…Flax Seed!

Flax seed oil contains high levels of omega 3 and omega 6, essential fatty acids which can either be taken internally or applied externally as a pack for healthy skin.

Flax seed oil is useful for healing scars and abrasions as it contains anti-inflammatory properties. This also makes it useful for inflamed skin or skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema. The moisturising properties of the oil also makes it a fantastic treatment for dry skin.

Many skin problems today such as acne, eczema and psoriasis may also be partly due to the fact that the modern diet is lacking in omega 3 essential fatty acids. As a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids flax seed is able to replenish the correct body levels of these fats and so benefit skin disorders that may result from a deficiency. Within a few weeks of regularly taking in flax seeds, or flax seed oil, you should notice your skin is plumper, firmer and looks much healthier.

You can take flax seed oil internally by sprinkling ground flax seed over cereals and salads or adding whole flax seeds to a glass of water and drinking immediately.
