Fall is the season of change. But swapping your iced tea for a pumpkin spice latte and trading your bikini for booties aren’t the only things to switch up—your hair and skincare routines definitely need to be part of the seasonal change checklist.

Keeping strands, scalp, and skin healthy takes more than just slathering on additional serums. Besides the obvious topical care for tresses, undoing the damage from the summer’s sun and maintaining lush, lustrous locks through the equally drying cooler months starts from the inside out.

Taking daily, clinically researched supplements specifically formulated to boost the beauty of hair, skin, and nails will help ensure your strands and skin will be kept preserved and protected long after the holiday buzz wears off.

With the transition from the summer sun to fall, hair can become susceptible to additional damage, dryness, dullness, breakage, and, even worse, fall-out.

Why Fall Can Damage Hair

In the summer months, we tend to sweat more, naturally eliminating harmful toxins from the body. In the same respect, we drink more water, hydrating cells from within. People also tend to  eat more vitamin E-enriched nuts, avocados, and fish, keeping complexions plump and dewy.

Come fall, we often turn to comfort-inducing foods and sugar-laden treats. All these changes inadvertently have an impact on our overall health and looks. So, the trick is to stock your beauty arsenal with these go-to supplements and beat the beauty blues:

Vitamin C

This virtuous vitamin supports skin health in a myriad of ways. Not only does it possess anti-inflammatory prowess, it helps boost immune function and collagen production, resulting in visibly noticeable skin renewal and rejuvenation. That's a one-two punch in one prettifying pill.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

A recent welcome to the world of supercharged, superstar skincare ingredients, one would be remiss if they didn’t add this hero must-have to their skincare stock.

Naturally produced in the human body, HA is a compound found in the joints, eyes, and skin. Because of its innate ability to hydrate, it helps keep your complexion comfortably balanced.

Unfortunately, as we age, the body decreases its production of powerhouse HA, leaving skin feeling and looking lackluster and dehydrated and susceptible to wrinkling and crinkling. So, be a wrinkle warrior and opt for a daily supplement of HA to keep things pleasingly “plump.”  

Collagen Peptides

Collagen is the skin’s support system and is responsible for its youthful firmness, bounce, and line-free elasticity. Ingesting a proprietary blend of antioxidants, botanicals, and undenatured, type 2 collagen is a surefire way to keep beauty-based unpleasantries of the season at bay.

The best ways for the compound to get to the deepest layers of the skin so it can work its anti-aging magic are by tablet or powdered form.

Beauty Sleep

With the dreaded “fall back” time change, it comes as no surprise that many suffer from sleep issues, including apnea and deprivation. Not clocking enough Z’s has been shown to lead to obesity, early death, and sallow-looking skin.

Rest easy with a sleep supplement and get back your sleep—and your beauty. Try a blend of supplements rich in melatonin, lavender, magnesium, and valerian root to help regulate the body’s natural circadian cycle and get back on track.

Hair Help

Hair La Vie’s best-selling RX Blend Clinical Strength Hair Vitamins are a blend of natural antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients formulated specifically to imbue locks with nourishment, resilience, and vitality from the inside out.

By including US Plus Saw Palmetto, Cynatine HNS Keratin, and an optimized version of vitamin E called EvnolMax, hair is revitalized from within.

Each beauty-boosting bottle also includes premium-grade vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and B6, as well as folic acid to prevent hair loss. The biotin will help stimulate hair’s elasticity, while the addition of hydrolyzed collagen strengthens strands.

Krill Oil

Unless you’re consuming high amounts of omega-3s in fish, such as sardines, salmon, and mackerel, supplementing your diet with a daily capsule of krill oil will surely keep skin smooth, soft, and succulent all season long.

Honorable Mentions

Round out your fall beauty weaponry by stockpiling on supplements, such as zinc, vitamin D, vitamin A, magnesium, and COQ10 to keep strands soft and shiny, while keeping skin glowing and gorgeous.

Overall, the most important thing to remember is that your hair and skin have needs that often change with the seasons, just like your personal habits do. With that said, taking the right supplements is important all 12 months of the year.
