What are omega-3 fatty acids, and what do they do for skin?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients found in certain foods. They can serve to regulate the skin’s oil production, improve balanced hydration, subdue breakouts and minimize signs of aging. Omega-3s can also help soften rough, dry skin and have a soothing effect on irritation and dermatitis.

But that’s not all! Research shows that regularly taking fish oil may boost the skin’s immunity to UV damage and skin cancer.

What foods contain omega-3s?

Fish oil is the most popular dish that has these elements.  Omega-3s are also found in vegetarian sources such flax seeds, chia seeds, and soybean oil. The difference is that omega-3s from fish oil are quickly absorbed after eating, whilst those from plants must first undergo conversion in order to be utilized by the body.

How do omega-3 fatty acids affect your skin?

Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids through fish oil supplements or other foods helps regulate your skin’s inflammatory response and enhance the composition of its fatty acids. 

To put it in another way, skin remains softer and less inflamed! Maintaining healthy amounts of fatty acids can also lessen the effects of sun damage and ease sensitive skin problems.

What is the ideal omega-3 concentration for skin?

There’s actually no set recommendation for how much omega-3 you need but The American Heart Association recommends eating fish about 2 servings (particularly fatty fish) per week for a healthy diet that as we all know for sure it reflects on your skin.
