ACNE AND NUTRITION PROGRAM CHICO 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC
People prone to oily acne skin, instinctively tend to avoid fats and oils in there diet. The thought process being that those types of foods will contribute to oily skin. This is far from the truth. In fact, acne, can be due, in part, to a lipid deficiency in the skin.
Now you're wondering, if my skin is oily how can it have a lipid deficiency? Here's how. While your oil glands may be over producing oil, your cell membranes may not have the oils they need for proper functioning.
Our cell membranes are made up of fats... healthy fats, also known as essential fatty acids. Many of us do not get enough essential fatty acids in our diet, especially omega-3 fatty acids.
The Standard American Diet severely lacks omega-3s. A diet rich in omega-3s leads to healthy cell membranes, allowing skin cells to function more efficiently. Omega-3s have also been shown to control the synthesis of leukotriene B4, a molecule that has the ability to increase sebum and cause inflammatory acne.
FOODS RICH IN OMEGA-3:
salmon, sardines, anchovies, krill, cod liver oil, mackerel, caviar, chia seed, flax oil, flax seed, avocados, walnuts
