Every bride knows the beauty checklist: glowing skin, healthy-looking hair and nails that can survive everything from the ring exchange to the honeymoon.
But beautiful hair, skin and nails aren’t created by what you put on them alone. They are living tissues, and their appearance can be influenced by nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress and the nutrients available to your body.
Start with the building blocks
Biotin is probably the best-known beauty nutrient in this conversation. It contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, while also playing a role in normal energy metabolism.
But biotin isn’t the whole story.
Protein provides amino acids needed to build keratin, the structural protein found in hair and nails. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, while zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails. A varied diet also supplies a much wider range of micronutrients that support overall health – which, in turn, creates a better foundation for your beauty routine.
Your beauty routine can go beyond the vanity drawer
At The IV Bar, Biotin is available as an IV therapy option, while the Skin Radiance Drip is another treatment designed around nutritional support for skin health. Neither should replace good nutrition or appropriate skincare, but they can form part of a broader, personalised approach.
There are also plenty of options on the shelf to complement your routine. Depending on your needs, these include Be Bright Collagen Shots, CHK-CU Copper Peptide Face Cream, Phytoceutics Vitamin D3 + K2 Oral Spray and other targeted wellness products available online or in store.
The trick is not to start taking everything two weeks before your wedding and hope for a miracle.
Start early, eat well, look after your sleep, protect your skin from the sun, stay hydrated, and if you’re considering supplements or IV therapy, speak to a registered nurse about what actually makes sense for you.
The best bridal glow isn’t about piling on more products. It’s about giving your body the foundations it needs to look and feel its best.
