Your Skin Needs Oil

Modern science confirms that the nutrients present in unrefined oils are absorbed into and through the skin and provide nourishment to a variety of organ and glandular systems. Foremost among these nutrients are the essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are considered essential because they cannot be manufactured by the human body. High quality, unrefined vegetable oils such as flax, hemp, sesame, and almond contain one or both of the EFAs, omega-3 and omega-6. They also include the natural antioxidants, Vitamins A and E, and a number of other important nutrients.
