Benefits To Using Vitamin E Oil

By Alison Addy

Vitamin E or Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes in many different forms. In addition, it's an antioxidant that protects the cells in our body from free radicals and their effect on our skin. Free radicals cannot only damage our skin, but they can also lead to cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Research has been taking place to determine if Vitamin E can help prevent these diseases. Vitamin E usually comes in the form of capsules, gels and oils. While the capsules are ingested and swallowed, the gels and oils are applied directly to the skin like lotion.

Vitamin E oil is very good for our skin. You will find Vitamin E oil in most cosmetics, but unfortunately, most cosmetic companies add other ingredients and additives such as glycerides to the Vitamin E oil so it is only about 18-20% pure. Many of the face creams and anti-aging lotions you see on the market today are advertised as being rich in Vitamin E oil. The most natural forms of Vitamin E oil come from vegetable oils such as soy, corn or canola oils. Vitamin E oil will have a negative reaction if it is exposed to oxygen or heat. This is why most manufactures recommend keeping containers tightly closed and in a cool dry place.

Benefits of Vitamin E oil

Vitamin E oil is also known as tocopherol. Because Vitamin E oil is so good for our skin, you may have seen the word "tocopherol" on many health and skin care products and not realized they were referring to Vitamin E oil. Vitamin E oil is excellent for or skin whether it's ingested or applied directly to our skin. In most cases, topical use is the most common. Our skin is abused in many ways such as stretch marks, bruising and over exposure to the sun. Applying Vitamin E oil directly to our skin has been claimed to be very beneficial. It's recommended to aid in the elasticity of our skin as well as to help remove stretch marks and discoloration. Many women that formerly suffered from stretch marks swear by the effectiveness of Vitamin E oil.

Vitamin E oil for skin care

Because Vitamin E oil neutralizes the harmful affects of free radicals in the body, it helps us to have smoother and younger looking skin. Many women take Vitamin E supplements or rub Vitamin E oil on their body daily. Many anti-aging products on the market boast of their Vitamin E or Vitamin E oil content in the product.

Although taking iron is recommended for many people, iron supplements are known to decrease the level of absorption of Vitamin E. For this reason, they should not be taken together without consulting with your doctor. This is not the case if it is Vitamin E oil you are using on your body.
