Customers often ask us about hair, scalp, and skin problems. Unfortunately, there are no miracle products for these issues, despite what advertisements often claim. To achieve more vibrant hair and skin, you need to improve your wellbeing on multiple levels, both from the inside and outside. In this article, we provide 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
Keep your fluid balance at its best. Drink clean water every day, preferably with some lemon/lime and occasionally 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. Digestion
Take care of your stomach and digestive system. According to many natural health practitioners, skin and hair health reflects the health of your intestines and liver. It all 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 (like B vitamins, vitamin C) and possibly MSM* to enhance your results.
*MSM: Many people have a sulfur deficiency – 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 Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) which contains sulfur, and can provide increased flexibility, tone, and strength to muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes, and especially skin, hair, and nails. Studies have shown that MSM can help with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, flaking skin, and dandruff.
6. Natural body care
Completely natural and pure body care 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 laundry detergents. This is just as important as body care for your health, as everything we bring into our homes is absorbed through the skin and breathing.
Improve hair and skin with a healthy lifestyle
8. Exercise and sweating
Exercise and sweating are essential for circulation and detoxification through the skin. Exercise daily and if possible, take a sauna a couple of times a week.
9. Dry brush
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 wellbeing 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, if you live in the city; go to a park or forest as often as you can for a walk.
