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.
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!
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.

My skin is SO dry in this cold winter air, I would definitely use that to moisturize my skin!

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!

It’s STILL the best stuff for scars. Even our surgeon recommended it after my husband had his back surgery. So I always have a bottle in the house.
