Hey, friend! I have been learning a bunch about the Integumentary system (aka our skin, hair, and nails) and I wanted to share some of what I've learn with you…

 

So often we look at our hair, skin, and nails and think they only need support from the surface, but that is definitely not the case! Now don’t get me wrong, taking care of those things topically matters. But what I want to challenge you with today is to focus on what’s happening on the inside and how it affects what you see happening on the outside.

 

Our body is a complex web of interworking systems. When your liver is abused, you might start to notice it in the color of your skin. When your gut isn’t working properly, you might start to notice things like psoriasis or eczema. When your hormones are imbalanced, you might start to see an increase in acne or hair loss. See how it all connects?

 

Well, don’t let that overwhelm you. Today I want to share a couple of things to help you start caring for your skin from the inside out!…

Looking at that list, I want to remind you that wellness is a journey. It requires baby steps to create major lifestyle changes over time. So don't try to tackle this list all in one go! Choose one or two things to focus on and start there!!!

Speaking of implementing quality supplements into your routine, let’s talk about one that is perfect for supporting the integumentary system - Sulfurzyme. It supports joint health, aids the immune system, and helps support normal metabolic function, circulation, and bone, hair, and skin health. It can even help support recovery time of joints after exercise. How cool is that?! It’s definitely one you are going to want to keep on hand!

 

Sulfurzyme is made with Ningxia wolfberry fruit powder, which is HIGH in antioxidants! It’s also made with MSM, a dietary sulfur that can encourage a healthy inflammatory response in the body. MSM is also a naturally-occurring antioxidant that supports collagen and keratin production, two proteins you need for healthy hair, skin, and nails. 

Life 9 is another great option for healthy hair, skin and nails! It is chocked full of 17 billion live cultures from nine beneficial bacteria strains, and if you take a look at the list of ingredients, you’ll notice that the majority of the probiotic strains come from the Lactobacillus genus. These are lactic-acid producing bacteria, and lactic-acid is necessary to maintain proper pH of the skin. So support your gut and you should notice a difference in your skin (and everywhere else really!)

If you are wanting to grow long hair & nails, try Inner Beauty Collage! The results I personally have seen have been amazing! Inner Beauty Collagen is type I marine collagen and contains a unique combination of amino acids that stimulate cells in the skin, leading to collagen synthesis. These constituents promote the healing of skin cells and stimulate the production of natural collagen, which helps maintain clear skin and improve nail and hair growth.
