Expert Quote:
“[Linoleic acid] is an essential fatty acid your body can’t make, so you must consume it in your diet. It’s also the most abundant fatty acid in your skin. In a study of about 4,000 women, people with a diet higher in linoleic acid were associated with a lower likelihood of skin atrophy, better known as the thinning of your skin and which also magnifies wrinkles on your face. The older women in the study who had lower dietary intakes of both linoleic acid and vitamin C also had drier skin.” – Clinical Associate Professor Joan Salge Blake
