Essential for optimal health, omega fatty acids are among the few rare fats that are actually good for us. Found in nuts, fi sh and leafy green veggies, these powerhouse nutrients are chock-full of benefi ts—among them cancer prevention and improved memory—but it doesn't end there. Omega fatty acids also nourish and strengthen hair, as well as revitalize and rejuvenate skin. "Omega 3 is excellent for promoting healthy hair and skin," says Matrix celebrity stylist and artistic director Nick Stenson. "It adds shine and elasticity to hair while allowing the follicle to open and promote growth." Omega fatty acids are also powerful anti-infl ammatories, and research has shown that they protect skin cells from the sun, fi ght wrinkles and keep the dermis hydrated. "No matter the type of omega 3, 6 or 9, essential fatty acids all serve the same function to hydrate and smooth the skin," explains Natalie Pergar, international trainer coordinator for Éminence Organic Skin Care. "These essential fatty acids may also reduce fi ne lines and the appearance of scars and stretch marks."
