Superb Ways To Strengthen Hair, Skin, And Nails

Go Fragrance-Free

Many individuals might not realize it, but artificial fragrances in skincare products, makeup, and perfume can be a significant detriment to the strength of your skin. Even someone without a severe allergy can still be reducing the strength and appearance of their skin! Look closely at the ingredients on the list of the products you use and see if there are items such as fragrance or perfume listed. Try switching out these products, one at a time, with fragrance-free alternatives. You can consult a dermatologist or beauty expert at your local drug store when in doubt about what to choose for your skin type. Watch your skin improve within a couple of weeks!

No More Smoking

Did you know smoking essentially starves the skin of oxygen? This results in dull, gray, and lifeless looking skin. It can also increase wrinkles and sagging skin, as smoking breaks down elastin and degrades collagen. Perhaps the most significant detriment, however, is that smoking dramatically increases an individual’s risk of skin cancer, which significantly impacts the appearance of skin and puts the individual’s life at risk in severe cases. Research has also theorized that smoking restricts oxygen to the hair in the same way it does to the skin, which accounts for smoking causing dull and lifeless locks. Furthermore, smoking causes yellow stains on the nails (same as teeth), and may also increase brittleness.

Nothing about smoking helps your hair, skin, and nails. But quitting smoking now can help increase oxygen to the hair and skin, and stop the progression of yellow stains on nails. Reduce the risk of skin cancer by quitting as well. Over-the-counter stop-smoking aids like patches and gum can increase the chances of successfully stop. Consult with your doctor to develop a detailed plan to help you improve your chances of quitting smoking successfully.
