How is vitamin E good for your skin?
Vitamin E is an important nutrient that can support the performance of many organs. This substance also has antioxidant effects that can slow down body cells from damage. Even so, the benefits of Vitamin E supplements that have been linked to skin and fertility still need further research.
Commonly Known Benefits of Vitamin E
1. Wrinkles
Surely you have often seen various anti-aging creams or supplements that contain Vitamin E as antioxidants. Antioxidants are indeed excellent in the world of beauty because it is said to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Some studies have found the benefits of antioxidants for health. But the benefits of anti-aging Vitamin E in supplement form have not been proven.
2. Sunburned skin
Eating or applying Vitamin E alone has not really been proven to prevent your skin from burning after exposure to sunlight.
3. Scars after surgery
Some studies have found that applying Vitamin E cannot reduce postoperative scars. Further research is still needed regarding the benefits of Vitamin E in used surgical wounds.
4. Red and itchy skin (eczema)
Taking Vitamin E has not shown an effective effect in treating the condition of eczema sufferers.
5. Skin cancer (melanoma)
There are not enough strong scientific results to prove the effects of Vitamin E can prevent melanoma skin cancer.
