Five Reasons to Use Vitamin E Oil Right Now

Yum

February 25, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 17 Comments

Disclaimer

At my age, you start to finally listen to all those things people have been telling you for years…”Always wash your face…,” “Use moisturizer…,” and “Don’t forget to wear sunscreen.” You go through tons of products, supplements and such, then realize it’s really not that complicated…One of my newest “discoveries” on a recent trip to CVS/pharmacy was the positive benefits of Vitamin E oil.

CVS-Platinum-MamaChallenge


Vitamin E is an antioxidant, supports immune function and helps support cardiovascular health. Vitamin E is naturally found on the outermost skin surface, where it contributes to antioxidant support.  While this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and should only be taken with your doctor’s approval, for around $10 a bottle, it’s one of the best miracle finds I’ve found for my epidermis!

Vitamin-E-CVS-MamaChallenge

1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize:
Vitamin E helps to retain your skin’s natural moisture while it makes that winter skin look healthy. If you have dry skin, Vitamin E oil can help your skin get back to his normal balance. Use it on your face, your arms and even your nails to help combat those cracked nails and cuticles.

2. Scars Remover:
I have tons of scars and have been told over and over, you just need to learn to live with them. However, Vitamin E oil has been known to help soften the skin around some scars and bruises, then lighten them after repeated use. By assisting in the process of regeneration of skin cells (that antioxidant quality back at work), the old cells are replaced with new ones thus removing the scar tissue. I’ve just started using Vitamin E oil on my scars, but so far it’s about 90% less expensive than other ointments so I’m willing to wait it out to see how effective it can be.

3. Sunburn Relief:
I’ve admitted to my poor decisions of sunbathing when I was young (Crisco is NOT the right oil to put on your skin FYI), but now I know that it was Vitamin E oil I should have used afterwards when I had sunburns. Healing the damage caused by UV rays and the pain, Vitamin E oil is a key ingredient in many sunscreen brands to help protect your skin to prevent the suburns, too.

4. Get Rid of the Eczema Itch:
Eczema runs in the family and all of the Reos at one time or another have big issues with redness, dryness and bumps that come with it. When you use Vitamin E oil, its antioxidant effects help to decrease the inflammation as well as helps to relieve the itchiness while preventing those big episodes that come with eczema.

5. Get Rid of Stretch Marks:
You can tell me all day long that stretch marks are just the love marks to remind you that you created a life inside of you. However, if you gave me a choice, I think I’d get the same warm and fuzzy with a necklace than the road map that my children made of my abdomen. So like scars you can use Vitamin E oil to help lighten those scars, but even more so, you can apply the oil while you’re pregnant to not just prevent stretch marks but also to relieve the dry, itchy reaction.

    I too was a sun goddess when I was a teen and sadly experienced sun poisoning a few times. Boy is that painful! I’ve heard that Vitamin E is great for the skin, even topically but haven’t continued using it. Thanks for the reminder!

Fancy Schmancy. This month’s @torchystacos Taco Fancy Schmancy.

This month’s @torchystacos Taco of the Month is this beut: she’s full of eggs, smoked salmon, pickled onions, capers, chopped dill, and the herb cream cheese. And yes she’s fancy but oh so good and worth the splurge.

Paired with a side of queso and change out the chips for chicharrones with that white queso (and maybe a Paloma), and you’re golden.

Today on @wfaagmt I shared how to make the most of those leftovers and old vegetables and fruits! The kitchen smells so good with an apple tarte tartin, truffles, potato chips, broth, banana bread, and this cilantro green sauce! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Taken from @beardfoundation:

INGREDIENTS

1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro stems (from 1 bunch of cilantro)
1⁄2 cup olive oil or neutral oil, such as organic canola or grapeseed
1⁄2 tsp ground cumin

DIRECTIONS

In a blender or the mixing cup of a small food processor or immersion blender, combine the vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Swirl a few times to dissolve the salt. Add the stems, olive oil, and cumin — puree. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

We normally head to the mountains at Christmas time, but this year we’re just happy to celebrate Christmas healthy and together with lots of wonderful trips around home including to the @gaylordtexan. So we broke from our matching plaid instead with this mom/daughter snowflake set from @shinestythreads. Most their stuff is exactly what you need to dominate the Christmas sweater game, our little bit of cheesy (cue “Let it Go...”) but came out too sweet not to share. (When they’re this age, you take it when you get it!)

Shinesty is the resource for all the holidays apparel and even does free returns! Save their page for when you need to be the talk of the party (online and in person.)

I love celebrating our holiday traditions, but this year we made a new one! I’ve always wanted to see Christmas lights by carriage ride and this year we made it happen by surprising the girls! 

We spent the night looking at beautiful houses, drinking hot chocolate under the blankets and hearing some of the best commentary from the girls!

🐴 There are several different carriage ride companies (we used Whitehaven Carriages) that drive through Deerfield and Highland Park with multiple types of carriages (there’s even a Cinderella) for varying prices starting around $175+. 

🐴While rides reserve quickly, you might be able to find some after the holidays! If not, put this in the calendar for next year because it’s a must do!

(I’ve shared some of it on Instastories!)

Deadlines start today fast and being in those long lines might be the worst part of Christmas. However, I shared some tips  on @wfaagmt on how you can avoid feeling like a Grinch when it comes to shipping. 🙌🏻

Here are some tips you might not know before you get in line: 

🎁 The big three all have pick up at your house, by going online and scheduling for pick up @ups, @usps.official and @fedex.

Did you know that several stores actually have shipping inside? 
🎁Some Ace Hardware stores @acehardware and local Eliott’s Hardware
🎁 @Staples - they have all the supplies for you to box it up (and I have a coupon in my Instastories!)
🎁 CVS ships UPS
🎁 Heading to those third party parcel stores can definitely save you some time.

Ship to Store is a huge way to get the item delivered quicker to you or to have sent. 
🎁 Get your @amazon sent to an Amazon Locker  or @wholefoods for shipping and pick up! 
🎁 @target - drive through pick up with the App 
🎁 @Walmart - just launched a new service called Walmart+ which is like Amazon Prime where you can get it. (Try it free now!) 

Last-minute shipping?
🎁 While you might not want to pay for those last-minute shipping services, if you use @rakuten you can save money on your purchase so then it still can be affordable for your budget. (I have already racked up a $600 cash back check just for using Rakuten - head to my profile to get a link to get $20 back when you use it! (It’s FREE!)
