Breakouts around chin and jawline
Frequent pimples around the chin and jawline area indicate hormonal imbalance in the body. A very common type of adult acne, it usually appears when you’re stressed or on your period.
Dark circles
Not getting enough sleep is surely one reason for dark circles. However, before you dab on that concealer here are few other things that might be responsible. Lack of hydration and nutrient deficiency can also cause dark circles.
Thinning hair
Hair thinning is a common problem faced by both men and women. However, protein deficiency in the body can cause hair loss and thinning. One serving of a high protein meal in your diet can change your hair game.
Flaky scalp
An extremely flaky and irritated scalp could be a sign of psoriasis. An inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis is usually associated with an internal condition of psoriatic arthritis or heart disease. So do not ignore this sign.
Brittle nails
Brittle nails are an indication of a lot of things. It could mean anything right from harsh nail product regimen to vitamin deficiency. If your nails break easily or look flaky don’t delay an appointment with your doctor.
Thin or spooning nails
Nails that scoop upwards are known as spooning nails. These indicate an iron deficiency in your system. Listen to your nails and include iron rich foods in your diet.
