Acne - Essential Fatty Acids versus Trans Fats

Trans fatty acids are found in most foods today and they are industrially created by partially hydrogenating plant oils. The aim is to make them more saturated by adding hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats. This makes food products attractive due to its extended 'shelf-life'. Trans fats are currently exchanging essential fatty acids in most foods. Fatty acids are 'essential' because they help to keep emotional and hormonal balance and a deficiency can trigger the appearance of acne.

Linoleic acid is a natural compound of sebum. Sebaceous glands, found within hair follicles, release sebum to provide 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.

Scientists have found connections that suggest that trans fats can decrease the body's own provision of essential fatty acids. This is why acne breakouts are more likely to appear in people that have a deficiency in Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils.

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 more desiccant, firmer and more prone to cause blackheads, whiteheads and to form follicular plugs which lead to acne infections.

Omega-3 is known to reduce inflammation and Omega-6 promotes inflammation. A lack of these oils encourages the development of skin conditions while a correct balance helps to maintain and promote well being.

A Biological source to Prevent unwanted Skin Implications

Inca Inchi oil is a beneficial compound found in natural acne treatments. The oil is the best source of Omega-3 and -6 oils among other necessary compounds. Clinical research has evidenced that linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids are efficient in topical balms when treating acne lesions.

The oil preserves healthy cutis and generally aids the body to maintain balance. Intensive research has also proved that these fatty acids allow the protection of the cutaneous lipidic balance, avoiding keratinization problems, diminishing inflammation and irritation related with blemishes.

Acne treatments that contain Inca Inchi Oil will have a rich supply of Vitamin A which is a known anti-infectant. This vitamin is necessary for the standard function of the immune system and has been utilized by professionals to prevent conditions of the skin. It also contains important antioxidants that decrease skin inflammation; chemicals that prevent the oxidation of other chemicals. Oxidation can create highly reactive free radicals to act with and damage other and more important molecules.

Trans fats are quickly replacing linoleic and alpha linoleic acids in foods, which can cause a deficiency in the body, triggering breakouts. Inca Inchi Oil is an important ingredient due to its high nutritional value. Skin care treatments that contain this very beneficial constituent will promote overall well-being, diminishing skin conditions for good.
