Natural Beauty Inside Out
I have junked the collagen supplements in favour of the cheaper and more beneficial flaxseed oil capsules these days.
Flaxseed oil is a natural source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which is good for maturing, dry skin as well as skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. In fact, it is one of the most easily available healthy fats which I’ve wrote about.
