Beauty & Therapeutic Benefits
Face Mask: I used to apply it directly to my face as a mask and wash it after a couple of minutes. It used to give a healthy glow to the skin.
Hair & nail care: Similarly VItamin E could be applied directly to nails and hair. For hair, you need to dilute it with a base oil as it will help in absorption. It strengthens the roots, nourishes the scalp and hair. It can be used by adults and children both.
Excellent face cream: There are many fancy face serums and cream that claims to be enriched with VItamin E. You can make an excellent face cream at home without digging a hole in your pocket. Apply it as you usually do & see the changes.
Dietary Supplement: Although there are vitamin-rich foods that one can consume, sometimes it is not possible to obtain the required amount from the diet alone. This is where we need a good dietary supplement to bridge the gaps in our diet.
I have religiously taken Vitamin E supplement throughout both my pregnancies in addition with iron and calcium. I consulted my gynecologist to know if they can be taken with the pregnancy supplements. They can even be combined with Vitamin C without any side effects.
