Healthy skin and nails
16/f
I've always had very good, strong nails (after I stopped biting a few years back!). But, a year ago, my mom suggested I try fish oil pills since I don't eat any seafood whatsoever. They keep my nails very strong and healthy. But, when I take them, I always get pimples, especially in between my eyebrows..and they really never go away. It's like everyday I'll have redness there. So, I stopped taking the fish oil pills, and my skin has been flawless (the way it used to be), but of course my nails have been ravaged. They constantly chip and peel, and make weak efforts to grow. I haven't been able to paint them in a while. I even put on the clear growth polish which helps, but it doesn't stop the chipping in peeling. I also have been eating a handful or two of walnuts for the past 3 or 4 days because I heard they were a good source of omega-3s. What can I do to get omega-3 in my body without having my skin jeopardized??

go to organic and natural food/pharmacy places. around where i live, there's a place called Lakewinds and they have so many natural and organic things. there's a section just for hair and nails. there's also different kinds of vitamin bottles. i'm sure if you just did research on it, you'd find something :)
