Acne Skin – A Deficiency in Essential Fatty Acids can Cause Breakouts

Trans fatty acids are now a day found in most foods and they are partially hydrogenating plant oils that are industrially produced. The aim is to add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats, making them more saturated. This makes food products attractive due to its extended ’shelf-life’. Trans fats are now exchanging essential fatty acids in most foods. Fatty acids are ‘essential’ because they help to maintain hormonal and emotional balance and a lack can trigger the appearance of acne breakouts.
Linoleic acid is a necessary element of sebum. Sebaceous glands release sebum to supply lubrication of follicles and surrounding skin. The body requires these essential fatty acids, linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids, more known as Omega-3 and 6.
Studies have found links that suggest that trans-fats may break-down the body’s supply of essential fatty acids. This is why a deficiency of linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids affects people prone to acne breakouts.
Sebum output begins to be produced with oleic acid that can cause irritation to the skin which is why acne can appear. It has been proposed that oleic acid sebum is drier, stiffer and more prone to cause blackheads, whiteheads and to shape follicular plugs which lead to infections.
Omega-3 is known to reduce inflammation and Omega-6 promotes inflammation. A deficiency in these oils contributes to the development of disease while a proper balance aids to maintain and promote well being.
A Biological source to Prevent unwanted Skin Implications
Inca Inchi oil is a beneficial compound found in biological acne treatments. The oil is the best source of linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids among other essential constituents. Medical research has proven that Omega-3 and 6 are effective in topical preparations when treating acne lesions.
The oil preserves healthy cutis and generally helps the body to maintain balance. Intensive research has also evidenced that these fatty acids permit the protection of the cutaneous lipidic balance, preventing keratinization problems, reducing inflammation and irritation associated with acne.
Acne treatments that contain Inca Inchi Oil will have a rich supply of Vitamin A which is a well-known anti-infectant. This vitamin is necessary for the normal function of the immune system and has been used by professionals to avoid conditions of the skin. It also contains important antioxidants that reduce skin inflammation; chemicals that avoid the oxidation of other chemicals. Oxidation can make extremely reactive free radicals react with and damage other and more important molecules.
Trans fatty acids are rapidly replacing linoleic and alpha linoleic acids in foods, which can cause a deficiency in the body, triggering breakouts. Inca Inchi Oil is a beneficial compound due to its high nutritional value. Skin care treatments that contain this very beneficial constituent will promote overall health, reducing skin conditions for good.
