Vitamin E is a fat soluble compound, and is one of nature�s own beauty treatments. It is a potent antioxidant that heals and protects skin, and can provide support for the cardiovascular system, immune system and the female reproductive system.

In its natural state, vitamin E can be found in vegetable oils, nuts and avocado, and a diet rich in these should provide for most people�s needs, however supplements can be helpful for both health and cosmetic purposes. Vitamin E supplements come in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules and in multivitamin compounds, as well as topical beauty treatments and ointments for skin.

Vitamin E creams are great for keeping your skin healthy and supple. Many moisturisers contain vitamin E, which is also particularly effective for providing moisture for dry or damaged skin.
