We’re always looking for a quick fix when it comes to our beauty routines, but some things can’t be resolved with a simple swipe of concealer or a trip to the salon. Enter vitamin supplements, which are proven to—as their name suggests—actually supplement our normal diets with nutrients we may otherwise be lacking. While you won’t see results mere seconds after swallowing a pill, you will likely start to notice effects as quickly as one month after regular use (depending on your deficiencies). Whether it’s glowing skin, luscious locks or stronger nails you’re coveting, here’s what you need to achieve beauty from the inside out.
Vitamins For Gorgeous Hair, Skin & Nails
Skin
If you're not partial to fish then you might not be getting the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Fish oil has endless benefits for the body, but as far as outer beauty is concerned, it can greatly benefit dehydrated and acne-prone skin, as well as prevent wrinkles caused by sun damage.
Hair
Does it seem like your hair isn't growing as fast as it used to despite the fact you haven't changed your routine? The issue may not be your products. A cocktail of vitamins known as the B complex is an easy way to encourage healthy hair growth.
Nails
Biotin is naturally found in high-protein foods like meat, dairy, nuts and certain vegetables such as carrots. If you notice your nails have become brittle, it may be time to incorporate a biotin supplement, packed with strengthening nutrients. (Bonus: It can make your hair stronger, too!)
