Helps with Skin Issues
Krill oil is also known for its benefits on the skin and for alleviating skin issues. Fatty acids are required to construct the fatty barrier, which protects the skin from environmental impacts and reduces water loss by evaporation. Dry skin occurs when the fatty acid barrier is compromised due to a lack of specific fatty acids. As we age, we become less able to keep this protective layer of fat intact. As a result, the skin becomes drier and more prone to skin issues.
Additionally, the skin’s health and structural integrity rely on cell hormones, the production of which requires omega-3 fatty acids. UV radiation exposure and inflammatory and allergic illnesses like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis may trigger inflammatory responses, and these hormones can modulate these responses.
Moreover, EPA and DHA might assist with acne vulgaris by reducing hormonal fluctuations and stress-related acne breakouts. Omega-6 fatty acids promote the development of inflammatory acne. In contrast, the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids might help to balance the fatty acid equilibrium.
Additionally, EPA and DHA have noninvasive therapeutic potential to favorably influence cutaneous wound healing by increasing cytokine production at wound sites. Cytokines are proteins involved in the immune system. The elderly and those with diabetes need this because of their impaired wound-healing capabilities.
