All these months of staying indoors have given us the opportunity to understand our own body, listen to it, and take care of it. If there is one thing that has benefitted the most from the stay-at-home situation due to coronavirus, it is our skin.

Not only are we away shielded from pollution, but we also have the time to take good care of our skin. 

One of the best things you can use to heal your skin is vitamin E. Vitamin E oil is both a nutrient and an antioxidant. It makes our skin smooth and keeps it hydrated. As a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that can rejuvenate our skin, it blocks free radicals, which can be a major contributor to the ageing process, from harming the body.

Vitamin E capsules are readily available over-the-counter and can be used in multiple ways for your skincare. 

Here are 5 ways you can use vitamin E for the benefit of your skin:

1. Vitamin E as a skin serum
Just puncture a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the liquid out of it onto your palms. Dab a little on your face, especially around your eyes, forehead, and mouth. Leave it on for the entire night. It’s a sticky and oily liquid, so make sure you don’t use too much of it.

2. Vitamin E as a skin cream
Make your very own vitamin E skin cream by adding vitamin E capsule to your night cream. You can also add it to your body lotions and make them vitamin E-enriched lotions.

3. Vitamin E as a cuticle, knee, and elbow softener
