If you are anything like me and live in the northern states you have dry hands.  Do you keep a bottle of lotion everywhere- work, purse, bathroom, car, beside your bed?  I DO!

I just found out that one of the main components of flaxseeds, omega-3 fatty acids, can improve your skin.  Studies have shown that flax seed can greatly improve the appearance and feel of your skin.  If you have a rash or dry skin, try adding flaxseed to your diet.  The recommended daily dose is 2 tablespoons a day.  Flaxseed acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.  You will notice a reduction in your redness and scaly king.  The omega-3 fatty acides lower the excess blood flow to the skin caused by inflammation.  Flaxseed can be added to almost anything you are eating or baking – add to your yogurt, cereal, even sprinkle it on top of a salad.  You can check out recipe ideas and buy flax at www.flaxmatters.com
