Want to take off your makeup for a few days and enjoy the natural light or cook dinner without damaging your nails? Collagen and biotin (also known as vitamin B7) can help with this. However, the body does not naturally produce biotin, and you may not get enough of it through your diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The same goes for collagen: since it's mostly a protein found in animal products, if you're on a vegan diet and not getting collagen-boosting nutrients like vitamin C and zinc, you may need supplements.
Most of us use skin care formulas to look and feel good all over our bodies, but supplements are another way to improve hair and skin health without breaking a sweat. Whether you choose to take birth control pills with water or mix powder or cream with coffee every day, there are plenty of options. And no matter which formula you choose, there's one for all your beauty concerns, from brittle nails to brittle hair and beyond.
Are you ready to try it yourself? Here are the best beauty supplements to nourish your beauty from within. And don't forget that nutritional supplements are largely unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration and may or may not work for you. Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement.
