    Does using Flaxseed oil and evening primrose oil make you break out/ have oily skin?
    Hi! So I was breaking out a little on my face, like cyst type pimples ( very few). Someone that works at whole foods (heath care section) told me to take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day, and also to take evening primrose oil gel tablets. They warned me that I may break out in the first week, because it will be cleaning out my skin.. also that my skin needs to get used to it. Ok yes, I broke out soooo bad. I had cystic pimples everywhere, and places that I never had broken out before. I thought that I should wait it out though, since he told me to. Now it has been two weeks. My face is very shiny and oily. I am still breaking out a little, not as bad as the first week. But the scars are now everywhere from that first week.
    My question is.. does anyone know if flaxseed or evening primrose oil will make your sin extra oily? Does anyone know any other natural supplement I can take? Should I switch to ground flaxseed?
    I would really appreciate the advice, thanks!

    P.S. I googled flaxseed and EPO and the results were excellent. Everyone raved how there skin got wonderfully flawless after using them or one or the other. And only after days too..?

    Evening primrose oil is a supplement that can decrease oil production on your face. Oil production is influenced by hormones, so balancing those hormones will naturally lead to less oil. Evening primrose oil balances those hormones in women.
