review with reports Take care

Hairfall over a period of 4-6 months can be distressing. First off, you might want to consider some potential causes, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to check if there are any deficiencies in iron, vitamin D, or B12 by consulting with a healthcare provider who can perform necessary blood tests. When it comes to managing hairfall, ensuring a balanced diet rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin can be quite helpful. Foods like eggs, nuts, spinach, fatty fish, and legumes might be worth integrating into your meals.

For the dark circles, which sometimes indicate lack of sleep or stress, make sure you’re getting enough rest—around 7-9 hours of sleep per night—can be essential. Staying hydrated and reducing salt intake might help too, because it decreases fluid retention that makes eyes puffy. Some people find topical caffeine solutions in creams to be effective in temporarily reducing dark circles because they constrict blood vessels. However, always do a patch test first with new products due to your sensitive skin.

Speaking of sensitive skin, look for gentle, fragrance-free products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides to help maintain hydration and repair skin barriers. Avoid products that contain alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or strong fragrances as they can be too harsh. Incorporating a suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily routine is non-negotiable to protect skin and prevent further damage.

For glowing skin, you might want to consume foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins, such as berries, citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, and carrots. Omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseeds, chia seeds, and oily fish can also keep your skin supple. On the lifestyle side, managing stress levels through methods like mindfulness or regular exercise could also support overall health and indirectly benefit your hair and skin. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking advice from a dermatologist or healthcare professional would be the best step forward.
