I appreciate your recommendations for blogs by professionals/industry experts instead of choosing from the huge pool of amateur bloggers. It’s definitely fun to sift through user opinions, but scientific reasoning etc. is the most helpful!

The conversion of flax seed oil (ALA) by a normal human to EPA and AHA (the essential fatty acids that the body needs and actually uses) is less than 9% — very inefficient.

Unless you have vegetarian reasons, you should avoid the conversion problems, and supplement with a high quality fish oil source instead – absolutely nothing will make your skin feel smoother, and be healthier overall.

Does taking flaxseed oil make anyone else breakout? I tried taking them a while back, but made me breakout within a handful of days of taking it… maybe I should try again, and ease into it? Does anyone else have experiences with this?

Thanks, Nicki. Very informative. I’m going to give the info on stretch marks to my sister-in-law. She is a few months preg, and is VERY concerned about stretch marks. Or maybe I won’t tell her. She could use an imperfection or two.

Murad cream is interesting. My derm gave my a glycolic acid facial wash to use with my Retin-A and a DuAc gel- I need to exfoliate big time after those. Does any one know the % of AHA?
I wish I was better at moisturizing with my 2 pregnancies. I do have marks- not too bad but I have to wonder if I was more consistent would they have been there or is it also genetics?
Vit D deficiency will be a problem I think now that people are using so much sunscreen- you can’t win, can you?
