Oil Up for Summer Sun!
01/06/2010
We all know that well-oiled skin tans better and burns less but don't just spread that oil on the outside of your skin. - spread it on the inside too! An effective way of keeping your skin moisturised is to increase the essential fatty acids (EFAs) in your diet – especially Omega 3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) – which helps stop the sun from drying the skin and guards against inflammation.
With a sufficient amount of Omega 3 ALA you should find you are able to stay out in the sun longer before burning and enjoy a deeper, longer lasting tan. EFA's aid healthy skin by supplying our skin cell's membranes with the oils needed to retain water. A deficiency of these oils leads to dryness.
Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend is a natural organic blend of seed oils which supply these Essential Fatty Acids in the optimum ratio of 2:1 Omega 3 :Omega 6. As well as helping the skin to retain water, the EFA's found in Udo's Choice also help to nourish collagen, the supporting structure beneath the skin and help reduce the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.
An added benefit is that the sun is one of our main sources of Vitamin D, which is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight - so some sun exposure without blocking it with lotion can be beneficial. Using EFA's to improve your natural protection against the sun also means that you can make the most of the Vitamin D that we make from sunlight. Sensible sun exposure without using sunblock is the best way to optimise the production of this powerful nutrient.
Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend is available from Health Food Stores, selected Holland and Barrett and GNC stores and online starting from £9.99.
