Essential fatty acids is the key to maintaining a fabulous skin as they contribute to texture, softness, quality and improve circulation. They also moisturise the skin from the inside and have an anti inflammatory healing effect.
There are various families of EFAs and these are identified by numbers for example omega 3, 6, and 9. Omega 3 and 6 cannot be made in the body; therefore they need to be consumed regularly.
Vegetarian sources are primarily from various plants, seeds, avocados, nuts, some beans (i.e soya) green leafy and sea vegetables. Various fish offer Omega 3 from the animal kingdom.
Many women are concerned about eating any kind of fat at all and do not distinguish between good and not so healthy fats. This inevitably means that they may also avoid the considerable benefits of EFAs. With regards to skin, commonly a deficiency manifest as itchy scaly dryness which increases that likelihood of early wrinkling.
There are a number of different fatty acids spectrum of oils, in the synchronistic way nature presents them. A study in the American journal of Clinical Nutrition which evaluated the various aspects of diet on the skin, concluded that linoleic acid (omega 6) has a positive effect. One of the properties of Omega 3 Oils is especially in terms of ageing the skin.
