Hydrate and soothe your skin with omega 3
Above all, it is necessary to know that the omega 3 essential fatty acids play an essential role with regard to your skin – structurally as well as functionally – particularly, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), but our organism does not know how to synthesize them. A daily intake in our food is thus necessary.
The recommended daily nutritional intake of omega 3 is 1.6 grammes per day for women and 2 grammes for men. However, we consume only half of this amount…
An intake of ALA is thus essential for our skin because, on the one hand, by its incorporation into the cells’ membrane, it provides elasticity and resistance and, on the other hand, it significantly reduces the level of prostaglandine 2, a mediator of inflammation.ALA soothes reactive and intolerant skins. In order to have a hydrated and smooth skin, take a nutritional supplement that is rich in ALA. Take more omega 3 and less omega 6. It is preferable to buy rapeseed oil, which contains 10% of omega 3, or olive oil which is neutral and contains neither omega 3 nor omega 6.
