Fish oil

The benefits of fish oil for skin health are widely documented. It includes DHA and EPA, two important fatty acids with potent anti-inflammatory and healing capabilities that have been found to have several positive effects on the skin. Dietary supplements containing fish oil may improve the fatty acid barrier of the skin and increase skin hydration, which is important for maintaining hydration. High-dose oral fish oil supplements dramatically enhanced skin hydration decreased water loss, and relieved dryness-related skin irritation, compared to rats who didn't get the fish oil, according to 90-day research in rats with acetone-induced dry skin. In fact, the study found that after 60 days of therapy, the fish oil group's skin moisture had increased by 30%.

Additionally, studies show that treating psoriasis, a chronic, inflammatory skin condition, with dosages of fish oil daily for six weeks to six months reduced its symptoms, including scaling or dry, cracked skin. Fish oil is a supplement that is generally good for the skin since it has been demonstrated to reduce skin irritation and protect against UV damage. There are numerous excellent fish oil products that have received third-party certification. Consult with your healthcare practitioner to choose the right option and dose for you.
