Your Skin’s Love Affair with Omega-3!

Omega-3 fatty acids have powerful health benefits including their potential to fight depression, lower inflammation, build and support your immune system and reduce markers of heart disease. PLUS, one lesser known perk is that they also have amazing benefits for your skin. Take a look!

• Supplementing with DHA/EPA, 2 types of O3s can reduce your skin's sensitivity to UVA/UVB which translates to some protection from sun damage.

• Since O3s help reduce overall inflammation in the body they can be supportive in helping to fight or reduce acne.

• Omega-3s have potent anti-aging properties because they help the skin cells hold moisture leaving softer, smoother, plumper skin.

• Omega-3s help to keep the skin moist and can fight red, dry or itchy skin caused by weather, sun and even skin disorders like psoriasis and dermatitis. 

• Can help accelerate wound healing in the skin which could lead to less scarring in the case of acne.

• A diet rich in O3s may reduce the risk of skin cancers because they can inhibit tumor growth.

Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats found in fish, seafood and plant foods like walnuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds. It is suggested, however, to supplement your diet with Omega-3s so you can be assured that you are consuming a high enough amount. Look for fresh high quality products from companies like Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega.
