Omega 3 fatty acids have many health benefits, many of which are related to an overall anti-inflammatory effect. One benefit of this is healthier skin and hair. For healthy skin, omega 3 fatty fish oil concentrate may be a helpful nutritional supplement.
Moisture
Healthy skin has good turgor and feels smooth and elastic to the touch. Both
adequate hydration and moisturizing skin oils help maintain skin health. Healthy
nutritional oils, like that in fatty fish oil concentrate, help our bodies
manufacture oils that keep our skin moisturized. This oily coating protects
us from environmental damage that can otherwise dehydrate and crack our skin. Dry,
cracked skin is prone to wrinkling and other signs of aging.
Anti-Inflammatory Effect
Omega 3 fatty acids may be helpful in treating acne, psoriasis and other skin-related
disorders. The anti-inflammatory effect of fish oil supplementation
may be instrumental in treating the scaliness of psoriasis. In one
study, people who were treated with medication and omega 3 fatty acids had
better results than people who received only medication.
Some people believe omega 3 fatty acids are useful in treating acne, too. The anti-inflammatory effect may help prevent outbreaks. One wonders if applying fish oil concentrate to acne outbreaks would help them heal more quickly.
Photodermatitis
Photodermatitis is a rare condition of extreme sensitivity to UV radiation. In
one study of people with this disorder of the skin, omega 3 fatty fish oil
concentrate supplements provided considerable improvement. Sun blocking
products provide better protection from the sun, though.
NOTE: The topical DHA added to self-tanning lotions is not an omega 3 oil. It is dihydroxyacetone, a carbohydrate. The omega 3 fatty acid DHA is docosahexaenoic acid. Even though both have to do with UV protection, they are not the same thing.
