My Husband and I have had good
experiences with Vitamin E oil. When he was younger he had a hot
water radiator accident. When the cap was removed all the gushing hot
water came rushing out and shot up and burned him on his shoulder.
He used Vitamin E oil on the burn and you could never tell that he
was ever burned there.
My experience with Vitamin E oil has
been great. This previous summer I burned my hand really bad when I
was cooking. I was nervous to cook for a couple of weeks after it
happened. My first response was cold water and sleeping with my hand
in a bucket of ice. The area that got burned turned black. I put
Vitamin E oil on the burn day and nite. I wrapped the burn in an ace
bandage. I do not have any marks on my hand from the burn and I am
very thankful for the Vitamin E.
Vitamin E was discovered in 1922. It
received its name in 1924 and the scientific name is tocopherol.
Vitamin E is a fat soluble nutrient that acts like an antioxidant in
the human body. Synthetic versions have been found to be ½ effective, that was found in research.
If you have a problem with cold sores
Vitamin E is good for preventing them. I can't speak from experience
with this because I don't get cold sores but there have been studies
done and people have reported relief by using Vitamin E oil. It can
also be used as a lip balm to keep your lips smooth and crust free.
Vitamin E oil can also be used on your face if you don't have overly
oily skin. It helps with small lines and crows feet.
Vitamin E oil can be used for sunburns.
Many sunscreens have Vitamin E as an ingredient. I can testify to
this after a few days of desert fun. I was so red and my skin was on
fire. I was Vitamin Eeeeed up and very shiny. It really did help
soothe the pain of the burn and I could walk without the owie, owie,
owie. It can also provide protection from more sun exposure or
prevent from getting a sun burn all together. The Vitamin E is
absorbed by the epidermis layer of the skin and heals the damage by the
Ultra Violet Radiation.
For dry skin, Vitamin E prevents water
loss from the skin and helps with retaining natural moisture. You can
re- invent your dry skin and make it look healthy and well
moisturized. Vitamin E helps with the production of two important
protein components collagen and elastin. Improving the skins
elasticity. While this process is taking place the Vitamin E is
softening the skin as well. This reduces the visibility of age spots
and troubling lines and wrinkles. Vitamin E is a main ingredient in
many anti-aging creams and lotions on the market. It can also be used
on different type of scars (including pimple scars). It will do this
by lightning up the scar or mark left behind by the injured area
and/or pimples. The scar will continue to fade over time. Vitamin E
speeds up the process of regeneration of skin cells and are replaced with
new ones. This helps get rid of the scar tissue.
There is relief for itchy stretch marks
from Vitamin E oil. You can also prevent stretch marks and if you
already have them just apply the Vitamin E oil to get rid of them. It
helps the targeted area grow new skin cells and helps restore natural
elastic properties. Vitamin E oil can help skin conditions such as:
Psoriasis and Eczema. The antioxidants in Vitamin E bring down the
inflammation in the skin.
