甲状腺美容秘诀
When you have a thyroid condition, your top priority is to optimize your treatment to feel well. At the same time, we all want to look great too! The challenge, however, is that your thyroid problem can cause beauty concerns including dry skin, hair loss, puffiness, and problematic nails. Here are some thyroid beauty tips, including some of my overall go-to recommendations, personal favorites, and approaches for specific hair, skin, and nail challenges.
就拿头发,皮肤和指甲很大的维生素
My first overall recommendation is to take a vitamin for hair, skin, and nails. Some key nutrients to look for include biotin, iron, and Vitamin A. (Remember to take vitamins that contain iron at least four hours apart from your thyroid drugs.)
有像样的药店品牌,包括大自然的恩赐头发皮肤和指甲和BIOSIL。我最喜欢的是皮肤科皮肤健康的头发和指甲从Cooper Complete。I had a noticeable improvement in nails, skin, and hair in two months!
试试胶原蛋白多肽
My second overall recommendation is to try collagen peptides — amino acids similar to proteins found in your skin, nails, and hair. They help with skin elasticity, as well as hair and nail strength. There are many brands; most are in powder form that dissolves in liquids. My favorite isHealth Direct USA’s All-Around Beauty AminoSculpt Liquid Collagen Peptides。(I get the sugar-free mango flavor.) Just one daily dose helps keep my hair, skin, and nails strong.
Fish oil fights dryness
我的第三个一般的建议是补充鱼油。必需脂肪酸丰富,鱼油是抗发炎和皮肤干燥/粗糙的头发,眼睛干涩很有帮助。
需要注意的是劣质鱼油可与汞等毒素污染,所以最好选择一个品牌的审核,以确保纯度。我最喜欢的是卡尔森实验室鱼油,北欧土黄终极欧米茄和Barlean的欧米茄漩涡。(一个额外的好处:这些品牌不会造成“鱼嗝!”)
保持水分
我的第四个一般的建议是保持良好的水分。关于饮用水的水,每天八杯水的格言实际上是甲状腺患者智能美人尖为好。水化有助于打击皮肤干燥,浮肿,并具有解毒作用,这不仅对你的皮肤,但是你的整体健康有益的帮助。
如果普通的水是不是你的速度,尝试添加水果片,以你的水,或者喝碳酸seltzers或草药茶,以保持它很有趣。
皮肤刷牙
我最后的一般建议是将皮刷洗 - 又称干刷 - 到您的美容养生。皮肤刷牙是一个简单的技术,帮助改善肌肤的紧致和弹性。所有你需要的是一个皮肤刷,你的浴缸或淋浴干刷前几分钟。

Dry skin tips
如果你是干性皮肤,你的保湿应该是免费的化学香料,染料,对羟基苯甲酸酯,和化学品。一个产品我爱小蜜蜂敏感日常滋润霜。倾城杂志还拥有的一个有用的列表best moisturizers under $20。
另外,不要干出你的脸洗的时候。使用霜,油或无皂洗面奶可以提供帮助。一个喊出来给我最喜爱的产品,DHC深层卸妆油, which includes pure olive oil.
对于老茧的脚解决方案
坚固,难以去除的老茧是我作战,使得凉鞋赛季挑战的问题!使用愈伤组织文件或浮石勉强让一个凹痕我。我有更好的结果与PedEgg更妙的是(像一个小奶酪刨丝器的老茧。):经常使用电池供电的愈伤组织辊,用我最喜欢的护脚霜,肥皂和荣耀的沿Heel Genius。
注意:如果你不娇气,使用Baby Foot Peel。在应用干性皮肤剥离,层离成片的一个星期!
如何保持从断裂的指甲
The combination of collagen peptides and a great hair/skin/nail vitamin do more for my nails than any external products. There’s also evidence that regularly eating纯,未调味明胶能帮助加强你的指甲。保护你的指甲,但是,也是一种方式,以帮助保持他们坚强而漫长。我的一些最喜欢的产品:OPI Nail Envy,OPI Natural Nail Strengthener,Nailtiquesline of strengtheners,莎莉韩森硬钉子, andSally Hansen Diamond Strength。
Dealing with dry eyes
Dry eyes feel scratchy and sore, and puffy, red, tired-looking eyes are not a beauty asset. In addition to staying hydrated and taking a fish oil supplement, I recommend two products. For overnight use, I likeGenteal凝胶。(I use it at night before I go to sleep because the gel can make your vision a bit blurry.) During the day, I love比昂泪。每个应用程序都有small single-use plastic dropper, to avoid contamination.
Reduce eye puffiness
Puffiness around the eyes is an issue for many people with hypothyroidism. Some quick fix solutions include cold compresses, a frozen gel eye mask, or chilled used chamomile tea bags applied to your eyes. My personal favorite: put a few spoons in the freezer and apply cold spoons around the eyes to reduce puffiness. Some thyroid patients swear by the priceyTalika Eye therapy patches。I’ve also had some good results with lymphatic face massage for the eye area. Here’s a乐于助人的YouTube视频展示如何。
Reducing hair loss, dryness, and breakage
If you are struggling with脱发, make sure your thyroid is optimized, and test and treat low ferritin levels. You can also use prescription or over-the-counter minoxidil (Rogaine) to keep hair on your hand. To protect and strengthen hair, I love theMonat Replenish line of products,还有ZenagenRevolve system of haircare products for hair loss.
For a comprehensive look at thyroid-related hair loss, you may want to read my book, “Hair Loss Master Plan。”
Help for thinning eyebrows
Hypothyroidism can cause thin, patchy eyebrows. (Add in years of overplucking, and you have a beauty disaster!) For sparse brows, consider Minoxidil (Rogaine), which is available in prescription and over-the-counter strengths.
我最喜欢的产品是RapidLash,可在药物和美容用品商店,以帮助越来越厚的眉毛和睫毛。另一个去到产品:Benefit Gimme Brow + Volumizing Eyebrow Gel。You brush it on like mascara, and voila — eyebrows!
