DIY Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant that prevents cell and tissues from oxidation, which can cause premature aging. Vitamin E is found in many hair and skincare products. You can use these hair and body care products which are readily available, however you can even make your own Vitamin E lotions and oils. I seriously believe Vitamin E oil is a magic potion.



There are multiple uses of Vitamin E oil:

  • Shiny hair
  • After sun moisturizer
  • For hair repair
  • For wrinkles and age spots
  • For skin cancer
  • Eczema and psoriasis
  • Burn wounds
  • Super soft skin
  • Reduces dark circles
  • For chapped lips
  • For dry cuticles
Things you will need to prepare Vitamin E oil:

  • Vitamin E capsules (I used Evion 400)
  • Olive oil
  • Tea spoon
  • Empty bottle (with a dropper if possible)
Procedure:
Take a clean bottle. Preferably dark colored ones. Fill the bottle with 2 and a 1/2 or 3 tsp olive oil. Puncture 3 capsules of Vitamin E oil and mix it in the bottle with the olive oil. Add a drop of lavender or jasmine essential oil for the fragrance. Store the bottle in a cool dark place.
Your own Vitamin E oil is ready. Yes, it is as simple as that.

Before using the oil try to do a patch test to find out if you are sensitive to it. Don't try using the oil directly from Vitamin E capsules because the oil is very sticky and thick in consistency. It is always better to dilute the concentrated Vitamin E oil.

Mix 1 or 2 drops of the prepared Vitamin E oil with your daily moisturizer and see the magic. I use this oil as night cream too. Take a drop of the Vitamin E oil and apply it under your eye on the dark circles. Massage the area lightly with the oil.  

I saw reduced dark circles under my eyes within ten days and I am absolutely in love with this homemade vitamin e oil. Don't apply more than 2 or 3 drops of the homemade Vitamin E oil unless you have dry skin because the excess oil can clog your pores.
It is best to use Vitamin E oil at night because it can be oily and greasy. Replace your night cream with Vitamin E oil.

Now try it and you will love it.
