Dry Skin

Did you know dry skin could be coming from issues on the inside of you? 

Dry skin that feels tight, itches, and flakes isn’t pretty and the cause could actually be an essential fatty acid deficiency. The remedy is to oil your skin from within with the right kind of oils in the right ratio. There are only two kinds of essential fats: omega 3s and omega 6s.

The proper ratio of essential fats isn’t usually achieved because the average Western diet is too high in omega 6s and dangerously low in omega 3s. The result of this imbalance in the skin is dryness, dandruff, eczema and psoriasis-like skin conditions, acne, cracked heels, toxic deposits in the skin, skin damage, and increased risk of sunburn.

Researchers suggest taking one tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day of an essential fatty acid mixed in food and spread over the course of the day. Healthy skin needs omega 3s and 6s to form a barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating quickly.

Nourish your dry skin from the inside out.
