Question:
Is there any omega or essential oil that can be taken by mouth to help dry skin?
I am having a really hard time with dry skin. I am using a large bottle of lotion every week — uawrn (posted on January 19, 2003)

Try the Nuetrogena after shower oil - it's worked wonders
for me! Evening Primrose Oil can be found in gel caps, and
work well for womyn. If you had the BDP/DS, you are only absorbing 20-30%
of the fat that you ingest - you might try
upping your fat content, too. Good Luck!

Yes. Coromega can even be absorbed by RNY & BPD people. It's in a
non-oil form. It's little packets, smaller than a fast food ketchup. The
OMegas are in a "pudding" like form, orange creamsicle. Not bad,
actually. I tested these in my own distal blood to be SURE it works before
recommending it.

Hi.. My skin was really really dry and nothing I tried helped...Until I
purchased HYDRApHEL Complex by Erno Laszlo...After a couple of weeks my
skin was as soft as a babies..no kidding..I was amazed..You can do a search
on the Internet for what stores sell it...It was expensive but worth every
penny....Hope this helps you...

Flaxseed oil is a wonderful source of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. I'm
also living proof that it lowers cholesterol, also! I buy the cold pressed
Flora brand high lignan flax oil from the healthfood store. You get a much
greater concentration fo the essential fatty acids from the liquid rather
than purchasing the capsules. You can use it in place of butter or salad
dressing. Caveat - it can be an "acquired" taste. Also - a
trick I used to avoid stretch marks when pregnant was to rub baby oil into
my skin before getting out of the shower. Simply towel off as usual and
use lotion as needed. Keeps skin supple. Sometimes it's just really hard
to keep dry skin under control in the winter months.

There is a wonderful oil called Udos and can be purchased at netrition.com
It has a lot of different oils. I know the creator has a website but don't
know the address. I put some in my protein drinks in the morning but you
can also put on salads for dressing with some vinegar. It helps many many
things including dry skin.

Our bodies do not process oil correctly. I have been taking Coromega (I get
it from Vitalady) and it resolved my dry skin problems within the first
week. I had a bariatric physician suggest fish oil when I was on a protein
sparing fast for over a year. Coromega has the same omega 3 fatty acids in
a non-oily base.
