We have all been advised by our doctors to always take our vitamins without fail. But what about applying vitamins topically? Yes, that’s very much a thing. Using Vitamins in medium concentration on your face can be very beneficial to your skin. One of the most favoured vitamins for the face is Vitamin E. It is said to contain many skin replenishing qualities that will help keep the skin moisturised and glowing. Here are the benefits and directions on how to use Vitam E on your face!
Benefits of Vitamin E in skincare
- Moisturise- One of the main benefits of Vitamin E on the face is that it moisturises your skin without clogging it. As it moisturises your skin, it makes it brighter.
- Anti-ageing- Vitamin E is an antioxidant by nature and when used topically, can really aid in slowing down the development of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Soothing- If you have noticed, most of the anti-inflammatory cosmetic products contain Vitamin E. There is a reason for that. Vitamin E is really gentle on your skin and helps soothe damaged skin and repair it over time. It truly is a miracle product
How to apply Vitamin E on your face!
There are several ways you can use Vitamin E on your face. Here are some of the safe ways to do it:
- Vitamin E oil+ moisturiser- This is one of the easiest ways to incorporate Vitamin E in your skincare. Mix 2 drops of Vitamin E oil with your regular night-time moisturiser and apply it on your face.
- Vitamin E in face masks- If your skin needs a quick pick-me-up, a mask is the best way to go about it. But some masks can leave your skin feeling dry and stretchy. To counteract the drying effects, pop open a Vitamin E capsule and add the gel inside the capsule to the face mask. This will leave your skin hydrated and glowing after you remove the face mask.
- Vitamin E as a spot treatment- Acne scars are natural but we could do without them. Use Vitamin E gel as a spot treatment to lighten acne scars. I suggest using it overnight and washing it off in the morning.
- Vitamin E as a massage gel- Add vitamin E to your regular massage gel for that extra boost of hydration. Additionally, you can also make your own massage gel by mixing aloe vera gel and Vitamin E oil.
