•                        Skin, Hair, and Nails



  • Keratinocytes (ker-uh-TIH-no-sites) make keratin, a type of protein that's a basic component of hair, skin, and nails. Keratin in the skin's outer layer helps create a protective barrier.
  • Vitamins, minerals, and collagen supplements will typically start giving you results after four to six months of daily use. Hair and nails grow out from a matrix, which for our hair turns into our hair follicle; for our nails, it is the nail bed or nail plate. Audrey Sivasothy says, “Cells grow out from the matrix, and older cells eventually are pushed out by newer cells growing in.
  • Over time, for instance, insufficient intake of vitamins A and E can cause rough, scaly skin patches. A deficiency of biotin may cause eczema and hair loss. But for those with no clear deficiencies, experts say there's no good evidence that supplements can make a difference.
  •                                                Skin:
  • The skin is the body's largest organ. It covers the entire body. It serves as a protective shield against heat, light, injury, and infection. The skin also: Regulates body temperature.No matter how you think of it, your skin is very important. It covers and protects everything inside your body. Without skin, people's muscles, bones, and organs would be hanging out all over the place. Skin holds everything together.


  • The skin has three main functions:
    • Protection;
    • Thermoregulation;
    • Sensation.
    Following are the most essential products for skin:
    • 1. Cleanser.
    • 2. Moisturizer.
    • 3. Sunscreen.
    • 4. Repair or anti-aging products (vitamin-A cousins (like Renova and Retinol), vitamin-C serums (not creams), a few other antioxidants, and cell growth factors).


    •                                    Hair:

    • Haircare is important not only for our appearance but also for our overall hygiene. Having healthy hair allows us to look our best and ensure our hair and scalp are healthy. The look of hair is important to many and has a significant impact on our self-esteem.



    • Functions of Hair:
      • Protection.
      • Heat Retention.
      • Facial Expression.
      • Sensory Reception.
      • Visual Identification.
      • Chemical Signal Dispersal.

  • 7 Essential Hair Products To Style Your Hair At Home
    • Hair Serums. A good serum protects the hair from heat damage, dust particles, humidity, pollution, and dryness.
    • Dry Shampoo. 
    • Hair Colour. 
    • Hair Mask. 
    • Hair Cream. 
    • Hair Wax. 
    • Hair Gel. 

                                                   

                                          Nails:

  • Your nails are there to protect your hands, providing a strong shield as you work with them each day, as well as a barrier – the cuticle – which keeps out environmental pollutants. Regular, professional nail care ensures that your nails stay strong so they can do the job.
  • The reason we have fingernails and toenails is not to pick our noses or to scratch our siblings. The short answer is we have evolved to have nails because they help us pick things up (like food), pick things off (like bugs), and hold tightly onto things.




Things You Should Absolutely Never Do To Your Nails:
  • Bite Them. To state the obvious, biting your nails is a very bad habit we're all aware of. 
  • Use Old Polish.
  • Cut Cuticles.
  • File Them Back And Forth.
  • Peel-Off Polish.

Nails grow out of deep folds in the skin of the fingers and toes. As epidermal cells below the nail root move up to the surface of the skin, they increase in number. Those closest to the nail root get flat and pressed tightly together. Each cell becomes a thin plate; these plates pile into layers to form the nail.


The specific nutrients in hair, skin and nail supplements include antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E, or Coenzyme Q10, and also biotin, a B-complex vitamin. ... But for those with no clear deficiencies, experts say there's no good evidence that supplements can make a difference.

                                           "Health is  wealth" "The famous proverb ‘Health is Wealth’ means health is the most significant wealth, not money" Health is a great blessing of Allah Almighty and is very precious. It is the ability of the human body to meet demands imposed by the environment and daily life. It is an old saying that Health is Wealth. But actually, health is preferable to wealth.
