Beauty: How to get stronger nails, longer hair and better skin


No the title of this post is not a joke. There are some simple things you can do to get stronger nails, longer hair and better skin. The best part? They are all natural and don’t involve any harsh chemicals.

I've been taking fish oil for years and have seen a dramatic improvement in my hair, skin and nails. My hair is a lot stronger, shinier and grows quicker. My skin seems clearer and brighter and my nails have gotten stronger from taking it. You can take it in liquid or pill form and I've done both but currently are using the pills. It's a little easier and you don't have to taste it. I store the pills in my fridge to help them keep longer and take at least two pills a day (three in the winter). It’s an easy addition to my vitamin and supplement routine and it’s made a big difference for me.

Although it’s helped to improve my nails, they were still on the thinner side so I started adding flaxseed to my oatmeal and other dishes and wow - I've seen such a dramatic difference. They are strong, grow so quick and hardly ever break. I've never had the greatest nails and finally I'm so happy with them. I buy ground flaxseed at the grocery store and sneak it into several dishes of mine to make sure I get a little bit each day. You can’t taste it and it has so many benefits.

Another beauty secret of mine for my skin is vitamin E oil. I buy it in liquid form and use it as my facial moisturizer. I have combination skin and it works great on my dry areas of my face but doesn’t make the normal part too oily. I use it both in the morning before putting on my makeup and at night before bed. I have suffered with dry skin for as long as I can remember and have tried more moisturizers than I can count. This is the only thing that I have found that works for me.

Another crazy natural remedy is coconut oil. I know – I’m sure you think I’m nuts by now but I love this stuff. Not only is it good for you to eat, but it’s great for your skin and hair. I use this at night to take off my eye makeup and as an extra moisturizer if my skin is severely dry. I use this in my hair as a deep conditioning treatment and it has done wonders for my split ends. I could go on for hours about how good this stuff is for you to eat as well but that deserves its own post.

Have you tried any of the above? Are there other natural beauty remedies that you’ve tried that work great?
