Omega 3 Fatty Acids Can Make Your Skin Softer and More Youthful

No matter what you use for your skin treatment, consistency and time to let it work is the key. You don’t have to turn to expensive beauty products, however, to get great results.

In fact, you can make many of the best ones from products you may already have at home in your kitchen. You’ll always know these treatments are fresh and also know they won’t contain any toxic ingredients, which is a huge plus.

I love the feeling and look of the skin on my face after I’ve used an Omega 3—flax seed facial. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, which simply means our body needs them, but can’t make them, which is just now getting attention for the role it plays in heart health and overall health.

Some people take the fatty acid in the form of a capsule containing fish or krill oil. These people often have beautiful clear complexions because of it.

Logic would tell you that if it’s right for your skin from the inside, it’s probably helpful from the outside too. That logic would be right because this facial mask leaves your skin soft and glowing.

Fatty acids are oily, and they help to lock moisture into the skin, thus protecting it from environmental assaults and dehydration.

It also penetrates the skin to help keep the skin cells plump and support their membranes.

You’ll love how your skin feels after using this mask and also love the moisturizing effects that make you look younger.

Dr. Budwig, a German scientist and seven-time Nobel Prize nominee, was ahead of her time in 1908 when she recommended a diet that contained flaxseed oil and a German form of cottage cheese, to rebuild good health. Since then, many studies have shown just how important these essential fatty acids are.
