If you are like many women, you probably have a collection of partially used beauty products that made big promises when you bought them, but failed to deliver the desired results. The truth is, products applied to already formed cells can only do so much to repair damage and improve appearance. To have truly healthy hair, skin and nails. you have to start from within, where new cells are being formed.
How New Skin, Hair and Nail Cells Are Formed
While you may think that skin, hair and nail cells are quite different from one another, they actually share a common foundation: Keratinocytes. Keratinocytes produce keratin, a key protein that is a common component of skin, hair and nails. When you look at your skin, hair and nails, you are only seeing dead keratin cells; living keratin cells are formed from within your body, and gradually make their way to the surface.
- Skin is made up of two layers, the dermis and the epidermis. The dermis lies beneath the epidermis and contains blood vessels and nerve endings. The epidermis is the layer you can see, where skin cell regeneration and keratin production take place. Dead keratin cells are pushed to the surface by newly formed keratin cells underneath, forming a waterproof barrier that keeps out toxins and pathogens. Skin conditions like acne or dryness may be a sign of a deficiency in the keratin production process.
- Hair is formed at the follicle, a sheath of connective tissue surrounding the root of a single strand of hair. The hair shaft itself is made of dead keratin cells, and new cells are continually being produced, causing hair growth. Dandruff, brittle or oily hair, and other hair conditions may indicate a deficiency at the follicle level.
- Nails grow from the base, beneath the cuticle. Like skin and hair, the part of the nail you see is made up of dead keratin cells. Weak and brittle nails can only be repaired from beneath the cuticle, where new cells are formed.
How to Grow Healthier Skin, Hair and Nail Cells
If your efforts to grow healthier skin, hair and nails are not producing the desired results, you may have nutritional deficiencies. The cells throughout your body rely on certain micronutrients like vitamins, minerals and proteins to grow and function properly. Nails can take from four to six months to grow out from the base, and hair can take years to grow, depending on your preferred length, so adhering to a good nutrition plan is a long-term prospect.
Regularly providing your body with the micronutrients it needs to form and repair cells is fundamental to achieving the healthy skin, hair and nails you desire. One way to ensure you are getting all the nutrients you need for optimal beauty is IV micronutrient therapy.
A Natural Beauty micronutrient IV cocktail contains all the nutrients you need to support healthy cell formation. Regular therapy sessions throughout the year can help you achieve and maintain the beautiful hair, skin and nails you always dreamed of.
