Looking for smooth, supple skin and less marked dark circles? We have the secret ingredient: Vitamin E. Less well known than its sisters (Vitamins A, C or D), it is nevertheless just as indispensable to our body. Discover the virtues and benefits of Vitamin E on the skin.
Vitamin E, also known as the “Beauty Vitamin”, is indispensable to our body. It helps to protect our body from certain diseases. In addition to its therapeutic virtues, it also has many beauty benefits for our skin.
Vitamin E, our skin’s true ally
Vitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant and protects our skin cells from ageing. It captures and neutralises the free radicals present in our body, which are known to cause premature skin ageing.
It helps to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that keeps the epidermis supple and smooth.
Vitamin E also helps to regenerate the skin by deeply moisturising it. This vitamin is ideal for repairing the skin after a sunburn or relieving eczema for example.
Vitamin E against dark circles
Vitamin E is known to reduce dark circles. Indeed, these can be due to many factors: tiredness, stress, poor diet or can also be hereditary. This vitamin moisturizes the sensitive skin of this part of the face and improves blood circulation, which is responsible for the dark colour of dark circles.
Where can we find it?
Vitamin E is present in many foods: whole grains, olives, avocado, oilseeds, butter and egg yolk. It is found in large quantities in oils such as sunflower, hazelnut and rapeseed oil.
Remember to keep these foods away from light as Vitamin E is sensitive to it and can alter its virtues.
In addition to food, certain cosmetic active ingredients such as Shea Butter and Sweet Almond oil are naturally rich in Vitamin E.
Our Shea Anti-Aging Day Lotion and Shea Foot Cream contain Vitamin E for its antioxidant and moisturising properties, leaving the skin soft, smooth and perfectly moisturized.
