Not sure if S&B or Health but I'll ask anyway...

So all of a sudden my hair is lank and thinner, my skin is a bit dry and i feel a bit yuk. I am 48 so it's probably age related, but I wondered about these supplements like Perfectil and similar - has anyone tried them or can recommend something else?

I'd see a dietician and see if you coils change your diet rather than take supplements. Do you eat fish and drink loads of water?

Ask your doctor for a thyroid blood test. It could be underactive.

Any unusual weight gains/losses?

thanks all, no everything else just seems to be toddling along the same. I have not too bad a diet and drink a lot of wine water. Just needing a bit of a boost really.

I would buy some timed release vitamin B supplements and also get a decent thickening shampoo.

Also, get checked out by the doctor, just to be on the safe side.

I found that my skin and hair went horrible, when I was eating too much crap and not enough good quality food.

I dunno about hair, I never notice my hair, but I've noticed that jetlag seems to give me slight eczema (sometimes). I assume it's something hormonal, basically. Leads to super dry flaking skin on my face especially.
