Skin benefits of Vitamin E

Wondering why Vitamin E is good for skin? It has 5 key benefits: 

  1. It strengthens the skin barrier: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble ingredient, meaning it’s able to penetrate deep into the epidermis and preserve the lipids (fats) in the skin. The result? A skin barrier that feels soothed and looks healthy. 
  2. It helps skin to retain moisture: By strengthening the skin barrier, vitamin E also allows the skin to retain moisture more easily, keeping it hydrated for longer.  
  3. It protects from free radical damage: Full of antioxidantsVitamin E benefits the skin by helping to neutralise unstable free radicals and prevent skin damage.  
  4. It evens out skin tone: Vitamin E also boasts skin repairing properties that help to lighten dark spots and prevent hyperpigmentation. It’s the secret to smooth-looking skin and an even tan! 
  5. It replenishes dry skin: Vitamin E also promotes skin cell renewal, helping to replace dead cells fasterHealthy, glowing skin awaits! 

Why use Vitamin E skincare and self tanners

Tanning and skincare go hand in hand. Without healthy and hydrated skin, your tan will look patchy and uneven (as the dry areas will absorb more tan).  

So, for the most natural-looking glow possible, we recommend using a self tanner that doubles as Vitamin E skincareIt will not only give you a beautifully bronzed look, but will hydrate and nourish skin too – and, as we all know, the healthier and more hydrated your skin is, the longer your tan lasts!
