RE: Dry flakey skin on face and scalp

[Guest guest]

>>>I am getting very dry skin on my face ( forehead and nose area )

not sure why. My daily diet consists of half a dozen raw eggs and

butter for breakfast. Lunch is lamb chops ( ones with alot of fat on

outside ) with lettuce/tomatoe and butter. Dinner is usually chicken

or more lamb, potatoe, pumpkin more butter and other steamed

vegatables. So i thought i was getting good amounts of the right fats.

Can anyone help?

****Is the lamb and other meats grass-fed/forage-fed? My guess (and it's

only a guess) would be an EFA deficiency or imbalance. My skin was best when

I was taking flaxseed oil regularly, same goes for my dogs' coats. If your

meats/eggs arent' grass-fed/forage-fed, why don't you try adding foods that

are richer in EFAs (particulary n3s) such as fish (deep ocean), ground

flaxseeds, hemp seeds, purslane and more leafy greens. There's always the

dreaded fish oil capsules, but if you decide to take them, choose a brand

carefully (Natural Factors is my favorite) due to peroxidation and

contamination issues and be sure to get enough vit E to protect against

oxidation.

Alternatively, you could just rub coconut oil on your face, which will make

it very soft. <g>

Is it possibly some sort of healing crisis? The skin is the largest

eliminative organ in the body; maybe your good diet is encouraging a

toxic dump out of your body. I don't know for sure, but I would assume

you could have a skin reaction during a healing crisis.

Yogabud,

Without knowing much about the quality of your diet I would say you are

probably going through a cleanse of some sort, particularly since the dry

skin seems to be localized. Give it a few weeks and see what happens.
