From where does the skin get a good dose of Vitamin E?
Rachit: Many ingredients that are recommended for skin care, such as Aloe Vera, Almond, Sunflower, Papaya, etc. are good sources of Vitamin E. There are a lot of options for sunscreens, moisturizers, and serums available. One would need to check the ingredients and choose the product that has a good potency of Vitamin E in it.
Also, look for products that are chemical-free and made with natural ingredients, this reduces the chance of damaging the skin and will result in a long-lasting effect.
Vitamin E has the power to protect your skin from aging and from free radicals, but one must find the product that suits your skin the best. One might need to opt for different products and compositions according to varied weather conditions as the skin reacts differently to a change in weather.
