WHAT ARE THE VITAMIN E BENEFITS FOR SKIN?
Vitamin E isn’t one of those buzzworthy, tough-to-pronounce ingredients that just burst on the beauty scene. It’s been around forever, so it’s easy to forget just how amazing it is for your skin. We’re big fans of vitamin E in our body lotions and hand soaps.
It’s what dry skin craves.A natural moisturizer, it’s a go-to for people with itchy, rough skin. Don’t go into winter hibernation without it.
It’s a handy hydrator. Your hands go through a lot – typing, texting, cooking, driving, etc. Give them some love with vitamin E, known for its skin-hydrating and nourishing power.
It softens and smooths. All those antioxidants help keep skin silky soft and protect it from the elements.
