Impact on the body

To understand how vitamin E affects the face and what it is, you need to understand the effective mechanism of this element.

All metabolic processes in our body are carried out with the participation of oxygen cells, which, under the influence negative factors become unstable and transform into free radicals.

Negative factors are:

  • Frequent stress
  • Excessive physical activity
  • Sun rays,
  • Poor nutrition
  • Exhaust gases, etc.

To stabilize their condition, free radicals combine with various elements that are present in the plasma membrane.

As a result, enzymes - enzyme systems are destroyed, which leads to the destruction of cell membranes.

The accumulation of free radicals in cells and tissues prevents DNA from being completely restored, and its damage is recreated in new epithelial cells.

Over time, this leads to their destruction, slowing down the process of tissue regeneration, and eliminating elastin and collagen.

All these processes cause rapid aging of the skin, changes in its color, sagging, formation of pigment spots, malignant tumors, appearance of wrinkles, etc.

It is vitamin E that can prevent the contact of oxygen cells with unsaturated fatty acids of lipids, as well as activate enzyme systems that resist the formation of peroxide compounds.

Due to this, cell membranes are protected from the destructive effects of free radicals.

This natural antioxidant resists the aging of cells and tissues, and also prevents the transformation of healthy cells into malignant ones.

Properties and purpose

And although tocopherol does not have anti-ultraviolet properties, when using skin milk, liquid products, creams with vitamin E, you can effectively resist sunburn and skin irritation.

Vitamin E is especially beneficial for the body if you take vitamins D, A and C at the same time.

Greetings, my dear friends. If there were a competition to identify the most beneficial antioxidant for the skin, tocopherol would be the winner. Believe me, this is a real miracle remedy. That’s why I decided to devote today’s article to how useful vitamin E is for the face and how to use it correctly.

This element is rightfully considered a “miracle medicine”. Tocopherol acts as a natural moisturizer, slows down skin aging, heals sunburn and brightens it. Let's take a closer look at all its advantages.

  1. Acts as a humectant. Vitamin E restores and rejuvenates dehydrated skin. It is better suited for dry and damaged skin. Since she most of all needs to restore lost moisture ( 1 ). If you have normal or oily skin, you should consult a dermatologist. This moisturizer is heavy - it can cause inflammation.
  2. Slows down skin aging. Vitamin E helps the skin produce collagen, which... It stimulates the renewal of epidermal cells. Regular use will help prevent the appearance of new wrinkles ( 2 ).
  3. Treats sunburn. Vitamin E contains antioxidants that neutralize the effects of free radicals caused by ultraviolet radiation. It soothes sunburn ( 3 ).
  4. Brightens dark spots. Free radicals cause hyperpigmentation of the skin. Vitamin E is a fortified source of antioxidants that help reduce skin damage ( 4 ).
  5. Treatment of stretch marks. Vitamin E is beneficial in postpartum period, as it helps reduce stretch marks. Regular use of this oil for stretch marks in combination with gentle rubbing movements has shown good results. The oil will restore skin elasticity and lighten stretch marks ( 5 ).
  6. Makes lips soft. The oil is extremely effective in relieving dryness after a cold or during the cold season ( 6 ).

Vitamin E can be applied as a mask or spot-on. Tocopherol can also be added to nourishing cream. And if you feel very tight skin and don’t have any cream on hand, use oil. That is, if you have a choice of “nothing or oil,” then choose oil. Well, without fish, even cancer is a fish.

However, with long-term use, naturally, a properly selected cream has the best effect on the skin. In addition to water and oil, it contains many useful active ingredients. These substances are selected based on age. If it is 30+, then there are some components, if it is 40+, then there are different ones. It is only found in oil. Therefore, replace creams with oils when daily care I don’t recommend it for the face.

But let's talk about everything in order :)

Reviews from users

Below I present for your consideration reviews from those who use tocopherol in skin care. Study and draw conclusions.

Anna : Serum is great! I use it at night. After application, the skin shines for some time and the stickiness remains, by the morning everything goes away.

Nona : I use this product once a day. I add it to masks and creams. And also oil vitamin E I add to base oil and apply to the skin around the eyes. The composition is easy to apply and quickly absorbed.

Lika : I have problem skin. That's why I often use oil tea tree. I mix it with tocopherol and add this mixture to the masks. The effect is pleasing - there are fewer rashes.

Zoya : I applied liquid vitamin E on the face. Nightmare! Don't repeat my mistake. I clogged all my pores, now I’m struggling with it

Zarina : I've heard a lot about how this vitamin helps against wrinkles. I applied it neat to the skin of my eyelids. In the morning my eyes were swollen, as if they had been bitten by bees.

Svetlanka : I used this product in winter. Well, you know, in the cold season without additional food no way. So I decided to use an oil solution. After it, such a terrible shine appeared. I didn't notice any more effect.

How to use it pure

Tocopherol capsules at home should be used as follows:

  1. It is necessary to first cleanse your face of any remaining makeup. Suitable for this special means, intended for washing - or gel.
  2. The face is moistened with water. Remember that it should not be dry. Filtered water or mineral water without gas is suitable.
  3. Apply the oil to the face and leave for 10 minutes.
  4. Rinse off the product thoroughly and apply moisturizer to your face.

But the use of capsules worries me a little. It's the composition itself that's confusing. The pharmacy sells liquid vitamin E in capsules.

The instructions for use clearly state that the active substance alpha-tocopherol acetate is contained in the oil. Those. to obtain 1 capsule weighing 300 mg, add 100 mg of sunflower oil

For this reason, I do not recommend replacing eyelid care products with vitamin E. This solution is too heavy for thin skin. And if you leave it on overnight, in the morning you will have huge bags under your eyes, just as they say in the reviews.

It's better to make masks with natural oils, which contain vitamin E in its natural form. Because they just contain .

Below are the proportions of tocopherol in oils:

Face masks

A skillfully made face mask with your own hands is sometimes in no way inferior to its industrial counterpart. Firstly, it is made from natural ingredients. Secondly, the cost of such a product is significantly lower than that of purchased products.

Before using such a product, be sure to cleanse your face of any remaining makeup and impurities. Remember that the mask should be applied along the massage lines. And after the time specified in the recipe, you should wash off this cosmetic product. And don’t walk around the apartment like a ghost with a mask. The mask is a heavy product and there is no need to once again stretch the skin down, creating wrinkles.

And one more thing, you need to prepare homemade masks immediately before using them. The fact is that tocopherol is unstable - it breaks down when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, you should not store such cosmetic mixtures. Made, used and done.

Night face mask recipe

This miracle product with a rejuvenating effect contains the following components:

First of all, melt the cocoa butter in a water bath. Then enrich the cooled mass with vitamin and sea buckthorn oil. Ready mixture Apply a thick layer to the eyelid area. Cover these areas of the skin with parchment paper - this should be done so that the product does not spread. You need to keep this mask for about a quarter of an hour.

I recommend making the mask at night. It is better if it is 2-3 hours before bedtime. It is enough to do the procedure a couple of times a week.

Anti-wrinkle cosmetic product

This composition is a tandem and vitamin E. The first component moisturizes the skin and fills fine wrinkles. As a result visible signs skin aging becomes barely noticeable. The second component is already known to us :)

The tandem of glycerin and vitamin E forms a thin film on the skin that prevents moisture evaporation. This duet also helps accelerate the healing of small wounds and eliminates inflammation.

For a miracle remedy you will need 3 ml of glycerin and 1 capsule of tocopherol. The components are mixed and applied to a cleansed face. After half an hour, you need to remove the remaining product. By the way, after such a mask you don’t need to wash your face - just blot off the remaining nutrient mixture.

Mask with a toning effect

To make it, you will need 2 capsules of vitamin E and fresh cucumber. Peel the vegetable and grind the pulp into a pulp (you can use a blender or grater). Then mix the cucumber mass with the contents of the capsules and apply to a cleansed face. After applying this mask, I advise you to lie down, otherwise everything will be in this mixture everywhere. And after 20 minutes, wash your face and cover your face with nourishing cream.

Rejuvenating Blend

Her recipe is:

  • 1 tbsp. spoon ;
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed cucumber juice;
  • 5 drops of tocopherol;
  • cold water.

We dilute white clay with water until a creamy mass is obtained. And we enrich this composition with juice and vitamins. Mix all ingredients thoroughly again. Then apply the product to a cleansed face. Leave it on for a quarter of an hour, then wash it off and cover the skin with moisturizer.

Regular use of vitamin E oil solution (for the skin) can lead to a noticeable improvement in its texture. This remedy also helps get rid of various problems with skin. Read this article to learn about the benefits of vitamin E for your skin.

Whether in oil solution or capsules, vitamin E is extremely beneficial as it makes the skin elastic and reduces the signs of ageing.

One of the main factors that causes significant damage to our skin cells is is exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When it penetrates the skin, it attacks the oxygen molecules present in the cells. As a result, oxygen molecules are converted into free radicals.
Despite the fact that oxygen is an important component for the existence of our life, its free radicals are highly reactive and are toxic in nature. Due to their reactive nature, oxygen free radicals begin attacking proteins, lipids and DNA molecules. The collagen protein present in the skin is responsible for smoothness and elasticity and is destroyed by free radicals. This accelerates the aging process of the skin and leads to problems such as discoloration of the skin, wrinkles, age spots, etc. This may increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Vitamin E oil solution has properties that allow it to provide protection to our skin from all these harmful effects of free radicals.

Properties of vitamin E oil solution.

Vitamin E oil solution is one such oil that is lipid soluble and non-enzymatic. It acts as an antioxidant and prevents the formation of free radicals on skin cells. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. Due to the presence of such important qualities, this oil is very beneficial for the skin. Some common problems skin conditions that can be resolved using vitamin E are:

  • Skin aging

Vitamin E oil has an amazing rejuvenating effect. Lack of a proper skin care regimen, and habits such as overconsumption alcohol and smoking often cause premature signs aging.
The daily use of almond oil promotes the production of two important protein components, namely collagen and elastin, which increases skin elasticity. This in turn reduces the appearance of visible age spots or wrinkles and gives the skin a youthful appearance. Its antioxidant properties further fight the damaging effects of free radicals and minimize the likelihood of new wrinkles appearing. For this reason, vitamin E is used as a key ingredient in many anti-aging creams and lotions.

  • Dry skin

Vitamin E prevents water loss from the surface of the skin and helps it maintain its natural moisture. Thus, it makes dull, dry skin look healthy and well-hydrated. When used to deep clean the pores of dry skin on a regular basis, the oil restores normal balance.

  • Treatment of sunburn

Vitamin E oil is widely used to treat minor burns. At local application, it is easily absorbed into the epidermis layer of the skin, and heals burns caused by ultraviolet radiation. This way you will get relief from pain. It can also protect skin from sun damage. That is why this oil is added to sunscreen lotions of various brands, which improves their quality of sun protection.

  • Heals scars

Vitamin E is useful for removing scars from the skin. When applied on acne scars or any other type of scars caused by wounds, burns, etc., it first softens the skin of the affected area and then lightens the scar within a few weeks. Eventually, the scar will disappear within a few months. Vitamin E accelerates the process of skin cell regeneration and dead, damaged cells are replaced with new ones. Thus, it helps to get rid of scars.

  • Stretch Mark Removal

This oil is just as effective means from stretch marks. Pregnant women should start using an oil solution of the vitamin for the skin of the abdomen and chest. This will not only relieve the itching caused by stretched skin, but also prevent stretch marks from appearing. Those who already have stretch marks should use the oil to get rid of them. It increases the growth of new skin cells in the affected area and also helps restore the natural firmness of the skin. Thus, regular use helps eliminate ugly stretch marks.

  • Any other skin problems?

A number of skin diseases can be treated with the help of vitamin E. Psoriasis is one such ailment where the skin becomes dry, flaky and red spots appear on it. Vitamin E heals the skin and leads to improvement. It can also be used to treat eczema, where its antioxidant properties will help reduce skin inflammation. It also relieves itching and moisturizes dry skin.

For getting maximum effect, you should apply it to your skin twice a day. First time in the morning after a shower, and again at night before bed.
If you have skin conditions, it is recommended to use this oil only after consulting your doctor. This way you will make sure that you are using it correctly. In general, the shelf life of vitamin E oil solution is no more than 3 years, but it may decrease if it is not stored properly. Therefore, in order to preserve its basic properties, it is necessary to store the oil in a place where it is not exposed to high temperature and oxygen.

On average, about 50-70% of the ingested volume is absorbed, which depends on individual characteristics state of the human body.

After entering the bloodstream, the vitamin is captured by lipoproteins contained in the blood plasma and, along with them, is distributed throughout the body. In the event that there are disturbances in protein metabolism, the distribution of tocopherol does not occur. Maximum concentration element is achieved 4 hours after taking the oil solution. During pregnancy, at least 20% of the element passes into the bloodstream of the fetus, and during breastfeeding, some leaves the mother’s body along with breast milk.

The processing of the biologically active substance occurs in the liver to the active components, after which the remains are excreted from the body in the urine through the kidneys and through the intestines along with bile.

Tocopherol: how is it beneficial for facial skin?

For external use of vitamin E, an oil solution is sold in pharmacies and large pharmaceutical chains. Using it to provide competent facial skin care is simple and pleasant. Busy women who lack free time simply apply it to cleansed skin. evening time, using purely as a night cream.

If you have a free hour during the day, we advise you to try masks based on of this solution. Since their ingredients interact with each other, complementing each other, the effect is achieved even faster and is much more pronounced.

Let's figure out why vitamin E is so beneficial for the dermis and epidermis?

The role of tocopherol for facial skin is extremely important and is not exaggerated at all. The first and main effect that this vitamin provides is to give firmness and increase elasticity. Without hitting it enough nutrient into the body, the skin begins to age quickly. It becomes flabby, extremely susceptible to gravitational ptosis, dehydrated and wrinkled.

Even muscle structures cease to be elastic without this important element. Therefore, under the influence of the law of attraction, without proper "recharge" they also start "stretch" to the ground along with the skin. The result is a floating oval of the face, often prematurely.


To keep the skin in good condition, you must consume a sufficient amount of tocopherol orally (daily value). It is 100 mg of the substance per day. It can be found in such quantities in food products, but if you have doubts about the quality of modern products that you purchase in markets or supermarkets, consult your doctor about taking multivitamin and multimineral complexes.

It should be emphasized here that tocopherol is fat-soluble vitamin, the resources of which are constantly present in your body.

Therefore, its persistent excess can also negatively affect your health, like a deficiency. It is not recommended for anyone to take vitamins A and E in their pure form without a prescription.

It will be better for your facial skin if you use tocopherol topically, externally. You can use it as a mask, mixing it with other nourishing ingredients, or apply it instead of a night cream in its pure form. Don't worry - you won't overfeed your skin even if you use the solution on a daily basis. She will only benefit from this. True, you shouldn’t overdo it either - it’s important to calculate the course and stick to it from the beginning.

In addition to a mask with concentrated vitamin E, you can enrich your usual caring cream with its solution. If you drive the entire ampoule of the vitamin into it, you will have to store the resulting product in the refrigerator. It is better to add oil to the original composition of the cream in portions.

What effect can you get?

An oil solution of vitamin E for the face will provide you with the following actions:

To enhance the effect of tocopherol, you can choose a solution of combined vitamins. For example, women highly praise the effect of masks with vitamins C and E. Some prefer to use solutions of retinol and tocopherol, which most harmoniously complement each other from a biological and chemical point of view.

The best recipes for face masks with the addition of tocopherol

We figured out how beneficial vitamin E affects the skin. But how to use it correctly if you are not going to do it in its pure form? Try a vitamin E mask at home! Its preparation and use will not take much effort and time, and the result is guaranteed to please and pleasantly surprise you.

Mask for restoring and nourishing dry skin:

  • Grind a tablespoon of cottage cheese through a sieve to make the mass soft and pliable;
  • Add a little warmed sour cream (quite fatty) so that the mixture turns out plastic and slightly liquid;
  • Add half an ampoule of concentrated vitamin E to the mass (or the contents of several capsules of the drug "Aevit");
  • Apply the resulting composition in a thick layer onto the cleansed and steamed surface of the face;
  • Leave for at least half an hour;
  • Wash off the mask with warm water without soap or other cleansers containing aggressive ingredients.

  • Rinse with warm water without soap.

You can also use ready-made masks, if you have your favorite compositions. Just add a couple of drops of oil (about one teaspoon or coffee spoon) to your usual portion of the skincare product, then stir directly in your hand and apply to prepared, cleansed skin.

It is very useful to use the vitamin to care for the delicate and thin skin of the eyelids. In order not to weigh it down with oil, the solution must be diluted with something. For this purpose, your usual cream or gel for restoring the skin around the eyes will be useful.

You can also use fresh frozen aloe vera gel.

The amount of vitamin E is measured in international units (IU). They most often indicate the vitamin content in foods or vitamin complexes. Daily requirement for vitamin E for women it is 8 IU, during pregnancy - 10 IU, and during breastfeeding - 12 IU. Increased doses of vitamin E are required for women taking hormonal contraceptives. Sometimes the amount of vitamin E is also expressed in milligrams (mg). 1 milligram is equal to approximately 1.3 - 1.4 IU.

Vitamin E can be part of multivitamin complexes, or can be sold separately in the form of an oil solution. (tocopherol acetate) can be purchased at almost any pharmacy. It is available both bottled and in capsule form. Capsules are convenient for internal use - you do not need to calculate the dosage yourself. It is better to take vitamin E orally during or after meals - thanks to the fats contained in food, it is better absorbed by the body. Oil solutions of vitamin E in bottles can be used, for example, to prepare homemade masks or creams, for application to affected areas of the skin.

Vitamin E in food

Vitamin E is found in many foods. Especially rich in it various oils. The tocopherol content in them can be seen in the table:

As can be seen from the table, vegetable oils contain many times more vitamin E than the same butter. That is why in countries where consumption is high of vegetable oils (Spain, Italy, Greece), life expectancy is higher than in countries where the basis of nutrition is animal fats.

In addition to oils, natural sources of vitamin E are: wheat germ, grains, Brussels sprouts and broccoli, leafy greens, spinach, and eggs.

Note: vitamin E quite resistant to impact high temperatures, but bright light and ultraviolet rays are destructive for it. Therefore, try not to store purchased vegetables and herbs under direct exposure to the sun. Vitamin E is best absorbed from food in combination with vitamins A and C, so it’s a good idea to combine dishes made from foods high in tocopherol with butter and vegetables - potatoes, carrots, salad.

Usually we go to the pharmacy to buy tocopherol and ask the pharmacist for this medicine. We are told that the pharmacy has vitamin E in the form of capsules, ampoules and in the form of an oil solution. What to choose:

  • The oil solution (50%) is alpha-tocopherol acetate. It is very convenient to measure it in teaspoons when preparing masks.
  • Vitamin E in capsule form has the same composition inside. To prepare masks, you need to take 3-5-10 capsules, pierce them with a clean needle and squeeze out the substance.
  • Tocopherol in ampoules is also used at home. Always accurate, convenient dosages.

Well, in fact, when making anti-aging masks, you can use any shape. Tocopherol is not used in its pure form. Usually combined with natural extracts, enhancing the rejuvenating properties of vitamin E.

Such masks have a quick and noticeable effect even after the first procedure. But still, the concentration of tocopherol in them is quite high, which can cause allergies.

Therefore, it is worth conducting an allergy test first. Apply a drop of the substance to the skin of the forearm, rub and leave for a day. The absence of redness indicates that there is no allergy to vitamin E. You can get creative and create masks.

If you still do not want to immediately start with high (medicinal) doses of the drug, you can use natural products with high content vitamin E.

These products include spinach, lettuce, sea buckthorn berries, and rose hips. We get vitamin c oatmeal which we prepare for breakfast. There is a lot of vitamin E in egg yolk and milk, in nuts and seeds, and some herbs (raspberry leaves, nettles). But, of course, the highest content natural vitamin E is present in pumpkin, olive and other vegetable oils.

  • Any scrub (for example, crushed powder sea ​​salt in a spoon of milk) clean your face to expand pores;

  • Lie quietly with the mask on your face for 20 minutes;
  • Rinse it off with water. But you can use a cotton swab soaked in milk, as well as a decoction of medicinal herbs. Pat your face dry with a paper towel. Apply nourishing cream;
