12 Potential Benefits of Fish Oil

Unlike plant-based oils, fish oils contain DHA and EPA, essential fatty acids the body can't make for itself. These are incorporated into cell membranes in the top layer of skin (the epidermis), forming a protective web around them, helping to stop moisture being lost and giving skin a healthy appearance.Fish oil contains two main types of omega-3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA keeps the brain functioning properly. And EPA greatly benefits skin by regulating oil production to boost hydration and prevent acne, and by delaying the skins aging process to stave off wrinkles.
