I'm wondering if it's okay to take vitamin supplements for my skin that expired just three months ago in January 2020. Are they still safe to use, or should I be concerned about any potential risks? Would appreciate your advice on this!

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep taking 5mg biotin tablets forever for my hair, skin, and nails. I've been experiencing hair fall for about a year now and I'm also considering taking Follihair. Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using Follihair and biotin regularly for a long time?

Biotin 5mg tablets can be beneficial for improving hair, skin, and nail health when taken regularly. However, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. Follihair is a combination supplement that contains biotin along with other vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health. It can help in reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth. When taken as directed, biotin and Follihair are generally safe for long-term use. Side effects are rare, but some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

I've been using Faiza beauty cream, and while it initially made my skin look better and fairer, I've started having issues since I stopped using it. Now my skin is having a bad reaction with lots of pimples appearing in a really concerning way. I'm really stressed about it and wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this mess. Any advice on how to replace this cream or what steps I should take to get my skin back on track would be super helpful.

Faiza Beauty Cream can be quite harsh on the skin, especially when stopped abruptly. _Replacement Cream Options_ 1. _Neutrogena Hydrating Facial Moisturizer_: A gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer for daily use. 2. _Himalaya Herbals Moisturizing Cream_: A natural, nourishing cream for dry to normal skin. 3. _Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream_: A rich, non-greasy moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin. 4. _Lakm Moisturizer_: A gentle, nourishing moisturizer for daily use. _Before Switching_ 1. _Consult a dermatologist_: Get personalized advice on the best cream for your skin type. 2. _Patch test_: Apply a small amount of the new cream on a discreet area to check for any adverse reactions. _Additional Tips_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. 2. _Use sunscreen_: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. 3. _Maintain a skincare routine_: Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin regularly.
