Brittle nails and split ends are the pain of your life? You’re plausibly biotin insufficient. Think rajma, chana and dal. Legumes and beans are stuffed with Biotin, Iron, Zinc and Protein to give you longer, stronger, shinier hair and nails.

3. Red Bell Peppers

These super pretty veggies are superfoods for your skin, with off the chart antioxidant levels and Vitamin C levels.

Eat in a salad or dip into a bowl of hummus for a power packed beauty snack.
