What does vitamin E do for your skin!

Vitamin E has been hailed as one of the most promising skincare ingredients. So what does it do and how does it benefit your skin? Here’s what you can expect when you use vitamin E on your skin.

Protects skin barrier

Vitamin E is one of the most nourishing skincare ingredients that helps strengthen your skin barrier. What is the skin barrier? You know that the skin is made up of different layers. And each layer has a unique function. On of the outermost layer, known as the stratum corneum, is the skin barrier. Think of it as a wall that keeps the impurities out and prevents loss of moisture from your skin. This barrier keeps your skin hydrated. A damaged skin barrier can cause dry, itchy, or flaky skin. Vitamin E aids in sealing small cracks in your skin that can allow moisture to escape. It’s simple; a healthy skin barrier equals plump, hydrated skin!

Provides intense moisturization

Not only does vitamin E prevent moisture loss, but it also can deliver up to 16 hours of hydration. It is a boon for dry, flaky skin as it prevents as well as treats it with utmost care. One of the top benefits of skincare products that contain vitamin E is longer-lasting moisture retention. This level of moisturization is what keeps your skin soft and supple without any premature signs of ageing. Put it on dry, patchy skin and watch your skin transform!

Speeds healing and reduces scaring 

Ever wondered why some skincare products visibly reduce acne scars and marks faster? It's because they contain vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to speed up skin healing and reduces scaring too. This antioxidant-rich ingredient treats skin injuries, irritation and sunburn as well. Since it is rich in antioxidants, it accelerates the healing process of your skin. That makes it easy to combat sun burns, free radical damage and so much more. 

Combats inflammation

Pollution and sun damage making your skin inflamed? No worries, for skin-soothing vitamin E is just what you need. People with eczema or psoriasis benefit from including vitamin E into their skincare routine. The anti-inflammatory and deep nourishing properties of this ingredient help manage swelling, redness, irritation and inflammation. Those who suffer from acne know how it can cause inflammation that hampers skin texture and tone. Vitamin E, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, is a great match for acne-prone skin.

Controls sun damage

This vitamin has photo-protective properties, the ability to absorb harsh energy from ultraviolet (UV) rays. This aids in keeping the skin safe from sun damage and sunburn. Vitamin E is rich in antioxidants. It battles the effects of free radicals. Vitamin C also works as a sun-damage protectant, limiting UV exposure that hampers collagen production. Together, these vitamins create a potent layer to be applied under your sunscreen, providing high levels of sun protection. 

Prevents and minimizes signs of ageing

Vitamin E is considered as the 'first-level-defense' for your skin. It accelerates collagen production. And as you know, collagen keeps your skin plump, smooth and youthful. This vitamin aids in minimizing as well as overturn fine lines, age spots and wrinkles. Since vitamin E provides intense moisturization, it prevents dry skin which accelerates signs of ageing.
