For those of you who suffer from acne, try taking fish oil everyday. It seems as if fish oil plays a regulatory role in sebum production, meaning that it allows the skin to produce just enough to avoid dryness while, at the same time, also avoiding oilyness. Hence, people who take fish oil have reported having less issues with dryness while at the same time, achieving a clearer complexion.

If you have $6 to spare, consider purchasing fish oil pills. Not only is it good for your health, but it could be even better for your skin.
