f you haven't heard about Vitamin E and the benefits associated with incorporating this vital antioxidant into your skincare regime (as well as your diet) then, get comfy and keep reading.
What Is Vitamin E?
Vitamin E is an antioxidant found mostly in high-fat foods. It is one of the four fat-soluble vitamins which are essential in maintaining good health and youthful looking skin, alongside Vitamins A, D and K.
Having a good balance of Vitamin E incorporated into your diet most certainly assists your skin health, but to really penetrate the skin deeply and achieve beautiful, youthful looking skin it's highly recommended to apply Vitamin E topically as well. This can be in the form of Vitamin E oils, creams and/or serums.
Why Is It Important To Apply Vitamin E Topically?
Vitamin E is the most powerful of all the antioxidants used in skincare - consider it your most effective option in significantly slowing down the ageing process.
Antioxidants' main role in skincare is to fight free radicals and protect your cells from oxidative damage - sounds important but you're probably wondering what free radicals and oxidative damage are, right?
Free radicals can be produced externally from many substances, including air pollutants, fried foods, alcohol, pesticides, and tobacco smoke. Studies show that free radicals have negative effects on ageing skin, and we need antioxidants to help fight against these negative effects.
Our bodies are capable of naturally producing some antioxidants and prevent oxidative damage, but the amount produced is insufficient for our exposure to free radicals in our modern, everyday life. When there is an imbalance between the two (too many free radicals and too few antioxidants), Oxidative stress occurs. We need vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) for its high antioxidant properties to prevent ageing and promote skin health.
Is there more benefits to Vitamin E besides being the best Antioxidant?
- Deeply moisturises skin, thereby reducing itching
- Has anti-inflammatory properties
