Vitamin E Recovery Oil

BENEFITS OF VITAMIN E FOR SKIN

Strengthens skin barrier

Having a strong skin barrier allows your skin to retain water and stay hydrated more easily, and you’ll be able to prevent having dry and dull skin more easily, as well as helping to minimise skin sensitivity.

Powerful antioxidant

Using Vitamin E face cream, or other products that contain antioxidants, help to prevent damage caused by free radicals – these are things such as pollution, and chemicals that attach themselves to your face and weaken your skin elasticity causing skin damage. Antioxidants refers to the process of discouraging the oxidisation of things like oil produced on the skin that turn into blackheads, which is why antioxidants help to give you glowing skin.  They also calm irritation and help to smooth fine lines that are caused by free radicals. 

Hyper-pigmentation treatment

Vitamin E has properties which help to lighten dark spots on your face caused by sun damage, as it has skin repair qualities which target these areas on the surface of your skin.

Increases your resistance to sun over-exposure

Vitamin E absorbs UVB light which is responsible for skin damage and early signs of ageing, such as premature wrinkles. Vitamin E combined with Vitamin C prolongs the amount of time you spend in the sun without SPF protection before skin starts to be affected by it. That said, wearing sun protection every day when you are outside is very important.

Acne scarring

Vitamin E helps with acne scarring due to its skin repair qualities, and its skin- strengthening and skin barrier repair qualities.  It helps to prevent further acne scarring on the skin.

Cell turnover & regeneration

The nutritional value of Vitamin E means it helps to bring new cells to the surface faster, this makes it especially good to have in lip care products as it helps to replenish dry or chapped lips.

Moisturising for dry skin

If a skin barrier is stronger it allows the skin to retain moisture and hydration more easily.  Because Vitamin E promotes a stronger skin barrier, it is very beneficial to keep dry and flaky skin at bay.
