Mischo Beauty Challenge Update: "A Healthy, Sexy & Beautiful 2011"

I'm happy to be back to my regular posting schedule (Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is over!) and so I'm presenting another option to you when it comes to choosing a "hair, skin & nails" supplement. I'm asked all the time which is the best, and it really depends on so many factors. I thought you should know about Solgar's 100% vegetarian friendly Skin, Nails & Hair supplement. On another note, many of you know that I'm a Red Cross blood donor and I want to encourage you to become one as well. Check out the "Top 10 Reasons To Give Blood" and send it on to a friend!

Mischo Beauty Pick: HIRSANA Golden Millet Oil Capsules

You all might remember the post where we shared our vitamin/supplement regimens- with the point being that "beauty begins within- diet matters and is always revealed in the health of your hair, skin and nails!". So now that we've gotten that out of the way- I'd like to introduce you to HIRSANA Golden Millet Oil Capsules.

The capsules are formulated with vitamins E, B6, thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, biotin and zinc- which all contribute to the health of your hair, skin and nails. They also contain millet oil (yes, another oil!), which contributes to hair, skin and nail rejuvenation. Of course, supplements aren't a substitute for a balanced diet- oh, and don't expect to see results overnight (may take at least 3 -6 months). I definitely think these are worth trying- you may learn more here.

And by the way, tell us about your favorite hair/skin/nail supplement!

What's your vitamin/supplement regimen?

As I mentioned in a post earlier today, I don't like to rely on supplements for all of my nutritional needs. But, my diet isn't perfect and I refuse to allow my hair, skin and nails to suffer because of it! I am constantly working to improve my diet, and I know I'll get there! But, in the meantime, I'm assisted with the regimen below:

- Multivitamin
- Flax Seed Oil
- Fish Oil
- Borage Oil
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B12
- Cod Liver Oil
- Veggie Greens
- Psyllium Husks

So my question for you today is: What's your vitamin/supplement regimen? What do you take and why?

Mischo Beauty: NeoCell & GNC Stores

I'd like to thank everyone who has joined my "A Healthy, Sexy & Beautiful 2010" challenge! I really enjoy reading your updates through Twitter, email and Facebook- so please keep them coming! Again, the goal is to motivate and encourage each other to take better care of ourselves- and so far, so good! And while we're on the subject of our health, I wanted to share with you a few new products by NeoCell that I've started taking- Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid, Collagen + C Pomegranate Liquid and Pomegranate From The Seed- all dietary supplements.

I won't make any health claims* about these products, because we all know that is entirely individual! What I will say is that I was attracted to these products because of the focus on hyaluronic acid (great for skin health), pomegranate (contains high levels of antioxidants) and collagen (benefits joints, tendons, bones, hair & skin). While I don't like to rely too heavily on supplements for my nutritional needs, I do think these are an option depending on your lifestyle.

Mischo Beauty Pick: Sibu Beauty

As you're all probably aware, because I've said it many times before, beauty starts from within! If you aren't following a healthy diet, it will eventually reveal itself in your hair, skin and nails! Well I was presented with an opportunity to review a regimen of Sibu Beauty products and I'm quite pleased and definitely wanted to share.

The regimen includes the Revitalize & Renew, Cleanse & Detox, Repair & Protect and Cellular Support. Now what makes these products both different and special, is that they are made with the seabuckthorn berry (contains powerful nutrients such as Omega 3, 6 and 9; and Omega-7 which is an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails)- which is the foundation for all Sibu products.

Now I must tell you all that I'm LOVING the Revitalize & Renew liquid supplement, which works internally to support and improve skin tone/texture, hair and nail growth, and energy levels. It tastes AMAZING and it definitely gives me a boost! I've only been taking it now for a few weeks and so far, so good.

I've also been taking the Cellular Support, which is a antioxidant and Omega-7 softgel supplement. It works to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells and I've been taking two softgels daily.

Now because the Repair & Protect doesn't contain a sunscreen, I've been testing it out at night. I have my fair share of sun damage due to many years of not protecting my skin and so I welcomed the opportunity to use this specifically at night, since it's loaded with Omega-7, and because I know that the majority of skin cell repair/renewal occurs while sleeping.

I decided to use the Cleanse & Detox at night, before applying the Repair & Protect, because after a day of long work hours, errands and working out; this would be the perfect detox cleanse my skin needed to both recover and prepare itself for the Repair & Protect. My skin definitely feels thoroughly cleansed after using it, and every couple of days or so I'll use it with my Clarisonic skincare brush for an even deeper cleansing.

All Sibu Beauty products are paraben-free and cruelty-free and contain no dairy, wheat, gluten, sodium, yeast or preservatives. The sea buckthorn used in the products is sourced through fair trade agreements with local harvesters in Tibet.
