Vitamin E for your Hair and Skin

What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. It helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health. It’s an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment.

Vitamin E helps reduce UV damage to skin done by sun exposure. After a certain age, vitamin E levels in skin are drastically reduced. It is usually found in green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, seafood, and fruits. Vitamin E supplements are prescribed when your body is, for some reason, unable to absorb the nutrient from your regular diet. Topical application of Vitamin E can be in the form of an oil extract used on your skin and in your hair for growth and nourishment.
