Vitamin E oil is both a nutrient and an antioxidant. According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, it helps neutralise free radicals, which damage cells and might contribute to cardiovascular disease, cancer and other ailments. Dr. Manoj K. Ahuja, Fortis Hospitals, says, “Vitamin E oil is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that can rejuvenate your skin and overall health. It encompasses a group of eight compounds that include both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Vitamin E oil in its purest form is extremely versatile. You can slather it on your skin or swallow it in a capsule."

Here are 10 benefits of applying Vitamin E oil on your skin:

1. Nourishes the Skin

Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj, a Delhi-based dermatologist says, “Vitamin E makes the nerves stronger and helps in nourishing your skin from within. Burst Vitamin E capsules with a safety pin and apply it onto the face for that soft, radiant skin you always wanted."

2. Treats Stretch Marks

Apply vitamin E oil onto the skin to increase levels of the nutrient in the skin tissue. To reduce the appearance of these marks, apply it regularly on the area and rub gently,” says Dr. Mukesh Girdhar, Dermatologist in Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj.
