and the outside.
In this article, we offer tips on what you can do if you want to strengthen the quality of your hair and skin.
Nutrition for Hair and Skin
1. Water is important
Keep your fluid balance at its best. Drink clean water every day, preferably with a little lemon/lime and sometimes ginger.
Enjoy beneficial herbal teas and choose organic coffee. For every cup of coffee, you need a glass of water to avoid dehydration.
2. Good fats
Eat good fats like avocado, seeds, and organic oils; e.g., olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, black cumin oil, etc.
3. The stomach
Take care of your stomach; according to many naturopaths, the skin and hair reflect the health of the intestines and liver. It starts from within.
4. Diet
Eat a diet rich in nutritious foods that give your body natural strength.
Vegetables, fruits, berries, and sprouts in their natural form contain the highest amounts of enzymes, fibers, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Eat plenty of vegetables in all forms!
5. Supplements
Take supplements such as Omega-3, Probiotics, Multivitamins, or other vitamins/minerals. For example, B vitamins are very good for hair, vitamin C and zinc for the skin, and also MSM.
*MSM: Many people have a sulfur deficiency – especially with increasing age. Therefore, it is important to eat foods rich in sulfur such as broccoli, kale, spirulina, Brussels sprouts, watercress, pumpkin seeds, and arugula.
It can also be wise to supplement with Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which contains sulfur and can increase flexibility, tone, and strength in muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes, and especially skin, hair, and nails.
Studies have shown that MSM can help with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, flaky skin, and dandruff.
6. Pure body care
Completely natural and pure body products are essential.
Natural body care contains nourishing ingredients that moisturize, such as organic oils and butters as well as herbs.
Avoid synthetic additives that clog the skin and dry out the hair.
7. Eco-friendly cleaning
Buy natural cleaning products and detergents. This is just as important as body care for your health, since everything we bring into our home is absorbed through the skin and breathing.
Improve Hair and Skin with a Healthy Lifestyle
8. Movement and Sweating
Exercise and sweating are essential for circulation and detoxification through the skin. Move daily and, if possible, use a sauna a couple of times a week.
9. Dry brushing
Dry brush your skin as often as you can; it stimulates circulation and helps the skin cleanse itself. The skin also becomes smoother and more beautiful.
10. Manage stress
Use a method to manage and reduce stress, such as meditation and relaxation through music, yoga, and stillness. Stress affects our well-being on all levels, including skin and hair.
11. Sleep
Sleep 7-8 hours; if you have trouble sleeping, make sure to get help. It is important to sleep deeply in a dark room for maximum recovery.
12. Fresh air
Make sure to get out into fresh air; if you live in the countryside, no problem. If you live in the city, go to a park or a forest as often as you can for a walk.
