Using a cleanser and toner for your skin is great, and surely
mascara and blush will help. But, to really look radiant, you
need to intake essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs directly
control a huge number of cellular processes in the body that
match up with the health of your skin, hair, and nails. For
absolutely gorgeous skin, hair, and nails supplement your daily
diet with fish oil, flax oil, evening primrose oil, borage oil,
and black currant oil.

Without the right amount of vitamins, minerals, and EFAs
(healthy fats), your skin will eventually become dull, dry,
inflamed with eczema, and you will be more prone to premature
aging. Your body cannot manufacture the EFAs that produce supple
skin and shiny hair so you do need to supplement to receive an
adequate amount.

EFAs increase the absorption of vitamins and minerals into your
skin cells while reducing inflammation and promoting proper
nerve function. Supplementing with EFAs helps your body deal
with the pollution it is exposed to. Essential fatty acids
strengthen and increase the fluidity of the delicate membranes
that surround each cell.

According to Lipid Research (2005, 46:1712-1720), researchers
found that Omega-3 inhibited the production of enzymes that
cause connective tissue damage that leads to wrinkled, aging
skin.

In a 2000 report in Arch Gerontol Geriatrics,/i>, twenty-nine
elderly people were given a daily dose of Omega-6 from borage
oil for 2 months to evaluate skin function. Skin water loss was
decreased and itchiness reduced from 34% to zero. Less skin
dryness was reported and it was concluded that consumption of
borage oil led to improved skin function.

Recommended Dosages

Renowned naturopath, Mark Stengler,ND recommends taking 2,000
milligrams of a daily Omega-3 fish oil supplement if your health
is good. Omega-3 also combats arthritis, asthma, cancer, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, attention deficit
disorder, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure,
Chron’s disease, and depression. To look good, you have to feel
good.

Stengler recommends 1 to 2 tablespoons daily of Omega-3 rich
flax seed oil for adults. Children should start at 1 teaspoon.
If you have gallbladder problems, start with 1 teaspoon and
build up gradually to avoid any difficulties with digestion due
to a decreased amount of bile being present. Flax is also great
for reducing acne and relieving arthritis, digestive disorders,
and memory problems.

Omega-6 which helps relieve dry skin and reduce hair loss is
found in borage and evening primrose oil. Stengler recommends
500 to 1,500 milligrams daily of evening primrose oil along with
an Omega-3 supplement to maintain a proper EFA balance in the
body. Omega-6 is the unsung hero when it comes to beautifying
your skin and keeping it free of lines and wrinkles. Applying
borage oil daily to your face is a perfect way to fight the
signs of aging and prevent premature aging of your skin.

Always consult your physician if you plan to start a new
supplement to make sure it does not interfere with any
medication you are currently taking. There is no doubt that EFAs
lead to radiant, healthy, and youthful skin.
