Vitamin E Mask

Vitamin E is the generic name for “tocopherol” and is available in four different forms. It is a fat
soluble antioxidant, which can be obtained only as a food supplement. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that serves as an antioxidant, protecting the body from damage due to free radicals. Free radicals harm the body on a cellular level, leading to some conditions relating to aging. This is particularly true of the skin, where free radicals can cause wrinkles, lines and age spots. As a result, vitamin E can help protect the skin from these common signs of aging.

Benefits of Vitmain E:

• It protects the skin from environmental pollution
• It has a protecting action against UV radiation – although it cannot be classed as a sunscreen
• It is an excellent moisturiser
• It contains powerful anti-inflammatory action – and this can prevent the signs of premature ageing, as inflammatory conditions in the skin is a leading cause of skin ageing
• It has excellent wound healing properties

Apart from all of these excellent qualities, vitamin E also enhances and helps with the penetration of other compounds into the skin and is itself well absorbed by human skin.

Where to get vitamin E?

The best way to get sufficient amounts of vitamin E is through the food you eat. Vegetable oils, seeds, green leafy vegetables and nuts are all excellent sources of vitamin E. While the unprocessed option is typically considered the healthiest, foods that are made from these products can also contain vitamin E. Supplements can also be a good source of vitamin E.

Creams and lotions made with the vitamin can be applied topically. Topical vitamin E creams help decrease the roughness of skin, the depth of wrinkles, and the length of facial lines. While studies on humans still need to be done, studies on rodents have shown that vitamin E may reduce the risk of UV-induced skin cancer.
