sadoer vitamin E body lotionWhat does vitamin E do for your skin? Applying vitamin E to your skin helps protect delicate skin from damage due to its antioxidant properties. It's also extremely hydrating – it's both a 'humectant' and an 'emollient' – so it helps your skin absorb water and traps it within the skin too.Vitamin E is most commonly known for its benefits for skin health and appearance. It can be applied topically to your face to reduce inflammation and make your skin look younger. Many people also swear by the effects of topical vitamin E when it's applied to the face overnight.To incorporate it into your skin care routine, look for products that contain vitamin E. Labels typically list it as tocopherol or tocotrienol. Moisturizers with as little as 0.1% can improve vitamin E levels in skin. Even better are products that include both vitamin C and E.
