As you age, your skin will age more. But fortunately, you can take advantage of natural treatments to maintain your appearance. There are many medical treatments (eg Botox which is harmful to health, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, facelifts which may be harmful, and many others) that are beneficial, and some of them are harmful to your health. In addition, medical treatment may be expensive. Fortunately, there are many natural treatments to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and make your face look younger. Vitamin E can kill free radicals (a damage to the skin) and improve its overall appearance. What's even better is, these treatments are natural.
Step
Step 1. Purchase a bottle or several capsules of vitamin E oil
The higher the IU vitamin E (international unit) number, the stronger the effect. Try buying 56,000 IU of vitamin E. However, you can also buy vitamin E for a few thousand IU. However, the smaller the IU number, the less the effect will be.
Step 2. Make sure your face is clean and dry
The effectiveness of the oil will decrease if your face is dirty. Meanwhile, if your face is wet, the oil will not stick to the surface. Also, make sure that there is no makeup left on your face, as this can create a barrier for the oil.
Step 3. Make sure to tie your hair (if it's long or covers your face)
Don't let your hair stick to your face. To tie the hair, use a ribbon or hair clips.
Step 4. Rub the oil onto the surface of the face
You can use a brush or tissue to rub the oil onto your face (optional). To use vitamin E oil in capsules, first open it with scissors and then wipe the contents onto the surface of the face. Leave the vitamin E oil on for at least 15 minutes or so. (Caution: vitamin E oil may be thick and sticky).
Step 5. Wash off the oil from the face
If the oil doesn't come off easily, you can wash your face with a cleansing soap. You can also use baby shampoo or a milder baby facial shampoo to wash your face instead of cleansing soap.
Step 6. After cleansing your face, you can use toner (optional)
Toners contain astringents (usually alcohol-based) that work to tighten skin and pores, and remove excess oil. This product can also remove the remaining dirt after you clean your face. Try not to use a toner that contains too much alcohol as it is very harsh and can dry out your skin.
Step 7. Dry your face with a clean towel or cloth
Make sure to wash your towels or washcloths 2-3 times a month.
Step 8. Apply moisturizer (optional)
This step aims to moisturize the face after washing and washing, as well as toner (if you use it). The moisturizer will restore the moisture lost in the previous step. Even if your skin is oily, using moisturizer is still beneficial for the skin to prevent dehydration and excessive oil production.
Tips
- It's best to use a moisturizer after you're done as this treatment may be a little harsh on your face.
- The higher the International Unit number, the better the benefits of vitamin E oil (for your skin).
- Instead, use a toner to remove excess oil, shrink pores, tighten skin, close pores, and more.
- Exfoliating facial treatments can unclog pores and allow moisture (including vitamin E oil) to penetrate the layers of the skin.
Warning
- Make sure you don't have an allergic reaction to vitamin E oil applied to your face (itching, irritation, inflammation, etc.). If you experience one or more of these symptoms, stop using vitamin E oil.
- Do not ingest vitamin E oil with high IU (400 IU and more harmful to the body). Vitamin E toxicity can increase the risk of stroke and cause internal bleeding.
