To Get Your Glow Back, 
You Gotta Get Over The “FAT” Thing!
 

Share:

Like all living things, our skin, hair, and nails require nourishment to stay healthy and to repair damage. A wide range of nutrients is needed, including essential fatty acids. Known as long ago as the 1930s, thatessential fatty acids (EFAs) were vital for healthy skin, hair, and nails. As crucial structural components of cell walls, they ensure cell flexibility, giving our skin its smoothness and suppleness. EFAs also prevent water loss from the skin surface. As water is lost, the skin becomes dry, rough, and loses its firmness. Insufficient intake of essential fatty acids (which occurs when we reduce our fat intake) results in loss of skin elasticity and dryness and increases our susceptibility to premature aging.

The First Barrier You Have to Overcome is the FAT THING! 

From the teenage years, all the way through to maturity, a good portion of women “watch what they eat.” This statement generally means instead of being selective of the fats, they cut out everything, including our precious EFA's. In that pursuit of a trim figure, they have been unknowingly creating a much bigger monster for later years, namely, an aging skin! EFA's are vital to the health of our lipid bilayers. We now understand that the skin is the last organ these essential fats reach – the body’s vital organs consume them first, and any lack of EFA’s means the skin often gets no share of these valuable nutrients.

“Our skin cannot thrive without essential fatty acids. They are critical for building healthy cell membranes, preventing dehydration, and maintaining the skin’s protective barrier. When the body is deficient, the skin is often the last to receive these vital nutrients—leading to dryness, inflammation, and premature aging.”

Emily Fritchey, The Skin Whisperer

How Important Are EFA's Really

Unfortunately, few of us know how important essential fatty acids really are and how amazing they are for our skin, hair, wound healing, and overall immunity. EFAs govern every crucial biological function in our bodies.


Both Omega-6’s and Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are critical to good health. But even though your body needs these special fats, the body can’t manufacture them. EFAs are consumed through either diet or supplements. Once in the body, these EFAs break down to form eicosanoids—hormone-like substances that regulate essential bodily functions, including the nervous system and immune response.


EFAs are critical structural components of cell membranes throughout the body. They help cells maintain fluid and flexibility, allowing nutrients to enter the cells and wastes to exit. EFA metabolites also “waterproof” the skin, creating an antimicrobial barrier against the elements. Without enough EFAs, your skin can suffer from dryness and premature aging.


A sun-infused blend of precious plant oils and essential fatty acids strengthens the skin’s barrier function and profoundly replenishes the skin to restore a healthy glow.
