Everyone’s talking about intraceuticals but you don’t know where to begin, or even what they are? Before you get swept up in the latest Hollywood craze of consuming pre-natal supplements for healthy hair, nails and skin, there is a world of breakthrough products specifically designed to target your outside from the inside and enhance your natural beauty. Are you in?
by Anna McDougall
A little bit of science: It’s no secret that our skin, hair and nails are related in their anatomy and physiology, hello – dead cells! The outer layer of skin, the hair and nails are all keratinized structures. To keep these structures healthy and strong means generous intakes of nutrients such as protein, essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Thus, the intraceutical products emerge. But remember, use only as directed!
