RAINBOW TROUT
While lotion is a great remedy to fight dry, flaky skin, changing your diet can prevent parching in the first place. The best way to keep your outer layer lubricated is to increase your intake of healthy fats. "Fat is a nutrient that protects all cells, including your skin cells," says Kristine Clark, Ph.D., R.D., director of sports nutrition at Pennsylvania State University. If you consume too little fat, your skin becomes brittle. Salmon is a great choice, but rainbow trout has almost as much eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)—an omega-3 fatty acid that stops the stress chemical cortisol from boiling over. EPA makes trout true vanity fare because it stimulates the repair of skin cells.
