As the winter season arrives, so do the dangers to our health – and this doesn’t just include illness, colds or a lowered immune system. Even if we’re sure we’re protected from all of this, we often forget other natural factors that can affect our appearance – how healthy our skin, hair and nails look. The cold temperatures, humidity, abrupt change of weather are the unpleasant part of the winter season that can affect not only our mental health but also our physical health. Here are the main challenges to looking beautiful this season.
Most often we face problems with hair. The main danger for it is low temperatures – the hair does not receive enough nutrients, because the blood circulation slows down, as a result of which it is less nourished. In addition, in heated rooms the air becomes too dry, and this further dries out the hair. Therefore, in the cold months it is extremely vulnerable.
…Like hair, the main problem of the skin in winter is dehydration.
The contrast between the climatic conditions outside and inside disturbs the balance of the skin’s surface layer, causing unpleasant drying and stretching in exposed areas. In some people it can even develop into peeling, cracking or inflammation.
The same problem affects the nails. Dermatologists say that the nail plate consists of 18% water. Cold days and the alternation of cold and warm lead to a decrease in this process, which is the reason for their more frequent breaking and splitting.
How then to maintain our healthy and pleasant appearance with so many factors that negatively affect. To the rescue comes the so-called Vitamin of Beauty – namely, biotin. Biotin was discovered in the late 1930s and since it is derived from the Greek word bios its name means “life”.
It helps to normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands and affects the fat content of the skin. Participates in the production of collagen, which slows aging and ensures the elasticity of the skin. The beautifying vitamin improves blood circulation, nourishes and hydrates the skin deeply, thus solving the main problem in winter.
When there is a deficiency of biotin, the skin is dry and pale, and the hair falls out and loses shine. In fact, the vitamin helps maintain the chemical structures in keratin, the main protein in hair. What’s more, biotin fights hair loss and helps hair grow faster, restores and hydrates. Thus, it also strengthens soft, brittle and delaminating nails.
In addition, biotin is important for the production of intercellular enzymes, for bone marrow, blood cells and nerve tissue. It helps the metabolism and better absorption of proteins. Fights stress and tension and relieves muscle pain after physical labor and sports.
All these properties make biotin indispensable for our vital appearance during the cold months. That’s why SupraVit has taken care to include it in the SupraVit Multivitamins + Biotin vitamin and mineral complex. In addition to the Beauty Vitamin, it contains a combination of vitamins that contribute to normal metabolism and energy production, and contribute to the normal function of the immune system, so SupraVit offers everything you need for health inside and out.
…Fight the cold temperatures and the piercing winter wind with your head held high – with healthy and beautiful nails, skin and hair.
