These micronutrients strengthen skin, hair, and nails during the cold season

Cold, wind, and dry heated air especially challenge skin, hair, and nails. With a balanced diet, selected trace nutrients can support the normal function of these "beauty organs" from within – ideal as a supplement to consistent winter care.

Biotin: Support for Skin and Hair

Biotin (Vitamin B7) helps maintain normal skin and normal hair. Especially in winter, when hair is more stressed by hats and dry air, biotin is an important building block.

➡️ Sources: Eggs, nuts, oatmeal, legumes.

Zinc: For Skin, Hair, Nails, and Defenses

Zinc helps maintain normal skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, it supports the normal function of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative strain – an advantage in the cold season.

➡️ Sources: Meat, cheese, nuts, seeds, legumes.

Selenium: For Hair and Nails

Selenium helps maintain normal hair and normal nails and supports the protection of cells from oxidative strain.

➡️ Sources: Brazil nuts, fish, eggs.

Vitamin C: Collagen Formation for Normal Skin

Vitamin C helps with normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. It also supports cell protection from oxidative strain and the normal function of the immune system.

➡️ Sources: Citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli, berries.

Vitamin A: For Normal Skin Function

Vitamin A helps maintain normal skin – useful when the skin appears drier and rougher in winter.

➡️ Sources: Dairy products, egg yolk; beta-carotene e.g. in carrots and kale.

Vitamin D: The Winter Factor

Vitamin D helps the normal function of the immune system and plays a role in cell division. Since the body's own production is often reduced in autumn and winter, it is especially in focus seasonally.

➡️ Sources: Fatty fish, eggs; mainly formed through sunlight.

Extra Tip: Omega-3 as a Useful Supplement

Omega-3 fatty acids are not trace nutrients but are often valued as a supplement in the winter routine – especially for dry skin.

➡️ Sources: Salmon, mackerel, walnuts, flaxseed, chia seeds.

Conclusion

For a strong winter routine from within, biotin, zinc, selenium, as well as vitamins C, A, and D are especially important. Combined with nutrient-rich food and suitable care, you create the best conditions for skin, hair, and nails to look cared for and healthy even in the cold season.
