The Dynamic Skin Benefits of Fish Oils

Omega 3 fish oil, sometimes known as omega 3 fatty acids, has the ability to help keep skin healthy and youthful and slow the aging process, according to new research.

In recent studies, cells getting Omega-3 fatty acids were much more resistant to damage and wrinkles by helping to normalize skin lipids and cells, keeping the skin moist.

Fish Oils are also known for their reduction of inflammation and irritation, making them a great treatment for eczema, psoriasis and acne.

The EPA and DHA in Fish Oils play a huge role in creating the "good" prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are special hormones that help to regulate all functions within cells. They also keep a hormone called androgen in check so that you don’t produce excess sebum in the hair follicle where acne starts!
