Essential Fatty Acids - Essential for Optimum Skin Health

Essential fatty acids are required for overall good health and serve multiple bodily functions, one of which is its contribution to optimum skin health.

In fact, essential fatty acids (omega-3s and omega-6s) are the building blocks of healthy cell membranes. They help produce the skin's natural oil barrier, which is critical in keeping skin hydrated, plumper, and younger looking, says a leading health professional.

In particular, essential fatty acids help to normalise the epidermal lipids, which simply means they assist in regulating both oil and water in the skin. If skins are looking dull and flaky this could be a sign that you are lacking in essential fatty acids.

Essential Fatty acids are also able to help with the prevention of dehydration too, they are key to helping create a barrier to seal in the moisture.

Interestingly, essential fatty acids also help to protect and balance the barrier of the skin, fighting off any unwanted compounds.

 

You will find essential fatty acids in polyunsaturated fats (the good fats) which include, fish and shellfish, flaxseeds (linseed) and flaxseed oil, hemp seed, olive oil, soya oil, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, leafy vegetables and walnuts.

Fats developed a bit of a bad reputation a while ago, but it's important to realise there is a difference between good and bad fats. Essential fatty acids are one of the good fats, it's the trans and saturated fats you want to avoid or limit in your daily diet.

By ensuring your daily intake of essential fatty acids is adequate, you will have a much better chance of reducing the signs of premature aging, breakouts and tired looking skin.

Coincidentally, if you're looking for a MISMO product high in essential fatty acids, the Nourishing Cream is it. Rich in nut oils, Sweet Almond and Macadamia Oil, together with Coconut and Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter and our favourites MSM and Aloe Vera Juice, this MISMO moisturiser is just beautiful with very real and powerful anti-aging properties.

Powder or Capsules?

MSM Powder – Dietary supplement for general wellbeing and an active lifestyle. The most economical option and perfect for daily use at home.

MSM Capsules – TGA-listed medicine containing the same MSM powder. Convenient for travel or if you prefer to avoid the taste.

Benefits

  • ✅Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • ✅Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • ✅Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • ✅Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • ✅Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • ✅Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take 1–2 capsules daily (equivalent to ¼–½ teaspoon powder) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 5-6 capsules daily (equivalent to 1 teaspoon powder), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, lower your dose and increase gradually. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.
