How does Vitamin E Help?
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, or a substance that helps prevent damage to cells. Because vitamin E comes in oil form, it’s also a powerful moisturizer. Vitamin E helps regulate and improve the body’s ability to use other vitamins, increasing your health and immunity. Better overall health means healthier skin that is more able to repair itself. How Do I Use Vitamin E? If you’re using vitamin E to help treat a scar, you want to keep a healthy dose in your daily diet as well as apply it topically. Start by gently washing and drying the scar area. Pour a little vitamin E oil, or moisturizer containing vitamin E, onto your fingers. Using a circular motion, rub the oil into the problematic scar. Rub the oil in well to make sure the skin absorbs as much as possible.
