Nuts such as almonds are fantastic for dry skin, as are avocado pears and all types of seeds like sunflower and pumpkin. Kiwi fruit are packed full of skin boosting vitamins E and C.
Seaweed such as kelp and nori is traditionally used to boost hair growth as it has a high level of iron,vit B12 , iodine and silica. There are supplements that can be taken containing silica but try eating lots of onions, cucumbers,melons and bamboo shoots instead.
