Customers often ask us about hair, scalp, and skin problems. Unfortunately, there are no miracle products for this, despite what is often portrayed in advertising. To achieve more vibrant hair and skin, you need to improve your well-being on multiple levels, both from within and externally. In this article, we provide tips on what you can do if you want to strengthen your hair and skin quality.
Nutrition for hair and skin
1. Water is important
Keep your fluid balance at its peak. Drink clean water every day, preferably with a little lemon/lime and sometimes ginger. Feel free to drink 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; for example, olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, black cumin oil, etc.
3. Digestive system
Take care of your digestive system. According to many naturopaths, the health of your skin and hair reflects the health of your intestines and liver. It starts from within.
4. Diet
Eat a diet rich in nutrient-dense foods that give your body natural strength. Vegetables, fruits, berries, and sprouts in their natural form contain the highest amounts of enzymes, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Eat plenty of vegetables in all forms!
5. Supplements
Take supplements like Omega-3, Probiotics, Multivitamins, or other vitamins/minerals. For example, B-vitamins are very good for hair, vitamin C and zinc for skin, and also MSM.
MSM: Many people are deficient in sulfur – especially with increasing age. Therefore, it's 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 provide increased flexibility, tone, and strength to muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes, and particularly skin, hair, and nails. Studies have shown that MSM can help with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, eczema, flaky skin, and dandruff.
6. Clean body care
Completely natural and clean 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 your body daily and if possible, take 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 softer and more beautiful.
10. Managing 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 problems with sleep, make sure to get help. It's important to sleep deeply in a dark room for maximum recovery.
12. Fresh air
Make sure to get out in the fresh air. If you live in the countryside, no problem, but if you live in the city, go to a park or forest as often as you can for a walk.
