Natural Beauty Inside Out
We’ve recently taken to eating avocados at home, under the influence of my mom. I noticed that her skin was looking firmer after she started taking this fruit consistently for a few weeks and found out that it’s because the fruit is rich in monounsaturated fat and essential fatty acids, including omega 3 and 6 fats.
I want to thank Zhenling for bringing the Kordel’s brand of evening primrose oil to my attention in my earlier post essential oils to help relieve PMS:
I like EPO for menstrual cramps. In my experience, the brand matters a lot. Only Kordel’s work for me. No more cramps that cripple me for 24 hrs. Yay! ~ Zhenling
Two readers have mentioned the benefits of using zinc supplements for healthier skin. Pei Fang aka pf1123 mentioned that zinc might help to reduce inflammation, reduce acne and acne scarring. And in one of my earlier posts on cheek acne, a reader by the name of Lily suggested taking zinc tablets to help with acne.
I recommend taking zinc tablets. Zinc is really good for skin healing. I’ve been taking a zinc tablet combined with a vitamin C tablet and I’ve noticed my skin is healing faster and the scars on my cheeks are fading quicker!
Lately, we’ve been consuming lots of kiwifruits. The supermarkets here are promoting them rather aggressively, on the basis that they contain lots of vitamins to help improve our immunity against swine flu. Well, indeed they are!
