Vitamin E strengthens the skin barrier. It absorbs easily into the skin and protects the top and middle layers, repairing damage caused by exposure to the sun or pollution.
PROTECTION
Free radicals occur as a natural part of breaking down food into energy, but also artificial factors such as UV light, cigarette smoke, and pollution. They have been linked to health issues, including skin aging and inflammation. Vitamin E helps neutralize these free radicals that can cause premature aging and damage to the skin.
CONDITIONING
Vitamin E is a natural skin conditioner. It stops the skin from losing moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and smoother. It reduces the appearance of scars, and when combined with Vitamin C, it can treat dark patches on the skin. Because of its conditioning powers, Vitamin E does a good job of combating dry, itchy skin anywhere on the body.
CLEANSING
Like other natural oils, Vitamin E (listed as either tocopherol or trocotrienol) cleans dirt and other impurities from pores.
