Benefits of Vitamin E

The first thing that hits the mind of any women about Vitamin E is "Beauty and Skin care” Vitamin E, also known as alpha-tocopherol, is considered to be a wonderful natural drug. It is extremely beneficial for proper nourishment and development of healthy skin, hair and health.

Regular application of vitamin E oil on the skin improves the texture of the skin and helps to get rid of various skin problems. Vitamin E oil not only provides the required moisture to the skin, but the presence of antioxidants in it facilitates the healing process in case of an injury. Olive oil, on account of it containing oleic acid, makes the skin more permeable to retain moisture. This oil when mixed with equal amounts of vitamin E oil is most suited for application during bedtime.

Vitamin E oil is a ‘universal cleanser’ as it suits all skin types. Dirt, grime, dead cells and debris that get accumulated on the top layer of the face, make it look dull and tired. Applying a few drops of this oil on a cotton ball and wiping the face with it twice a day has a deep cleansing effect on the skin, thereby imparting it a radiant glow.
