Diet Tip: Omega 3 supplements

Using fish oil supplements in a dose of two to three grams (capsules) per day provides essential fatty acids that reduce inflammatory responses in the body and improve moisture retention in the skin. An alternative to supplements is to consume two to three servings of fatty fish per week such as salmon, tuna, and sardines. A further alternative to increase omega three consumption is to use one to two tablespoons of flax oil per day either as a salad dressing or in place of other fats on bread.

My extremely dry skin is improved when I use adequate amounts of omega threes each day. When I do not, I definitely notice a negative effect on my skin.
