One of the best skincare vitamins is vitamin E.

The one thing vitamin E is well known for is its ability to lighten scars. If you want to lighten up a scar just use vitamin E on a regular basis.

There are so many other things that vitamin E can help with in your skin care routine. Scars aren’t the only reason to add vitamin E to your skin are regimen. However, this crucial vitamin does so much more.

Here are a few vitamin E “secrets” that you may not know:

• The use of vitamin E will stop wrinkles in their tracks
The use of vitamin E will help heal your skin. It will actually help skin to reseal itself when cut. Which is the reason scars will become scarce with regular use of vitamin E. When skin is dry and cracked it heals and leaves little scars which are wrinkles. If you have already been using vitamin E regularly, then you have a head start at healing cracks when they happen.

• Exfoliate the correct way and vitamin E is more effective
To exfoliate your skin is to take off all the dead skin that lies on the surface. This also limits how deep wrinkles and acne scars can get. Wrinkles and scars will change quickly with regular use of vitamin E and responsible exfoliation. Long term inflammation can be a result of exfoliating more than a few times a week.

• Vitamin E reduces the appearance of stretch marks
Stretch marks are the result of your skin stretching or tearing but not actually breaking. However, skin that has already been stretched still can create scar tissue. Applying vitamin E before you get stretch marks and to the marks you have can prevent the formation of scar tissue that will create permanent streaks on your skin.

However, there are more uses for vitamin E than just topical. Many people take a daily vitamin E supplement as well as using it to help their skin. If you already take a vitamin E oil supplement, then try breaking one open. You may be amazed at what you can accomplish for your skin when the vitamin E is coming from both inside and out.
