Skincare Benefits of Vitamin E

Topical products containing Vitamin E (tocopherol), a fat-soluble vitamin, is among the most popular staples in skincare because of it's antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory property. Here are some of the perks of having Vitamin E in your skincare routine:

1. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E helps maintain and repair damages caused by harmful free radicals from the foods we eat, air pollution, and the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. The said factors can, in the long run, lead to premature aging if not mitigated.

2. Acne is a serious cosmetic problem to a majority of people, particularly those in their teenage years. As 2020 rolled out and people have to wear face masks to protect themselves from the pandemic Covid-19, acne is ever more rampant. Vitamin E, with it's anti-inflammatory and cell repair capability helps clear off pimples.

3. Vitamin E applied topically on the face lighten the appearance of  scars, blemishes, and pimple marks as it aids in cellular regeneration.

4. Furthermore, Vitamin E smoothens the complexion, and helps moisturize the skin which is wonderful for people with dry skin type.

You might have seen that in skincare, the duo of Vitamins E and C is quite common. This is with merit considering the presence of Vitamin C significantly boosts skin absorption of Vitamin E.
