SKIN & HAIR

Achieving radiant skin and lustrous hair goes beyond topical treatments; it begins with a well-balanced and nutrient-rich diet that supports your body from within. Incorporating specific foods can enhance your skin’s glow and promote strong, healthy hair. Opt for a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats to combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Staying hydrated is equally crucial.
