Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 I am taking one tablet of zinc per day. I hope this is OK. My facial skin looks fine but I noticed a rash on the back of my arms that will not go away. Another thing that I noticed, when I eat fish (not shelfish)the next day my skin looks good. I was never a fish eater but everyone tells me how good it is for your skin so I'm forcing myself to eat it once per week. I've tried Salmon, fluke and sole and after eating each, my skin looked good the next day. Has anyone else had this experience.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Fran, I've been taking capsules of fish body oils (sorry this sounds gross!) that is high in Omega-3 oils. These supplements really help my skin stay soft and smmoth. Could it be that the fish you're eating has large amounts of these oils? I know that salmon has a high amount of Omega-3 oils though I'm not sure about the other types of fish you mention. Take care! Matija > I am taking one tablet of zinc per day. I hope this is OK.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Matija - This is definitely the case. It's the oils that help. My mother and grandfather who both love fish always had nice skin. I told my mother today about the fish helping my skin and she said that sardines in particular have lots of good oils for the skin. Not sure if I can handle sardines, I'm just getting into eating fish and it's hard for me because I never really liked it, but I thought I'd pass this along.
