There are real legends about the rejuvenating and moisturizing properties of nutrients and mineral supplements. One of the most popular of them is vitamin E for the face, which in its pure form will help reduce wrinkles, pores and other problems of the epidermis.
Benefits and harms
Vitamin E or tocopherol is a liquid oil solution for facial skin that is used in professional cosmetology and at home. One of the distinctive features of this product is that tocopherol is a natural antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals, which under its influence are removed from the body through the excretory system.
What else Vitamin E is useful:
- This is a deeply moisturizing element, and, unlike glycerin, it does not suck moisture from the deep layers of the skin, but takes it from the environment and saves fluid consumption on the surface of the epidermis;
- Thanks to its good regenerative properties, it helps against acne, blackheads, wounds, enlarged pores, etc. This solution is one of the few that can be used even for damage to the spinous layer of the epidermis;
- Antioxidant properties help get rid of wrinkles, age spots and other age-related changes;
- The product has a positive effect on cell metabolism;
- Tocopherol can be used for any skin: oily, sensitive, dry. It normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands; if you strictly follow the course of treatment, in the end you can become the owner of an ideal, normal face;
- But the main advantage of the product is that it is hypoallergenic (in most cases). It can be used at night as a cream or mask, or mixed with your usual personal care products.
Many pregnant and lactating girls are interested in whether it is possible to smear vitamin E on the face and whether it will affect the health of mother and baby. It is believed that this is one of the most beneficial compounds for women. It can be used at any age for the treatment and restoration of hair, face, nails, taken internally and even added to food.

How to use
Perhaps the most varied uses of vitamin E: it can be added to creams, tonics, and water for washing. For example, to cleanse your eyes of makeup and restore eyelashes, you can mix castor oil and tocopherol. Gently wipe the eyelash line with the solution and a cotton pad. This will help not only remove makeup residue, but also significantly accelerate the growth of eyelashes, making them thicker and darker.
It is worth noting that the use of vitamin E for the face varies depending on its form. It can be sold in pharmacies in ampoules, capsules and solution (bottle). Mainly, the difference lies in the proportions:
- If the product is in ampoules, then one or half the container is taken per use (depending on the specific recipe);
- If it’s in a bottle (for example, “EKOlab” Alpha), then most often you need to measure 5 grams with a pipette;
- Use in capsules is the most labor-intensive: you need to open it or heat it and dissolve it in warm water. Then you get a dilute solution of tocopherol. One mask will require at least 3 capsules.

Vitamin E masks
The simplest way to use vitamin E to treat facial skin is to add glycerin to it (the proportions are equal) and apply in its pure form. This deeply moisturizing composition will help quickly eliminate flaking and dry skin, restoring its elasticity and softness. Repeat every day before bed.
A very useful nourishing face mask in autumn and winter is made with vitamin E and honey. You need to heat two tablespoons of sweets in a water bath, add an ampoule of the solution to it and rub the mixture into the epidermis in a circular motion. The effect will be noticeable after half an hour. After rinsing off, your face will become smoother and cleaner, and your pores will tighten. After a month's course, wrinkles and age spots will noticeably decrease.
The mask has excellent reviews with vitamin E and coconut oil for face. The ether will help restore elasticity, and the vitamin will moisturize the damaged epidermis. Half an ampoule is used per spoon of coconut. Rub into problem areas and leave overnight. Repeat every other day. You can use olive oil instead of coconut.
All the beneficial effects of tocopherol are noticeably enhanced when combined with other vitamins. For example, you can add tocopherol acetate (A) to it, then you get a rejuvenating mixture. It can be used on the neck and décolleté. It provides an immediate double effect:
- The epidermis “receives a signal” about the need for enhanced collagen production;
- There is increased hydration of all layers, which promotes leveling.
You can wipe your face with this liquid solution in the morning and evening, like a tonic. The main thing is not to apply cosmetics afterwards: foundation together with oil products can clog pores.

An ampoule of solution is added to the mass. Apply the mixture on the face, apply in an even thick layer, rinse only after complete drying.
If wearing such a mask add protein, then it will demonstrate not only stunning cleansing properties, but also an intense lifting effect. Only the transparent part is taken from a chicken egg, thoroughly beaten and poured into the mass described in the previous recipe. Use twice a week.
