Vitamin E is a nutrient your body needs to support your immune system and help your cells to regenerate. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make getting enough essential to your everyday health.
Vitamin E is most commonly known for its benefits for skin health and appearance. It can be applied topically to your face to reduce inflammation and make your skin look younger.
Many people also swear by the effects of topical vitamin E when it’s applied to the face overnight.
Vitamin E on face as overnight treatment
Vitamin E oil can be used on your face as an overnight anti-aging treatment. Since vitamin E has a thick consistency, it’s best to apply it before bed so that it can fully absorb.
If applied in the morning, you may have difficulty putting makeup or serums on top of it.
Typically, you can apply a serum or oil mixture containing vitamin E as an all-over treatment on your face. This is different than using vitamin E to spot-treat a blemish, using a beauty treatment mask for a brief period of time, or taking an oral supplement that contains vitamin E.
Applying vitamin E as an anti-aging or skin-conditioning agent overnight involves letting the product completely absorb into your skin.
