The body needs fats, healthy ones of course but fats. 

Healthy fats are non‑negotiable for skincare: they feed the lipid barrier, helping to maintain keratinocyte membrane fluidity and stratum corneum lipid balance(keeps your skin soft and glowing). Lipids regulate inflammation, and enable vitamin absorption. Fat‑free diets compromise barrier repair and systemic health. The best approach is a balanced intake of monounsaturated fats (like olive oil) and polyunsaturated fats(like salmon & walnuts), with moderation in saturated fats(like dark chocolate and cocoanut) and avoidance of trans fats(like margarine and packaged cookies and crackers and basically anything with man made fats).

The endpoint is that if you want soft supple skin, that has a natural healthy glow, skip the Fat Free Fad and, Eat more of these healthy fats: 

Olive oil – supports vascular and barrier health.

Avocados – rich in oleic acid, also provide fiber and antioxidants.

Macademia Nuts– Benefits: support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and contribute to skin barrier lipid balance.

Sincerely,

Annie
