How long do beauty supplements take to work?

We spoke to Naturopathic Nutrition Coach, Jessica Shand, who works closely with Potion London, to find out more.

"You need to consistently take health supplements for a minimum of three months in order for them to make a difference. I strongly believe that if you consciously ensure you are eating nourishing whole foods, you will see better results from the supplements you’re taking."

Do they work in conjunction with topical treatments?

"Supplements can be taken as part of a healthy and balanced diet and in conjunction with topical treatments, for example facials, to ensure you are not only nourishing your skin on the outside but also from within."

Why would you need to take a beauty supplement?

Jessica explains, "A beauty supplement, for example the Potion London beauty supplements, are created to help target beauty concerns including skin and hair issues and support your immune system, naturally boost energy levels and make your gut happy. Supplements should not be taken as a replacement to a fresh whole foods, they are to be taken in addition to a healthy and balanced diet. How you nourish your body with the food you eat should always be your first priority, but I do believe that good quality health supplements are necessary for some people to boost their health in the specific areas they want to improve."

Although we've seen lots of celebs promote the products above, the FDA does not regulate what these hair vitamin companies claim to do.

If you're not too keen on trying hair vitamins, then why not eat your way to healthier hair?

Expert Joanne Dodds at Hairtrade.com previously spoke to Closer and explained that eating healthier food can have an effect on your hair.

“Small changes to your diet could make a big difference to your hair and beauty regime and give you the look you’ve been wanting.

"Important vitamins and minerals can all be found in common foods that will make a big impact. In order to up your gloss game, make sure these root-boosting foods make their way on to your plate."
