Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that have beneficial effects on your body. Just as they can be beneficial to your gut health, they can also give you healthy hair, skin, and nails. Today’s beauty products are infusing their products with valuable probiotics and biotin (which acts much like a probiotic), and it can be found in hair serums, skincare and makeup, as well as nail treatments. There are also supplements are also specifically designed to improve your beauty wellbeing. Here are a few to try out. —Jennifer Cox

For Hair

For your luscious locks, try Sephora Collection’s Strengthening Hair Serum and Biotin and Phytoproteins ($24).

Its leave-in formula won’t leave a greasy film on hair.

Healthy Hair Probiotics from Love Wellness ($30) are probiotic pills that helps support healthy hair growth and visibly thicker, shinier hair. It also contains ingredients like AnaGain Nu, a clinically-tested protein that stimulates the hair growth cycle and reduces hair loss, and vitamins B12 and B6, which support the gut-scalp connection, giving you thicker-looking and shinier hair from within.
