Nuts have enormously high ratio of omega6 to omega3 and should not be eaten
in large quantities.
I was on a raw vegan diet for 5 years, eating lots of avocado and nuts  every
day.
I ended up with very dry skin when before my skin had been fine.

I also wouldn't recommend eating nuts and avocados as  away of dealing with
dry skin.
