Kini, can you elaborate on the ratio b/w omega 6 and 3 oils? I've been having skin problems lately and realized I do consume quite a bit of omega 6 foods (avocados, nuts, etc). Thanks, very interesting

I suffered from severe cystic acne for 16 years and used birth control to manage it. But 6 months ago I went off birth control, made some drastic changes in my diet, and have absolutely no acne. I suggest doing some research and experimenting, but given my own experience and that of others I've talked to, I believe diet really does have a huge effect on skin. |
