Essential fatty acids:
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are some of the “good fats” necessary for the body for its healthy performance. EFAs are must for healthy and youthful skin. Youthful skin is plumpy due to water filled cells but with age skin cell’s ability to hold water decreases. It is the job of fatty acids to keep skin cells healthy and membranes functioning properly that hold in water and nutrients. EFAs helps in preventing acne break out by dissolving fatty deposits (as fatty deposits blocks pores and causes acne). Walnuts, flaxseed, Soya oil, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and leafy vegetables are the sources of EFAs.

your skin with sunscreen (SPF 15-30) at least 20 minutes before stepping out to safeguard it from UV radiation as it will help in protecting your skin from
skin cancer and preventing the signs of skin aging due to sun exposure. Exposure of the naked skin to the sun rays can cause skin darkening and wrinkles.
