Enhance your health, wellness, and lifestyle with the ProPatch+ and their variety of health and wellness patches. What is ProPatch+? ProPatch+ is a revolutionary approach to nutrient delivery that utilizes topical supplement patches instead of traditional pills or capsules. These patches are designed to be small and easy to apply, similar to a band-aid. By wearing these patches on your skin, you can get the benefits of vitamins and supplements without having to swallow pills. ProPatch+ offers a professional line of topical supplement patches, each designed to address specific health needs. How do they work? One of the key advantages of ProPatch+ is its medical-grade patch technology. These patches deliver nutrients directly through the skin and into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract. This direct delivery method offers better absorption compared to traditional pills, where many nutrients can be lost during digestion. The patches utilize time-release technology, allowing the nutrients to be gradually absorbed over the course of 8 hours into the skin. The patches are made from all-natural materials and are latex-free, ensuring that those with sensitive skin can use them as well. ProPatch+ does not contain fillers or binders and is formulated by physicians to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the ingredients. The Patches: Sculpt Patch: This patch provides support for body shaping and is aimed at helping individuals achieve their fitness and weight management goals. The Sculpt Patch utilizes advanced technology to target specific areas of the body and promote fat burning, muscle toning, and overall body sculpting. It works by delivering a combination of active ingredients through the skin, which can help boost metabolism, reduce cravings, and improve energy levels. The Sculpt patch is designed to be worn discreetly and can be easily integrated into a daily routine. Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, the Sculpt Patch can be a valuable tool for individuals looking to shape their bodies and reach their desired fitness and weight management objectives. RenewPatch: The RenewPatch is a revolutionary skincare product formulated to promote remarkable anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology and advanced scientific research, this patch is designed to nourish and revitalize your skin and hair. At its core, the RenewPatch is infused with a potent blend of collagen and essential nutrients. Collagen, a vital protein found naturally in our bodies, plays a crucial role in maintaining the strength, elasticity, and overall health of our skin and hair. However, as we age, our production of collagen gradually decreases, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of vitality. The RenewPatch bridges this gap by delivering a concentrated dose of collagen directly into your bloodstream. This replenishment of collagen helps to restore the youthful firmness, smoothness, and radiance of your complexion while also strengthening your hair strands from within. In addition to collagen, the RenewPatch is enriched with a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients. These nutrients, carefully selected for their rejuvenating properties, work synergistically to nourish and support the natural renewal processes of your skin and hair. They provide the building blocks necessary for healthy cell regeneration, helping to diminish the signs of aging and promote a more vibrant, youthful appearance. VitriPatch: The VitriPatch is a powerful multivitamin patch that contains vital nutrients for overall health and wellness. It offers a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, and other essential compounds to support your body's optimal functioning. By delivering these nutrients directly through the skin and into your bloodstream via the patch, the VitriPatch ensures efficient absorption and utilization, bypassing the digestive system. Each patch is carefully formulated to provide a balanced combination of vitamins, including vitamin A, B-complex vitamins (such as B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. These vitamins play crucial roles in various bodily processes, such as energy production, immune function, bone health, and antioxidant protection. In addition to vitamins, the VitriPatch also contains essential minerals like iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and selenium. These minerals are involved in maintaining healthy bones, supporting muscle function, aiding in metabolism, and promoting overall well-being. Living your healthiest life is the best decision you can make for your body. ProPatch+ is designed to complement your health and wellness efforts and is the future of vitamin and nutrient delivery. Unlock your body's full potential and experience the benefits of optimal nutrition in the most convenient and effective way possible. Start living your healthiest life today with ProPatch+.

Summer has arrived, bringing along the scorching heat! Most of us avoid layering product after product on our skin because, let’s be honest, we end up sweating it off and that's not a cute look! So, although we completely understand why makeup with SPF may seem like a no-brainer, it should not be used as a replacement for your daily SPF . It's important to understand that relying only on the SPF in your makeup is not enough protection against harmful UV rays. SPF, which stands for Sun Protection Factor, is a measure of how well a sunscreen or other skincare product protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Makeup products that contain SPF are formulated to provide some level of sun protection, primarily against the sun's UVB rays. UVB rays are responsible for causing sunburns and can contribute to skin damage and skin cancer. While makeup products with SPF can protect, it's important to note that they should not be relied upon as the sole source of sun protection. The amount of makeup you typically apply may not be enough to provide the stated level of SPF protection, and it can easily be rubbed off or sweat off during the day. Here are a few reasons why SPF in makeup may not be enough: Insufficient Coverage: Most people do not apply a thick or even layer of makeup, which means they may not be getting the full SPF protection as indicated on the product. To achieve that level of protection, you would need to apply a generous amount of makeup, which is unlikely for most of us. No cake face here, am I right? Incomplete Spectrum Coverage: SPF primarily measures protection against UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburns. However, there are also UVA rays that penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to long-term skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancer. Many makeup products with SPF do not provide enough protection against UVA rays, as SPF only measures UVB protection. Look for broad-spectrum sunscreens that protect against both UVA and UVB rays, or call your girls at Beauty Care Choices! Inadequate Reapplication: Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, or more frequently if you are sweating or hanging out on the beach. Since makeup is not typically reapplied throughout the day, because let's be honest who has time for that, your quick application of SPF in the morning may not provide enough protection throughout the day. Inconsistent Usage: You don't always feel like wearing a full face of makeup. Makeup is not worn by everyone every day or in all weather conditions, so relying completely on SPF in makeup would leave your skin unprotected on days when you don't wear makeup. If you're looking for sun protection, it's generally recommended to use a dedicated sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher . Apply it generously to all exposed skin, including the face, before applying makeup. Then, you can use makeup products with SPF as an additional layer of protection. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours or more if you're sweating or swimming! Now, before you get upset because you think we ruined your sizzling hot summer, we have a solution! Beauty Care Choices has a wide variety of broad-spectrum SPFs that will help keep your skin looking youthful and well-protected while your out catching a few rays! Protecting your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays not only is good for the health of your skin but will also help prevent premature aging on your skin. Call the experts at Beauty Care Choices to learn about all your options for SPF this summer!

Where’s my hairspray, you ask? We have recently experienced many long-term backorders on some of your favorite styling products, but why? New VOC regulations have been imposed on manufacturers in the Beauty Cosmetics industry. As a result, finishing sprays, shine sprays, dry shampoos, and other styling sprays are being reformulated and are missing from our shelves. Reformulating and maintaining performance are a big challenge that all manufacturers are struggling to achieve. What are VOC's? VOCs are volatile organic compounds with high vapor pressure typically found in almost all your aerosol products. VOCs are ingredients like alcohol and certain other types of propellants. When exposed to the sun, alcohol breaks down and becomes acetaldehyde, an extremely harmful substance to our ozone layer. Breathing in VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat and, over time, has been shown to cause certain types of blood cancers, such as leukemia. They can also cause you to feel terrible by giving you headaches and nausea and damaging your liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. How will this affect you personally? Depending on the product and the changes necessary for them to comply with the new regulations, you may notice a change in your product. Some people report their hairspray doesn't dry as quickly or feels more "wet". Some with a keen sense of smell report different scents with their hairsprays or that the scent dissipates more quickly. You may have to find a temporary hairspray while yours is in the long line of reformulations waiting to be manufactured. Product Formulation: VOC regulations may require beauty companies to reformulate their products to meet the specified emission standards. This could lead to changes in the ingredients used and the overall composition of certain beauty products. Product Availability: If certain beauty products contain high levels of VOCs and fail to comply with the regulations, they may be restricted or banned from the market. This could mean that your favorite hairspray will no longer be made or could be out for an extended period of time to reformulate. Plus, with so many products being reformulated at once, manufacturing plants are backed up, leaving smaller brands at the bottom of lists to receive their propellants. Pricing: Reformulating products to meet VOC regulations could potentially increase manufacturing costs for beauty companies. These increased costs might be passed on to consumers through higher product MSRP (Manufacture Suggested Retail Pricing). We understand how frustrating changes are to your favorite products. When you find the right product, it is hard to find a new one that compares, and that is frustrating. This is why we wanted to take the time to explain the changes. Beauty Care Choices is here to keep you as informed as possible on delays and help you find alternatives if necessary. Our licensed cosmetologists are here to assist you throughout this transition period. We appreciate your patience while we gather pertinent information to keep you up to date.

Let’s clear up one common misconception from the get-go, self-care is not self-indulgence or being selfish. We all know life can get hectic and wild and sometimes, we forget to take the time to take care of ourselves. Beauty Care Choices believes Self-Care can be one of the most important things that you do for yourself. Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. It can also help you cope with daily stressors that can lead to you feeling lonelier and less able to unwind and slow down, leading to you feeling more anxious and overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks. Five Benefits of Self-Care Self-care can improve your physical health. Self-care can reduce stress and anxiety. Self-care can boost your self-esteem. Self-care protects your mental health. Self-care can lead to better relationships. What are some of the best products to begin your self-care routine you might ask? Don't worry, Beauty Care Choices has a wide variety of different items that can help you get started. One of our all-time favorite self-care products is body scrubs. Body scrubs help to exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells that tend to make your skin look dull or dry. Scrubs are easy to use in your shower or bath and can really make a difference in your skin! Additionally, body scrubs can improve circulation, promote smoother and softer skin, and enhance the absorption of moisturizers. They often contain nourishing ingredients like oils and vitamins that can hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Regular use of body scrubs can leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and with a radiant glow. A few of our personal favorite body scrubs are the Bonblissity Body Polish Moisturizing Exfoliant which is available in six different delicious scents and both the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Smoothing Exfoliating Cream and the Yon-Ka Aroma Fusion Gommage Doux Hydrating Exfoliating Cream for a more luxurious shower experience. Another great self-care product is bath soaks. I don't know about you, but soaking in a tub really helps me to relax and unwind after a long and stressful day. Bath soaks can be a rejuvenating and enjoyable self-care practice. The warm water and ingredients in bath soaks can help soothe sore muscles, reduce tension, and promote a sense of calm. The Cuccio Naturale Milk Bath is just what you need to relax and unwind after a hard day. This bath soak is designed to hydrate and soothe the skin, revealing flawless and touchable soft skin. After your scrubbing and soaking, it's important to remoisturize your skin. Using lotion or skin oil right out of the bath or shower really helps your skin to absorb the nutrients and moisturizing agents in your lotions and skin oils. In addition to moisturizing immediately after bathing, it's also beneficial to apply a lotion or oil throughout the day as needed, especially if you spend a lot of time in dry environments or are exposed to harsh weather conditions. By incorporating these steps into your self-care routine, you can help ensure that your skin remains youthful, protected, and smooth, promoting a healthy and radiant appearance. A few of our top-notch lotions and oils are: Earthly Body Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion , is available in 12 delicious scents. Verb Body Lotion , your fragrance-free option for those with sensitivities. Enjoy Skinjoy Hand & Body Lotion , a great clean beauty option. Earthly Body Hemp Seed Moisturizing Oil Spray , available in 9 scrumptious scents to match your Hemp Seed Hand & Body Lotion. Cuccio Naturale Dry Body Oil , available in two different scents and features a dry oil formula that won't leave your skin greasy. Bonblissity Nourishing Body Oil , available in two relaxing and refreshing scents and is packed with antioxidants, omega-rich oils, hempseed oil, olive-derived squalene, and rosehip oil to promote healthy and vibrant skin. Now that we have your body all taken care of, let's talk about those feet and hands. Proper hand and foot care can prevent serious health problems. Dry, cracked skin on your hands and feet can lead to infection. Your hands and feet are probably the most used and abused parts of your body, so it is extra important to keep them healthy and happy. Great ways to take care of your hands and feet are at-home pedicures, scrubs, lotions, and masks. For your feet, Beauty Care Choices has the best options for you. Some of our personal favorites for foot care are the Qtica SmartPods . These are available in 8 different scents and include everything you need for your pedicure at home! Another great option to smooth your feet is the Baby Foot Exfoliation Foot Peel . This will just let the dead skin off your feet just peel off, leaving your piggies feeling rejuvenated and youthful. For your hands, our all-time favorite scrub is the Bonblissity Mini-Me Pack: Sweet+Single Candy Scrubs . Available in six different scents, these mini hand exfoliators are perfect for on the go or storing in a purse. These cute little candy scrubs also infuse your hands with nutrients and moisturizing agents for smoother and more hydrated hands with each use. Need a little extra moisture for your hands? Add a lotion to your care routine to add hydration and lock in health to your skin. The last thing I want to mention for self-care items is probably the most important, supplements. Supplements can play a crucial role in helping to heal and rejuvenate your body and skin from the inside out. They can provide essential nutrients and support overall well-being. Remember, while supplements can be beneficial, they should not replace a balanced diet. They should be used as a complement to a healthy lifestyle and should be taken according to the recommended dosage. Prioritizing self-care, including supplements, can contribute to your overall well-being and help you achieve healthier skin from within. Our favorite supplement for overall health is the ProPatch+ VitriPatch Topical Patch . This patch is more than a multivitamin! This little patch provides a full-spectrum wellness supplement for a healthy lifestyle. The VitriPatch Topical Patch complements our other favorite supplement patch, the ProPatch+ RenewPatch Topical Patch . While the VitriPatch is for overall total health and wellness, the RenewPatch's focus is anti-aging and total nutrition for skin and hair renewal! The RenewPatch also aids in reducing anxiety and stress making these the perfect self-care supplements. A few other great supplements are the Truth Treatment Systems Fulvic Cellular Repair Complex . This supplement gives your body all the minerals and nutrients that are no longer present in our foods! Fulvic minerals are one of nature's most effective anti-oxidants, are easily digested and absorbed into cells, and shown to promote cellular health, regeneration, and detoxification. We know you are busy and sometimes forget to give yourself that little bit of extra attention and self-love you need. Let's put an end to that today because you're important! The amazing staff at Beauty Care Choices is ready to help you start putting yourself first, so get your self-care routine started today!

Believe in What Your Hair Can Be. Do you love the Goldwell Kerasilk collection? Imagine if it got even better! Kerasilk has branched out from Goldwell and has reemerged better than ever! Still including everything you loved about the Goldwell Kerasilk, but also adding more benefits to your hair's overall health. Kerasilks purpose is to help people believe in a stronger, more beautiful future for themselves and their hair. Our hair holds a lot of power and is an extremely important part of our identity. Hair is something that is unique to everyone, and the journey for beautiful hair isn't always just about vanity. Hair has the power to make you feel like you can take on the world, and Kerasilk believes that everyone can! Kerasilk shows you that your hair can be strong and as beautiful as silk. What's different about the new Kerasilk? All products in the new Kerasilk collection are infused with Kerasilk Silk+ Technology, which combines Kerasilks new and exclusive Biomimetic Silk and expertly selected high-potent ingredients and hair enhancers to transform your hair into the healthiest it's ever been. Biomimetic silk is a special ingredient, unlike any other silk protein. This vegan silk mimics the hair-loving effects and benefits of traditional silk proteins found in hair care, replenishing amino acids inside and outside the hair shaft. This ingredient helps ensure that each Kerasilk product helps you achieve the strong, beautiful results you expect. The Kerasilk collection will leave each hair strand noticeably more resilient, shinier, softer, and with more elasticity. When paired with highly potent ingredients and enhancers, these products target the needs of your hair, such as hydration, color protection, or volume, and instantly transform your hair to its healthier new life. High Potent Ingredients: Red Raspberry Seed Oil- A natural source of Vitamin E, Vitamin A, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Blue Lotus Extract- Known for being rich in strengthening nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. Shea Oil- Known for its high concentration of various fatty acids and significant levels of antioxidants such as Vitamin C, A, and E. Hyaloveil- A bioengineered, modified, and advanced type of hyaluronic acid able to adhere to the hair surface, known for its moisturizing and protecting benefits. Konjac Root Powder- A known source of various vitamins, minerals, valuable lipids, and proteins. Carnauba Wax- The “Queen of Waxes” is well known for its high shine and softening properties. Ectoin- A bioengineered ingredient known for protecting from environmental stress such as variations in temperature and dehydration. T-Flavanone- Known for being a powerful redensifying and anti-hair loss agent. Jojoba Beads- A superior and 100% natural alternative to polyethylene beads and an extremely gentle yet effective exfoliant. Why is Biomimetic Silk so good for your hair? Over time, our hair slowly loses amino acids from day-to-day activities, leaving the hair brittle and sometimes even lifeless. Biomimetic Silk replenishes those lost amino acids both inside and outside of the hair shaft, helping to improve each hair strand's internal and external structure. This results in hair that is strengthened, with reduced breakage, and improved overall health. Biomimetic Silk also provides hair with a natural and healthy shine and can help hair retain hydration. With Kerasilk, your hair will be more lustrous and radiant than ever. In addition to its reparative properties, Biomimetic Silk also has a conditioning effect on the hair. It helps to detangle hair and improve its overall softness and manageability, making it easier to style and maintain. With regular use, Biomimetic Silk can help restore your hair's natural strength and beauty, leaving it looking healthier and more vibrant than ever before. How is Biomimetic Silk produced? Biomimetic Silk is created using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast cultured under specific laboratory conditions. This yeast, also known as baker's or brewer's yeast, is an effective tool for protein expression and can be produced in large quantities. By utilizing this method, it is possible to replicate the amino acids commonly found in silk while reducing the use of chemicals, energy, and water. Climate Commitment and Sustainability. Kerasilk is dedicated to incorporating environmentally conscious practices both internally and externally. They are continuously exploring more sustainable alternatives for their packaging and have successfully sourced their products sustainably. Kerasilk's formula is entirely vegan and cruelty-free, without parabens, sulfates, microplastics, and UV filters. They have been monitoring their carbon emissions and actively reducing them to achieve climate neutrality, with any remaining emissions being compensated for. Over two-thirds of their production now utilizes cold batch processing, significantly decreasing their CO2 emissions. Additionally, Kerasilk is committed to reducing packaging waste by maximizing the use of recycled components and promoting recyclability. Despite these efforts, they maintain a premium beauty look and continue to seek out more sustainable options. The Kerasilk product range has been specifically formulated to cater to various hair types and styling requirements, allowing for effortless selection and use of the most suitable product regimen. The products have been designed to seamlessly complement each other, opening up endless possibilities for hair care and enabling everyone to create a customized routine by easily mixing and matching different collections. Encouraging endless possibilities, Kerasilk has created hair care regimens that are truly individual. Get your best hair days ahead with the new Kerasilk haircare collection at Beauty Care Choices.

Makeup is an art that requires skill, creativity, and the right tools. Whether you're a beginner or a makeup pro, there's always room for improvement. The #BeautyCareCrew is sharing 10 tips to upgrade your makeup game and help you achieve flawless looks every time. 1. Start with a clean canvas. Before applying any makeup, starting with a clean and moisturized face is essential. Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oil from your skin, and apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. The BeautyPrep system from Jane Iredale is a great place to start your skincare routine with better makeup application in mind. 2. Choose the right foundation. Finding the perfect foundation is key to achieving a flawless complexion. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and type. Apply it using a makeup sponge or brush for a natural finish. Wet your sponge or brush for fuller coverage. 3. Conceal and brighten. Use a concealer to cover blemishes, dark circles, or redness. Apply it in a triangular shape under your eyes to brighten your face and blend it out for a seamless finish. 4. Set your makeup. To make your makeup last longer, set it with a translucent powder. Use a fluffy brush to apply it lightly all over your face, focusing on your T-zone. Turn to Bodyography Every Finish Poweder if you like a matte finish or Sorme Mineral Secrect for a luminous finish. There is a translucent powder for all! 5. Define your brows. Well-groomed brows can transform your face and make your eyes pop. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and define the shape of your brows. Don't worry about what style of brows are trending, either. Do what makes you feel most comfortable in your own unique look. 6. Add some color to your cheeks. Blush can add a natural flush of color to your cheeks and make you look more youthful. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and apply it on the apples of your cheeks. 7. Highlight your features. Highlighting can enhance your natural features and give you a radiant glow. Use a highlighter on the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow. 8. Line your eyes. Eyeliner can define your eyes and make them appear bigger. Use a pencil or liquid liner to line your upper lash line and wing it out for a cat-eye look. Don't be afraid of other colors with your liner, either. Black is great, but you should always have a brown for a more subtle natural look, a bright color for more playful looks, and even a white for a doe-eyed effect! 9. Enhance your lashes. Mascara can make your lashes look longer and fuller. Use a curler to curl your lashes; a heated one like the Chella Heated Eyelash Curler can also add even more volume. And apply mascara in a zigzag motion from the roots to the tips. 10. Finish with a lip color. Complete your look with a lip color that complements your makeup. Choose a lipstick, lip gloss, or lip stain that suits your skin tone and preference. If you went with a bold liner, opt for a natural lip and vice versa. Following these 10 tips, you can upgrade your makeup game and achieve flawless looks every time. Remember to practice, experiment with different techniques, and, most importantly, have fun! Tag us in your stunning makeup look on TikTok or Instagram with #BeautyCareCrew, we love seeing what you can create!

When it comes to getting fuller and thicker hair, biotin and minoxidil are the top go-to ingredients. They can be found in shampoos, supplements, and topical treatments. Both are effective, but what are the differences between biotin and minoxidil? What is Minoxidil? Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication that is used to treat hair loss. It was discovered during clinical trials for high blood pressure treatment that showed signs of being able to regrow hair. How does it work? When applied to the scalp once or twice a day, topical minoxidil can help encourage hair growth or slow balding. It works by helping to increase the blood flow to the hair follicles. The expansion of the follicular size and hair shaft diameter helps encourage and extend hair growth. These scalp treatments usually have 2% or 5% minoxidil like the BosleyMD Hair Regrowth 2% Minoxidil Treatment Spray for women. What to know? Over the counter minoxidil solution and foam are used to treat male pattern baldness. It is not used for baldness at the front of the scalp or receding hairline in men. The foam and 2% minoxidil solution are used to help hair growth in women with thinning hair like the NIOXIN Hair Regrowth Treatment . Although topical use of minoxidil is generally safe, as with all medications, there may be side effects. It is important to follow all instructions when using this treatment and with any medication, you should check with your doctor. What is Biotin? Biotin is part of the B complex group of vitamins known as vitamin B7 or H. It can be found in small amounts in several foods, such as eggs, liver, mushrooms, and nuts. B complex vitamins keeps your hair and nails healthy. Thinning or brittle hair can be symptoms of biotin deficiency. A diet rich in biotin or taking a hair growth supplement with vitamin B like the Viviscal Professional Hair Nutritional Supplements , can help strengthen existing tresses and stimulate hair growth. Also, biotin have been added to many hair products like shampoos, conditioners, and scalp treatments like the Surface Awaken Scalp Elixir. For best results, try it with the Surface Awaken Advanced Therapeutic Treatment System . How does it work? Biotin is a natural element that helps metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids-the building blocks of protein. The reaction between biotin and cell enzymes aids in producing healthy hair growth since your hair is made with a type of protein called keratin. What to know? Biotin is used primarily for alopecia (hair loss) in men or women. It improves hair growth and helps with inflammation. Biotin has many benefits for strengthening hair, but it is not enough to take biotin alone. If only it was that easy! The reality is that the role of biotin is one part of a bigger picture. The real miracle is improving your overall nutrition by giving your hair follicles all the vitamins and minerals like zinc & vitamin C it needs to encourage hair growth. NIOXIN Recharging Complex Supplements has the full regimen in one convenient tablet. Now that you’re equipped with loads of knowledge about biotin and minoxidil, Beauty Care Choices has many hair loss solutions for you to choose from.
