Flax Seed Oil - for the skin

Since getting my little blender a week and a half ago, I have been making myself a protein shake every morning. Ingredients ... soya milk, pomegranate juice, protein powder, frozen berries, yogurt, ground flax seeds and flax seed oil. I've noticed an improvement in my skin - it has a better texture and is glowing. A few months ago I had been taking flax seed oil and noticed my skin was better then as well. I'd run out of the oil and then got out of the habit and had forgotten the skin benefit. I will have to keep this up for sure - if there is a noticable benefit after this short amount of time, I can imagine it is doing other great things. You don't even notice it in a protein shake. I've read about the health benefit of both ground flax seeds and the oil - it is definitely a supplement worth taking - and so easy to incorporate into the routine as well. The other recommendation is to use it to make salad dressing - I must admit I find it too strong and too thick for dressing but don't mind it at all in my protein shake. The shake is delicious and filling - it just makes me feel healthy having all that great stuff in it. Moisturizing from the inside out.

For better looking skin, try omega 5 oil.

Omega 5 oil is extracted from the seeds of pomegranates, usually by cold press methods.

I have been using the products of www.pomega5.com. There are two companies competing as number 1 and 2, the second sells the Tzerah skin care brand.

Try the omega 5 gel caps.

I use flax oil in salad dressings. I've read that some supermodels use it for healthy skin too.
