Managing the Change of Seasons for your Skin

When cold weather sets in, it can have a significant impact on the skin, often leading to dryness and discomfort. The primary reason for this change is the drop in humidity levels during the winter months, which strips the skin of its natural moisture. Additionally, cold air can cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin and depriving it of essential nutrients and hydration. Indoor heating systems, which are commonly used to combat the chilly temperatures, further exacerbate the problem by drying out the air and, consequently, the skin. As a result, the skin may become dry, flaky, and even prone to cracking, necessitating a more rigorous moisturizing routine to maintain its health and suppleness.

Omega-3 fatty acids, vital nutrients present in specific foods, are like the superheroes of the nutrient world! This dynamic duo, DHA and EPA, work wonders in enhancing heart, brain, bone, and joint health, ensuring your overall well-being.

For skin health products rich in Omega 3 may help ease not only dryness and flakiness but also inflammation and irritation.

For Eczema and Dermatitis

Fatty acids can assist in maintaining soft skin and decreasing inflammation. Omega 3s can improve your skin’s water retention capabilities by strengthening its protective barrier which will positively impact the hydration level of your skin, offering much-needed moisture for those with dry, irritated, or dermatitis-prone skin.

For Acne Skin Types

Omega 3 can help reduce inflammation, making fatty acids a popular choice for improving skin conditions such as acne. Studies are exploring the link between omega 3 and acne, suggesting that taking a fish oil supplement could reduce the severity of blemishes.

For Overall Skin Health

Fatty acids provide incredible benefits for skin health especially those suffering from dryness. Taking an omega supplement and applying omega rich ingredients topically aids in strengthening and refining the skin’s surface, restoring the skin barrier to enhance moisture and elasticity, calming irritated, sensitive, and red skin, easing dry, flaky skin, nourishing and shielding the skin from environmental harm, as well as preserving moisture, balancing oil production, and upholding elasticity.
