Getting the Basics Right

Our skin is a window to our dietary habits – it gives us a glimpse of what’s going on in our bodies. If our skin looks dry or tired, then one of the main causes can be the foods we put into our bodies or in many cases the foods we are NOT putting in. Essentially Fatty Acids (EFAs) Omega 3 and 6 are often missing from our diets and can have a significant effect on both our general health and our skin.

Fats as a whole have had a bad name over the last couple of decades with a huge number of low fat or fat free foods being introduced. However a lack of ‘good’ Essential Fats can lead to dry, flaky skin. It is important that we supply our body with ‘healthy’ fats, Omega 3 and 6, as when consumed in the right quantity from a quality source and in the ideal ratio of 2:1, they can have positive effects on our health and the look and feel of our skin.  

Essential Glow

By supplying your body with the correct fats - Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's), it allows your skin's cell membranes to hold onto water that would escape if your diet is lacking them. In this simple action EFAs work as internal moisturisers, giving you beautiful skin from within. At the same time it is observed that hair gains a new lustre, and nails become flexible and strong.

Nature’s Way to Beautiful Skin

The Essential Fatty Acids in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend are a major part of the fight for beautiful skin, hair and nails. It is a blend of organic seed oils that provide a convenient way of getting all the Omega 3 and 6 you need in the ideal ratio of 2:1.

Including Udo's Oil in your daily diet is a top tip of many celebrities, including professioanl make-up artist Jemma Kidd, who, thanks to her daily Udo's Oil, uses her make-up to enhance ratherthan mask her features:

“My philosophy is that beauty starts from within; make-up is a great tool but it’s what you put into your body that really counts. Having healthy skin, hair and nails is important to me and Udo’s Choice is the best product I’ve found for maintaining them. Since using Udo’s Oil my nails are stronger, I no longer have dry skin and I rarely get blemishes – my concealer has virtually been made redundant! Now I can use make-up to enhance my features, not mask them”

Mixed in with food or smoothie, Udo's Oil can be seen as nature’s way to beauty!

Moisturise your Skin from Within

Both Eczema and Psoriasis, are inflammatory in nature. Most people's diet are rich in Omega 6 compared to Omega 3. To reduce skin inflammation, you need to increase the Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio of your diet. Udo's Choice Oil Blend contains twice as much Omega 3 (50% of the oil) as Omega 6 (25% of the oil).

A simple replacement damaged commercial oils with the undamaged, organic oils in Udo's Choice Oil Blend gives partial or total relief of these inflammatory conditions within a very short time. Udo's Oil can even bring improvement by being put on the skin from the outside.

For women who are considering a baby, it is worth noting that stretch marks are merely a sign of undernourished skin. It is caused by the skin not growing fast enough, whilst being pulled tight across the body. If you have insufficient good fats (EFA's) in your body, this pulling causes small tears to form in the skin, resulting in stretch mark scarring.

As the other vital organs of the body are given preferential treatment for EFAs, it will take up to a month of regular use to notice the changes in your skin, and up to three months for the changes in your hair and nails (those who are more EFA deficient will take more time, others will take less).

So a happy, healthy glow can be yours with Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend.
