The skin on the lower leg is very thin, so it's the first to be susceptible to dryness - even more so when we're deficient in omega 3s. These, among other things, condition the good health of tissues, particularly skin, as well as our mental state. Thus, if you have dry skin on your lower leg, your brain could also be a little dry...

Nourishing your skin from inside

• It is important to lubricate everything, and this can be done by consuming two tablespoons of olive oil and two tablespoons of oil from rapeseed, walnut, camelina, flax or hemp. Every day, put it in your salads or on your vegetables. Good to know: Olive oil alone is not enough, because it does not contain omega 3. Change your oils frequently, vary them! You'll get a taste for it... and so will your skin.
• To increase your intake of fatty acids, you could also increase your consumption of oilseeds (walnuts, almonds, cashews) and oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines).
• Micronutrition is also a valuable aid. Krill oils (small crustaceans whose name means "whale food" in Norwegian) indeed contain a large amount of omega 3s. They also contain phospholipids and powerful antioxidants such as astaxanthin, which help slow skin aging.
• Drink water... this may seem obvious, but it's obviously essential. Depending on your build and physical activity, you should drink an average of 1.5 L of water per day. If you struggle to drink enough regularly, the "My Water" app available on iPhone and Android can help!
