Using Essential Fatty Acids in Your Fight Against Acne
Reclaiming a healthy skin on your face
requires a few steps to achieve. For the moment we will
concentrate on the role of essential fatty acids and how to use
them.
Essential fatty
acids are called essential because they are essential to health in
general and you need them to help clear up acne in particular. They help by
controlling the production of excess androgens. Androgens are
hormones that emerge at puberty and can cause excess sebum oil to
clog your hair follicles. This makes
fertile ground for acne. |

These are the fatty acids which, if taken daily, will help prevent this
excess of sebum oil.:
* Omega 3
* Omega 6
* Omega 9
Without enough of these not only will you have acne, but sooner or
later you will also have:
*· Inflammations, particularly in joints
* A weak immune system
* Poor skin condition
* Wounds that are slow to heal
* Sebum production increases (this is what happens when you have
acne)
* Sebaceous glands enlarge
Taking essential fatty acids into your body is necessary so you
get the right oils in the sebaceous glands. You will find them in
oily fish – salmon, mackerel, cod, herring – any cold-water fish.
They are also in olive oil and in flax seed oil (mix them and
drizzle over your salads with a little lemon juice), Nuts and
seeds are rich in them as well. So it is actually quite easy to
find them.
Using flax seed oil (omega 3 oil) and olive oil (omega 6 oil) are
the best oil sources for these two omegas, and are called
polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Omega 9 is called monounsaturated fatty acid, and is even better
for you. This oil is found in avocados and to an extent in olive
oil.
Most people do not get enough
nutrition and
fiber rich
foods to keep themselves in reasonable health, never mind
looking naturally fantastic.
The average diet does include olive oil (omega 6) and may have an
omega oil imbalance. So, you may need to increase your flax seed
oil for more omega 3.
Omega 3 is also in:
* Albacore tuna
* Sardines
* Salmon
* Avocado pears
* Sesame seeds
* Pumpkin seeds
* Walnuts
* Dark leafy green vegetables (spinach, mustard greens, kale)
* Wheat germ oil ·
Or, you may prefer to add 1 or 2 tablespoon flax seed oil (omega 3
oil), each day to your smoothies, breakfast cereal, salads, soups
and salads. This should satisfy your daily body needs..
Omega 6 is in:
* Chicken
* Olives
* Olive oil
* Sunflower seeds
* Sunflower oil
* flaxseeds
* flaxseed oils
* grape seed oil
* pistachio nuts
* evening primrose oil
* pumpkin seeds
* pine nuts
You do need slightly more omega 6 than omega 3. Taking 2 or 3
tablespoons a day is about right.
These are the essential oils to control those androgens that
create acne or pimples. So start using more essential fatty acids.
