Do Beauty Supplements Actually Work?

Even if your health care professional gave you the thumbs up, there are some things to consider before popping beauty supplements. Akridge says to think about your diet. If you have a well-balanced diet, supplements might not be necessary. If you're a stressed-out "burning-the-candle-at-both-ends" type of person who has no time to eat, he says you might want to consider supplements.

Above all, remember that beauty supplements are not magic pills. They're not going to make hair sprout five inches overnight nor are they going to make skin glow like highlighter. Hermoni says to think of beauty supplement as one piece of the health puzzle. The experts recommend reviewing your diet to see if there are foods or nutrients you're lacking. Eating more of those can lead to better skin, hair and nails.

And don't expect to see results right away. Hermoni says beauty supplements aren't like caffeine where we get a boost shortly after ingesting it. It can take days to weeks to see the full results of supplements.
