adminHELLO there, everyone. I hope you are well this week. I am coping . . . I am really not good during the hot weather, but I hear it is necessary, so okay.
I have had several ladies asking me on the benefits of Vitamin E oil. I must say my experience with Vitamin came when I was forced to use it on my scars, etc, after my car accident and it worked beautifully. But of course to answer you adequately, I had to do my research. So this is what I found . . .
Pure Vitamin E oil is extremely versatile. Vitamin E oil promotes healing and is an active ingredient in many products available for skin and nails. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant that prevents premature aging. It should be incorporated into a daily diet. Vitamin E oil can be purchased at any drug or grocery store in either liquid or capsule form. Capsules can be punctured to release the oil for topical application. Strong food sources of Vitamin E are vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.
For those who ask me how to deal with wrinkles, this is an excellent product for that. Wrinkles come from age, free radical damage, improper skin care and poor habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol in excess or harsh make-up use.
According to the book “Healing with Vitamins: the Most Effective Vitamin and Mineral Treatments for Everyday Health Problems and Serious Disease,” Vitamin E oil prevents the formation of wrinkles by blocking free radical damage. It treats wrinkles by boosting collagen production, a connective tissue that keeps skin elastic. Vitamin E oil also treats wrinkles by supporting new skin cell growth and speeding up cell regeneration.
May I add here that if you have oily skin already, Vitamin E oil for external use may not be good for you. It may cause you to break out in pimples, like I did even though you will have beautiful soft skin. So your best bet will be to use Vitamin E that can be consumed internally.
Vitamin E oil provides the skin with necessary moisture as well as antioxidants for intense healing. However, pure Vitamin E oil is not ideal as a daily moisturiser because it is so thick and sticky.
An intense Vitamin E oil bedtime therapy is ideal for concentrated skin healing and preservation. Combine Vitamin E oil with olive oil for smooth application and added therapy. Olive oil contains oleic acid, which makes skin more permeable and able to hold in necessary moisture.
For scars — Scar tissue is stubborn skin that comes from burns, old wounds and surgeries. Pure Vitamin E oil is helpful for scar healing and prevention because it goes beneath the surface of skin to block free radicals. Free radicals are especially harmful to scar tissue because they prohibit healing. The strong antioxidant power in Vitamin E also aids in collagen production, which gives skin its elasticity and is not present in scar tissue.
Spots on the skin are caused by aging or acne, free radical damage and poor liver function. Vitamin E oil prevents and repairs free radical damage. When applied topically to brown spots on the skin, it helps to lighten and smooth the rough skin by lubricating cell membranes and encouraging cell regeneration. You must be careful though when you use Vitamin E, to avoid the sun, because for some reason the skin tends to burn. I experienced this after my accident, after using vitamin E for a month, my scars were clearing and my skins softening. But as soon as I started going into the sun again, within days I noticed I had gone a shade darker, and it continued that way until I stopped using Vitamin E.
Having spoken to several people who swear by the use of Vitamin E, they too stated that their skin got a shade darker after they exposed themselves to the sun. So be careful.
Another thing Vitamin E is good for is an effective treatment for dry, cracked cuticles. Applying a few drops of Vitamin E oil to nails and cuticles helps to rehydrate and smooth them as well as prevent future cracks, same goes for cracked heels, hands and the like. A helpful hint here is that I find putting Vitamin E directly on the skin can be a bit too much. So I mix it into my favourite moisturiser and this makes all the difference.
Well, that is it from me, folks, have a wonderful week.
