Omega Acids are Essential Fatty Acids present in foods and are necessary to provide us, above all, with good health and well-being, one of the great reasons why adding them to our skin care treatments is essential, since we reinforce those acquired through our diet, thus providing that double benefit to our skin!
What are Omega Fatty Acids and their differences?
There are 3 main Fatty Acids: Omega 3, 6 and 9.
We have Linolenic Acid (Omega-3) and Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) that the body does not produce biologically, so they must be obtained through the diet, yes or yes.
On the other hand, we have Oleic Acid (Omega-9), this is a fatty acid that our body can produce on its own, which is why it is classified as a “non-essential” and important fatty acid.
Where do we find them?
- OMEGA-3: Fish oil, vegetable oil, walnut oil, linseed oil, chia and flax seeds, leaf vegetables…
- OMEGA-6: Safflower oil, grape seed, sunflower, soy, sesame, pumpkin...
- OMEGA-9: Olive oil, sunflower oil, linseed oil, macadamia nuts, avocado, olives, almonds...
What benefits do applying them to our skin provide?
Research has shown that Omega Fatty Acids play a very important role thanks to the benefits they provide to maintain healthy skin and perfect well-being, among other things.
Its deficiency in the skin can lead to the loss of water and fats, causing dry skin, and in addition, the epidermal barrier is not sufficiently reinforced and is vulnerable to pathogens, weakening its state, causing irritation and sensitivity, and also influencing in the appearance of spots and accelerated aging.
