Omega 3's and Collagen
Omega 3's are a type of essential fatty acid, meaning our body can't produce them on its own, we need to get them from our diet or through supplementation. We can get Omega 3's in our diet through foods like nuts and seeds like hemp, chia, flax as well as seafood.
Omega 3's have many different health benefits, but when it comes to our skin, Omega 3's can provide lubrication to the skin from the inside, sealing in moisture and can be helpful for dry, itchy skin, eczema and can even help reduce acne.
Collagen is another one of our healthy skin must-haves. Collagen is a protein that our body naturally produces and is found in our hair, skin, nails, joints, muscles and tendons. It's almost like the "glue" that holds our body together. However, once we turn between 25-30 our own body's collagen production starts to decline and we might start to experience symptoms like aches and pains in our joints, skin wrinkles, elasticity issues or dull skin.
