Don\u2019t worry, I have some simple suggestions and supplements to help support your skin needs.\r\r\r\rWith the winter season upon us, cold weather can bring about dry skin, hair, and even nails due to temperature changes, reduction in humidity, and using heat in your house. Washing your hands can also make it difficult to keep your skin hydrated and soft. Constant exposure to hot water and soap, hand sanitizers, and other harsh chemicals can strip oils from your skin.\r\r\r\rBest supplements for dry skin\r\r\r\rOne way to help support healthy skin is to reduce inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for reducing inflammation within the body and are being researched for many other health benefits as well. We mainly find these healthy fats in wild-caught salmon, sardines, cod, walnuts, and flaxseeds. While these are a great addition to a healthy diet, it can be hard for food alone to provide enough omega-3 fatty acids to your diet to get the full benefits. One way to meet those needs is to take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Omega-3 fish oil, vegan DHA, and evening primrose oil are all dietary supplements that help to support a healthy inflammatory response to promote skin health.\r\r\r\rBoth omega-3 and omega-6 play a protective role in the barrier and integrity of the skin. These fatty acids also provide strength in the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin by modulating the inflammatory response. If you are deficient in essential fatty acids, you can lose moisture in your skin, which may lead to rashes, dry skin, and itchiness.\r\r\r\rNeed healthy skin support?\r\r\r\rIf you want to support your skin health and you think you may not be getting enough healthy fats in your diet, consider supplementing with essentials fatty acids including omega 3, DHA, or evening primrose oil.\r\r\r\rWant to find supplements to support clear, radiant skin all year long?
