Vitamin E: Why You Need It Everyday

Everyone knows it’s important to take care of your skin. But what if your current skin care routine just isn’t cutting it? Even in the winter, a good skin care routine may not solve everything and your skin can still dry out. Dry skin can be a sign of a vitamin E deficiency, which is the most abundant vitamin in your skin.  The good thing is that you don’t even have to drastically change your diet to get vitamin E. It’s readily available in our Vitamin E product line, and whether you prefer lotions, oils, or serums, any of our Vitamin E products can save your skin from premature aging or dryness. Here are some reasons why you should incorporate vitamin E into your skin care routine to protect and heal your skin.

 Sun Protection

We all know that applying sunscreen is one of the best ways to prevent sun damage to your skin, but vitamin E is a crucial nutrient that can help reduce UVA and UVB damage as well. Because sun exposure and UV rays can reduce vitamin E levels in the skin, it’s important to incorporate vitamin E into your skin care routine to restore it to its natural levels. With an SPF of 15, using our Vitamin E Daily Defense Moisturizer can reduce the damage from the sun while moisturizing your skin and giving it a healthy glow.

Eliminates Free Radicals

In winter, the sun’s harsh rays can still cause damage to your skin, no matter the temperature. Free radicals affect us year-round, but one of the many benefits of using vitamin E for your skin includes its antioxidant properties. It helps to combat free radicals in your body and protects your skin from further free radical damage. Do you have any scars that just won’t go away? An abundance of free radicals in the body or skin can make it difficult for scars to heal fully. Applying vitamin E oil to scars regularly can help those permanent scars diminish over time.

Anti-Aging Properties 

When running errands, or simply running in and out of the office, your vitamin E levels can drop as much as 50 percent. By replenishing your vitamin E levels, whether through diet or lotions, you can help your skin fight the anti-aging effects of sun exposure and vitamin E deficiency. Perfect to use as a daily moisturizer or night treatment, our Ultra Pure Vitamin E Oil can visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and brown spots, nipping premature wrinkles in the bud.

Lotions, Oils, Creams, and Serums

Vitamin E easily absorbs into the skin when applied topically. Not only does it help repair the damage from UVA and UVB rays, but it can also help with dry, patchy areas. If you suffer from dry skin in the winter (don’t we all?), applying a lotion with vitamin E can help your skin retain moisture. Problem areas like elbows and hands can benefit greatly from vitamin E moisturizers and lotions, and if you’re prone to dry skin on your face, our Vitamin E product line is safe to use. We even carry a vitamin E serum and cleanser specifically for your face. So whether you’re looking for a lotion, oil, cream, serum, or even gel, we have everything you need to protect your skin and keep it soft and looking young.

Moisturizes

Although you can get vitamin E from foods, there is no need to worry about absorbing too much of it through your skin. It’s not harmful to use on your skin, even in large amounts, so use it liberally guilt-free. Applying it regularly helps the skin retain water, which makes the skin softer. Vitamin E’s natural properties will also help the skin be healthier and more resilient. We even have a vitamin E daily scrub, so whatever your preference for moisturizing your skin, we have something that can easily fit into your routine.

Adding vitamin E lotions, oils, creams, or serums to your skin care routine can help make a healthier, happier, younger-looking you. So, whether you’re in and out of the office a couple times a day or just looking to boost your skin care regimen, vitamin E can give your skin daily relief, and you’ll look great using it, too.

Winter Getaway? Winter Skin Care May Not Cut It

If you’re looking to get away this winter, remember that you may need to alter your winter skin care routine to work no matter where you go. For those of us not lucky enough to live on a tropical island, we dream of going there when the weather gets chilly and frightful. Even if you fall off your diet on vacation, it’s important that you don’t neglect your skin care routine. When you want to make a quick getaway and soak up some sun on a winter vacation, it’s important to come prepared. So, here are some essentials you should bring with you to minimize space and maximize your sun protection wherever your winter travels may take you.

Sunscreen

This one is obvious. It’s easy to forget about the need for sunscreen when you spend all your time outside bundled up in a coat and a scarf. But even in the winter, it’s essential to apply sunscreen because UVA and UVB rays don’t care what the temperature is. But what kind of sunscreen should you bring on your winter vacay?

If you’re at the beach, it’s inevitable that you’ll get in the water. No matter where you go, keep in mind that you’re not just visiting a beach, but you’re also visiting its environment. Many places are becoming more mindful about the impact that sunscreen has on marine life. We recommend leaving it how you found it by not contributing to any marine pollution, and you can start by being mindful of your sunscreen. Made without reef-harming ingredients, our Beach Club collection has the SPF to protect you from the sun while keeping the local ecosystem from being harmed. Enjoy that beach guilt-free, and your skin will love it, too.

 Aloe Vera Gel

 So, you did everything right and applied sunscreen, but you still got burned. What gives? No need to worry. Take some aloe vera gel with you or try our new Beach Club After Sun to speed up that sunburn recovery. It can help you heal faster than letting your skin repair itself naturally; plus, it soothes while it moisturizes, so it’ll give you that quick relief you’re looking for, not to mention all the other benefits of applying aloe vera and moisturizing your skin.

Vitamin E 

If you’re going to be out in the sun, why not take your skin moisturizing game to the next level with our Ultra Pure Vitamin E Skin Oil? It may be small, but it packs a powerful, moisturizing punch that makes it easy to keep your skin hydrated. At only one-half fluid ounce, it’s easy to pack, and just a few drops can go a long way for your night treatment. You’ll be able to tell the difference when you wake up in the morning, and it’ll help restore the vitamin E levels in your skin after being out in the sun most of the day. Even if oils aren’t your thing, we have many different vitamin E products in creams, lotions, or serums, so you can moisturize and replenish to your heart’s content in whatever way you prefer.

Tanning Cream 

If you have a little extra space in your luggage, why not bring some sunless tanning cream? Don’t worry about soaking up some harmful UVA and UVB rays just to give everyone in your office some serious FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). After all, you didn’t go to a warmer spot just to wear tank tops and flip-flops. Our Fruit of the Earth sunless tanning creams will not only help keep your skin safe, but you’ll also come back without any tan lines. For maximum FOMO, apply it throughout the year. Without any bronzers or dyes, it’s easy to maintain an even, streak-free color all year long.

Follow these winter getaway tips, and it’ll be easy to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. You’ll get back home sunburn-free, have a nice tropical glow, and maybe even turn a few heads in the process. Just remember, when you return to that dry, cold air, switch back to your winter skin care routine to prevent dry, cracked skin.
